Assignment:
Read the 1.1.3 – Dumpster Diving.pptx presentation. This lesson will introduce you to a form of information harvesting that involves digging through literal trash.
Read the 1.1.4 – Shoulder Surfing.pptx presentation. This lesson will introduce you to a form of information harvesting that should make you a little more aware of who’s behind you while you’re entering sensitive information into a form or field.
Begin reading the Case Study – Dumpster Diving.pdf document and be prepared to answer the questions at the end.
Answer the Case Study questions in the Google Form provided in today’s Assignment Post in our Google Classroom.
Please do your best to complete this Case Study by the end of the day on Tuesday, December 13th.

Assignment:
Begin reading the 1.1.2 – Phishing and Spam.pptx presentation. This lesson will provide you with an overview of phishing methods.
Next, begin the Lab – Phishing.pptx lab. Use the phishery tool to conduct a Phishing attack, and note the difference between the Credential Harvesting method conducted in our last class session and the development and deployment of a Phishing email message with the intent to “hook” a victim.
Play the victim, and upload a screenshot of the successful attack screen with the “New credentials harvested!” message to today’s Google Classroom assignment post to confirm completion of the lab.

Assignment:
Begin reading the 1.1.8 Credential Harvesting.pptx presentation. This lesson will introduce you to social engineering-based attacks designed to acquire login credentials from victims.
Next, begin the Lab – Credential Harvesting.pptx lab. This lab will introduce you to the Social Engineering Toolkit, a powerful set of tools that you can use to set up a number of credential-stealing attacks. In this activity, you will use the Social Engineering Toolkit to launch a phishing attack within the confines of the CYBER.ORG Cyber Range.
Play the victim, and upload a screenshot of the successful attack screen with the “GOT A HIT!” message to today’s Google Classroom assignment post to confirm completion of the lab.
