The first book that was greatly mentioned by my former colleague in eB. Azlan used to tell me that this book is the good one. It’s the human engineering to hack and to penetrate the organization. Not so techie but rather it’s about manipulating the human to do the stuff for you.

Later few years, I managed to borrow from a friend for reading. I found out that there’s nothing much to shout about. The story how Kevin managed to manipulate the person was rather interesting. It define how we might succumb to such persuasion and deception if it really occurs.

One of the turn off point is Kevin himself sharing on the way how overcome these deception methodology. In fact, after a while these guide no much longer new. Most of organization today are implementing it. Unless those ignorant one whom have this attitude of “It won’t happened to me, it only happens to others”

Still, its a good reading material as Kevin is sharing his experience throughout the book.
