Chris Pritchard
Chris has worked in a range of industries, most notable of which are Critical National Infrastructure (CNI), and leading edge design and manufacturing (Dyson).
Doing so has given Chris a very varied array of knowledge, from penetration testing robot vacuum cleaners, to designing and testing secure ICS/OT networks.
During Chris’ time at Dyson, he was involved in developing the global security team and performing internal penetration testing. Chris was also heavily involved with securing the design of Dyson’s current and future internet connected appliances, and corresponding smartphone applications.
Chris is an Red Team Lead at Accenture which involves him acting and thinking like a genuine attacker to compromise client networks.
Chris’ skill set also includes Social Engineering, and he has successfully gained access into CNI, Airports and Casinos, which are regarded are some of the most secure facilities in the industry.
Chris has been lucky enough to have spoken at DefCon twice (Social Engineering 101 & How to hack an oil rig) , and many different BSides across the country.
Session
In 2018 at Bsides London, I presented The Basics of Social Engineering. That talk purposefully stayed away from psychology because I wanted to start with the absolute basics first.
6 years later, we're ready to level up your SE game with basic psychology.
The talk will cover:
Miller's Law
How to make an entrance
Body Language And Behaviour
Reciprocation
Friendship Signals
Isopraxism
A fun and engaging talk, with some funny war stories and real life examples from experience thrown in.
