Summary of Phil Lapsley's Exploding the Phone
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 1967, Jake Locke got a letter from someone who claimed to have his notebook. It was written in some sort of alien hieroglyphics, and his roommate said it looked like Russian. Locke didn’t know what to think. #2 The author responded to an ad placed in the newspaper by a spy ring. He was sent a letter in Russian, and then a postcard with a handful of questions. He spent every waking hour working on the postcard questions. #3 An inward is a special telephone operator who can help you make calls that would otherwise be difficult to make. You can’t call an inward by dialing their number, but you can call them up and ask them to complete a call to someone. #4 One postcard question down, one to go: What equipment were the students at MIT using. Locke found an article in the Crimson about some MIT students who got in trouble for playing with the telephone. He found out that the library was close to his dorm.

Social Engineering
Manipulative communication—from early twentieth-century propaganda to today’s online con artistry—examined through the lens of social engineering. The United States is awash in manipulated information about everything from election results to the effectiveness of medical treatments.

In Social Engineering, Robert Gehl and Sean Lawson show that online misinformation has its roots in earlier techniques: mass social engineering of the early twentieth century and interpersonal hacker social engineering of the 1970s, converging today into what they call ...
