Let's start!


Social Engineering is human manipulation. And Human manipulation can be used to do different things such as Warranty Exploitation. Social Engineering is commonly used for three things: Hacking, eWhoring and Warranty Exploitation. I will go under all three subjects. Social Engineering is often shorten out to "SE". When people say they SE'd a item it's not true. They warranty exploited. They WE'd it, but because SE'd has become the standard term and to avoid confusion we will say SE'd in this guide.



Warranty Exploitation
All products sold brand new any place in the world, has a Warranty. That warranty can be a year or it could be 2 years. Now how do we exploit the warranty that comes with these products? It's a combination of Warranty Exploitation and Human manipulation. To get free items we must first find Vulnerable companies. You guys think it's weird that companies like Microsoft doesn't know to this, but they do. So let's give it a break through shall we!


When SE'ing item's you have to find companies with a policy that forces to send you the item. This is where the Warranty Exploitation comes in. In order to find companies you can either Test them you'r self or hear about them on SE.NET or you can find them on Google.


Now if you are a new Social Engineer I would advise you to start out with sending a email to the easy companies. I have putted them in the correct order on how I think someone should start SE'ing. I think most SE'ers could quickly learn SE'ing if they did the companies in this rank.




-Protect and Gambler
-Microsoft
-Otterbox
-Klipsch
-Phillips
-EA
-Philips
- SOL Republic.
- Any cologne and perfume company expect Armani and some other fashion brands.
-Converse
-Sony TV's PATCHED/HARDER TO DO AS OF 11/12/2012
- Logitech things under 100$.
- Iomega
- Amazon Kindles


Now how do we SE These companies and products?
There requirements:


Product Identification Number:
Has many names, in SE.NET people call it PID (Shorten out Product identification number). But in most products it's called Serial number. This is required to do most SE'S,however exceptions can be made example some headsets doesn't have Serial number.


Proof of Purchase:
A receipt. Some times companies doesn't accept a warranty claim without a receipt. A common method to talk you'r self out of a receipt is: "I got it as a gift".


Know you guys are wondering how the hell we are gonna find that! I will tell you.


Go to www.adhuntr.com


Type in wished product and send the guy a email like mine:




Now you got the Serial but what about the receipt? PHOTOSHOP amigo. I am gonna give you a template for photoshop that you can edit out, all you'r self to any product! Now beware that AMAZON receipts is saturated on most likely ALL companies.




Here is a download link for a Walmart receipt: http://www.mediafire.com/?udxnj013fe3qomk


BestBuy Receipt: http://www.mediafire.com/?biiiiwr25xa56wl


and you are gonna need this font file (system32/fonts) http://www.dafont.com/merchant-copy.font


Example on a receipt



Now lets SE! I am gonna show you guys a conversation between me and Otterbox!


Go to here: http://anonym.to/?http://www.otterbox.co...lt,pg.html

Fill the form out! And this is what I typed in:

Code:

Hello. I have recently brought a cover for my Galaxy S3, I opened it open and it was broken. My brother has some anger issues and trowed it away.

Now we are saying we trowed it away, to avoid Otterbox asking for pictures of the cover, as that just pain in the ass. Instead Otterbox will ask for receipt, which they will get.


SE should be done after 2 days! And shipped within a week! Remember: ALL SE's is the same. So just keep you'r up the list!


Now I am gonna talk about VCC SE'ing. Companies such as Amazon, Sony , Iomega requires a hold on a Credit card. But the hold is only 1$, this is why SE'ers invest in something called "VCC" which stands for Virtual Credit card. The rest is the same.


I am also gonna discuss drop places. For you that doesn't know what a drop place is read this!


A drop house is a house that is not you'rs but, you are using to ship you'r packages there. There could be a lot of reason to do this.


-Safety (SE'ing is fraud and illegal)
-When becoming a advanced SE'er and doing some big companies, they bill and so on. Drop can avoid that.
- Don't wanna give you' real address.
- Already raped the fuck out of the company to you'r real address.


So this is reason why people uses drop. Some people are wondering how drops works and if they should stand all day long waiting for the package. There is a solution for EVERYTHING.


Go to you'r locally real estate site, find some abandon houses. BOOM drop house.


If you are expecting a delivery, put a signed note saying you are coming home tonight and he should leave the package outside.


Some people says, that having a drop house is not possible in there country. Well IT IS, use the note trick.


More about SE'ing. When you se'd the companies on that list you got "Advanced Replacement" It means you are getting the replacement first. Some companies is harder to get then others. Example at Apple, you will need to Box method them, of course unless you got a badass method.


Box method is a method of tricking the company believing you have sent the item, but that it was lost under transit.


Basically, get the box, Kick it around so it looks stolen and the you can ship it And you should get an Apple product if you could provide a REAL (Not the ones from the PSD's) receipt and serial number.


There is also a other method called, Biohazzard. It's basically tricking the company into thinking that its not possible for you to ship. You can say stuff like "I have aids and I bleed on the product, Fedex won't ship my products" This excuse doesn't work for major companies as UPS and Fedex offers a way to ship these things.


This all you need to know about Warranty Exploitation!



EWhoring


It's basically abusing horny men. Simply get pictures of a naked girl and try to sell it a guy. Most pictures goes for 1-2$!


Now you can look for schoolgirl nudes on the internet and go on Chat Avenue and find a horny guy with a credit card and tell him to pay you off. BINGO.


Most of these guys wants free pictures or dirty talk so most people sell on a LISTING SITE. Basically go on you'r local selling site. Offer you'r self as a hooker "19 year old virgin looking to lose virginity highest bidder wins" Payment must be advanced.


Basically you have understood the concept of Ewhoring!


Hackers Attacking using SE.


SE means human manipulation. Most hackers dox each other by getting someones IP and calling there Internet Service Provider and pretend to be a Police officer and get there information. Hackers also SE Google and Microsoft and other companies to give sensitive data.


With SE You can do anything!

Very nice write up. Great guide on it all too! I like the way you laid out some 'tests' or guided 'labs' for the newbies @ SE'ing.

Keep up the posts like this...

[workaholics]

Also if the product goes into interstate trafficking "One states to another, Washington to Florida" Thats a very punishable felony so watch out.

[Div]

Very nice post. Read it all!

You could even track a shipping order online so you can follow closely, so you nab your package before someone else does.

This is an amazing guide and should help beginners. Good work.

Thanks everyone for liking this tutorial, I hope this is useful for you.

[Dɪᴀᴍᴏɴᴅ]

Thank you for posting this, I needed to start some where.

[Diego]

Thanks! I was looking to SE but i did not know where to start! Helps a ton!

[Phytrix]

I'd like to see a topic about general social manipulation, rather than social engineering for products. Possibly could be something worth adding to this thread, considering it seems to already cover a wide variety of SE-related topics.
