Some Resources on Social Engineering

I have recently been to social engineering lecture by some security specialist. The presentation was ok. There were no surprises as I was interested in social engineering some time ago. However, there were some useful resources and and tools mentioned, which I want to list here:

• Google hacking database
• TinEye -- reverse image search
• SpoofCard -- caller ID spoofing
• social-engineer.org has some podcasts
• Spying tools (well, this is too insane, actually)
• Longhorn lock picking club
• Teensy USB -- can be used for backdoor infection etc.
• The PlugBot -- fake power supply
• Maltego -- a tool for bringing a picture of the organization (hoes does different infrastructure elements relate to each other)
• Shodan Search
• books: Social Engineering: The Art of Human Hacking, Emotions Revealed: Understanding Faces and Feelings
