How the Military Approaches Social Engineering

The military has been in the spy–counterspy business from the beginning; they are also experts at interrogation. Spying is the long con, whereas interrogation is generally the method used to get access to information in an immediate situation. This section will focus on the near term gathering of data (or the short con). We will look at the techniques used to extract information and discuss how they apply to SE.

First, we must understand that these techniques have been developed to work in both peacetime operations and combat situations. They are normally done in a controlled environment and are very similar to the techniques used by Law Enforcement Agencies. The basic principles are similar to SE and the foundational principles and many of the techniques apply well to SE attacks. The military trains interrogators and they will stay in that discipline their entire careers. They will become proficient in the languages and culture of their assigned region. Human Intelligence (HUMINT) operators or Interrogators are trained to deal with screening refugees, debriefing U.S. and allied forces, interrogating prisoners of war, interview collaborators, exploiting captured material, liaising with host nation, acting as interpreters if needed and interacting with the local population.
