Taxonomy of social engineering attack types with their psychological mechanisms, technical indicators, case studies, and detection patterns for phishing, BEC, and multi-channel attacks. Use when analyzing a suspected attack or explaining how one works so defenses can be designed.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

How to install
mdr add hermeticormus/libresecops-claude-code/social-engineering-attacks@sha256:cd24a97b9c962291The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.71a2663, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
