Today I have received an Feedback which made me very happy.
One of the very first known Social Engineer’ s or Worlds Most known hackers Kevin Mitnick is recommending my book “Learn Social Engineering” in his sessions , conferences as per this e-mail :
“Good Morning (or) Afternoon, Dr…
Hope you are well in the middle of this pandemic. My name is Carleton Smith, a older online student currently undergoing online re-certification in Digital Forensics using the EdX platform taking classes at RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology under Dr. Johnathan Weissman) ~ Network Security.
I have been unable everywhere I’ve looked both online at Amazon, my local library online, interlibrary loan system throughout the USA, etc… to find your book Learn Social Engineering ISBN: 978-1-78883-792-7 even in a .PDF version.
The reformed hacker, Kevin Mitnick, now a IT security consultant in Las Vegas, NV had spoken of your book recommending it so I wanted to read it. But again, finding a copy has been quite elusive so far.
Would you have even a .PDF summary of the “highlights” available maybe I could purchase? I would be most grateful for any assistance and thank you in advance for your time today.
It’s a fascinating subject, isn’t it? My current professor says one can easily” get quite lost” in it…
Once again, thank you, Sir. Have a most blessed day!
