ABSTRACT
Organizations invest heavily in technical controls for their Information Assurance (IA) infrastructure.
These technical controls mitigate and reduce the risk of damage caused by outsider attacks. Most
organizations rely on training to mitigate and reduce risk of non-technical attacks such as social
engineering. Organizations lump IA training into small modules that personnel typically rush through
because the training programs lack enough depth and creativity to keep a trainee engaged. The key to
retaining knowledge is making the information memorable. This paper describes common and emerging
attack vectors and how to lower and mitigate the associated risks.
KEY WORDS
Security Risks, Phishing, Social Engineering, Cross Site Scripting, Emerging Attack Vectors, DNS poising.
1. INTRODUCTION
Phishing is a social engineering technique that is used to bypass technical controls implemented
to mitigate security risks in information systems. People are the weakest link in any security
program. Phishing capitalizes on this weakness and exploits human nature in order to gain access
to a system or to defraud a person of their assets.

GTA's LiL' Wicked Comz I made this help file to help explain the commands. First, a little about the prog. This was made by me, gta. It took about a good two weeks, but I was working on and off with it so that's why it took so long. I will probably add more features to this prog. If you have any suggestions feel.....

Ryan D Johnson AKA RJ2 – Archive
http://web.mac.com:80/rj2worldwide/ On this site archive there wasn't really much, just something about RJ2 running for mayor in 2008. And a couple more domains that lead us to know some other archives such as smarthouseproject.com, and milliondollarroadtrip.com This song was also found on RJ2's archive which creeps me the fuck out that it's the only mp3 file found throughout the entire archive.

o.o – Notes From the Author [James Tyrrell]
Now listen all. I, in no way, endorse hacking. Hacking is a bad thing. It’s a crime actually, punishable by jail time. I don’t know how to hack. I do however, understand how server’s work, and with that knowledge created a computer game that allows people to connect to fake servers. In the game, they are aloud to try to break into them. That is all.
Next… This game is NOT realistic. It’s fun tho. Understand that please before emailing myself or anybody else at Unreal Visions!
Hacker is Freeware. It can be uploaded and distributed ANYWHERE as long as it contains the original unedited files it came with. This includes skins, sounds, documentation, and everything else. I want people to recognize MY skill, not someone elses.
I would like to thank the people that gave me little help. I created this program entirely by myself with only the aid of a few websites that had sound archives. Even that isn’t considered much. The beta testers tested to see if my creation was good, the didn’t actually test it however. Unfortunatly, I was in a lack of testers so this first release of the game may be bad. Again, I just want EVERYONE TO KNOW that I created this with no help from Unreal Visions, friends, or associates. It was hard. It took 3.5 months, but it’s first release is complete and I’m happy with it 😀
