Design of a Chatbot Social Engineering Victim

Abstract

Social engineering is an ever-growing problem in online and offline communication. Companies invest time and resources to train employees not to fall victim to attacks. The concept of adversarial thinking encourages people to learn the ways of the attacker to better defend themselves. This research introduces the design features of a chatbot that plays the role of a social engineering victim to allow people to perform the role of an attacker in a training exercise. By attacking this chatbot, people can learn better how to defend themselves.
