CEO and Chief Human Hacker at Social-Engineer, Chris Hadnagy, went from phone phreaker to social engineering authority with many things in between. In college, Chris took phone phreaking to a new level and recreated Cap'n Crunch whistle sound with a computer, strung a bunch of modems together, and inadvertently took down 75% of Sarasota County's phone system. His foray into social engineering came after a slew of non-tech jobs. Chris advises us maybe not to read his first book, but to read a lot to help educate yourself and to get yourself out there and prove yourself. We thank Chris sharing his story with us.
