RT-SOEN – Social Engineering
About Course
This course lays out a complete, professional curriculum for authorized offensive social engineering within red-team programs. You will learn human-centric tradecraft from first contact to closeout: elicitation, influence, pretext design, and how to blend these skills with physical covert campaigns and hybrid ops. The course covers target research, story framing, voice and presence, space cues, timing, and escalation control, all anchored to clear Rules of Engagement and safety protocols. Learners practice comms and deconfliction, document every action for audit, and produce reusable artifacts such as pretext briefs, wardrobe and prop lists, comms trees, and AAR templates. The result is a team that executes cleanly, protects the client and the operator, and can prove its work.
What Will You Learn?
- Design and validate social engineering campaigns that support covert and hybrid engagements
- Create ethical, authorized pretexts and escalation paths for human interaction testing
- Map human attack surface including suppliers, contractors, and employee behaviors
- Convert social findings into operational inputs, detection tests, and mitigations
- Coordinate social campaigns with physical and tech-based actions
