Nightfire: When it comes to social engineering, we must once again mention the legendary Kevin Mitnick, the pioneer of social engineering. His book *The Art of Deception* is probably known to everyone, right? This book, *Hacker Social Engineering Attacks*, which claims to be the Chinese version of *The Art of Deception* Secret File, you'll have to buy it and take a look to know exactly how good it is.

First, I want to correct some people's misconceptions about social engineering. Social engineering is not just small-scale mischief; when done properly, its effects can be truly terrifying—yes, absolutely terrifying! If you don't believe me, you can check out this real-life example: "Application of Social Engineering in Hacking: A Password-Triggered 'Bloodbath.'"

This book *Hacker Social Engineering Attacks* published by NoHack (Non-Security, Hacker Manual) has been on my radar since early March, but I've been waiting and waiting, and now it’s finally set for release on April 20th. Fortunately, there are only a few more days left. I’ve already pre-ordered a copy from the official Taobao store of Hacker Manual: Hacker Manual 1st Branch. The price is 29 RMB, not too expensive. Including the cost of regular mail at 3 RMB, it totals 32 RMB. They will send me the first batch of *Hacker Social Engineering Attacks* as soon as it’s available~ HOHO~ If you're interested, hurry up and place your order!

I remember the last time I received the packages of *Mastering Script Hacking* and *Buffer Overflow Tutorial*. It took only 9 days via regular mail, so I think that's not too slow, right?

Speaking of this, the cover of *Hacker Social Engineering Attacks* looks so much like a file folder. At first glance, I thought it was just a file folder. I wonder if they will package it in a file folder when shipping~

Nightfire PS: This time at Hacker Manual 1st Branch, I also spotted the classic book *Buffer Overflow Tutorial*. If you want to buy or collect it, hurry up and grab it~ If you don’t want to spend 19 RMB on the physical book, you can check out the resources I’ve collected: *Buffer Overflow Tutorial* eBook download and the accompanying CD ISO for *Buffer Overflow Tutorial*.
