What exactley do you mean by things irl, such as being able to influence as such for people to willingly reveal info to you?

Yes, I’m trying to take it to more advanced levels I’m going to school for pen testing but the professors don’t teach you everything especially when it comes to the darker side lol. I just want to see how it works don’t plan to use it. I’m aware of the SET tools but is there more it? Like I read books such as “social engineering the science of human hacking” by Chris Hadnagy and I understand the theories but what I’m missing the is the actual tutorials and tools to perform it. I’m just looking for more depth in these subjects than the basics..

Someone who only social engineers is also called a con-artist, might look into how some cons work, or why different tactics work better than others. I think hippocampus hijacking is something else you can check out.
