I stumbled upon this paper from three researchers in Portugal. They do a good job defining a lot of terms and definitions which are used in the Social Engineering. Especially helpful is that the paper describes many of these attacks and shows examples in Kali. On the other hand the paper is a little short and pretends to be a research piece when no new information is given. It only really describes the existing state of Social Engineering but draws no new conclusions.

Hi Frederic
Thanks for sharing the information. Social engineering is one of the most commonly happened attack in organizations. Employees lose their privacy data because of lack of security awareness training. Sometimes they click on unknown links on their emails, and enter their personal information to the unknown website. It is easy for attackers to collect personal information in organizations for bad purpose. Therefore, it is important for organizations to have training program for employees.
