Hacker 101/ Lesson 1: "Social Engineering"


Not finding any unprotected wifi hotspots on my laptop while doing laundry at Lucy's on Sunset, I see "Dunes1", "Dunes2", and "Dune3", all protected but seeable on my laptop while I wait at Burger King for my washing machine to finish.

iphone>google maps>"hotel"
"Dunes Inn - Sunset"
DIAL
"Hello, Dunes Inn."
"Yes, I'm visiting a guest at your hotel and I
'm trying to log onto your wifi. What the Username and Password please?"
"Yes, Username is 'Hollywood'"
"For all 3 wifi zones?"
"Yes sir, and Password is ****."
"Great! Thanks"

That's called- 'Social Engineering'.

So ends lesson #1.

This lesson brought to you by a socially engineered internet connection and the letter 'H'.

Testing

If a blog is posted in the interwebs, and nobody reads it, does it exist?

OP! First poster!

This is my first blog.
I'm also following a blog for the first time.
http://hollydgilliam.blogspot.com/

I think blogs are a place for people to vent when they don't have a friend nearby
to spew their thoughts out onto.
It's not the public soapbox of Facebook. It's more like down a dark alley and around
the corner near the rear entrance to the neighborhood B- rated Chinese restaurant.
I'm embarking on a new journey. One that will take me thru and between foreign places
such as Twitter, Pintrest, IRC, 4chan, and many other strange and exotic lands in the
current world of social media and virtual presence.
Our Online selves.

Welcome aboard.

This blog's task from Project Mayhem:
Anyone that helps me find a reliable, registered, smog tested, NON-check-engine-light-
shining vehicle (body damage/ugly is FINE!) will win money/respect/friendship/ jobs/
connections/ dedication.
