Social engineering, simply put, is essentially the art of gaining access to buildings, systems or data by exploiting human psychology, rather than by breaking in or using technical hacking techniques.

In this episode, Kevin explains how one trick at the social engineer's disposal involves using something as simple as a strategically placed USB key.
