From the ever-interesting blog of security expert Bruce Schneier comes this story about a clever social engineering prank played on a college basketball player.

hehe reminds me of Baseketball.

"That was a sweet psych out, man."

That's almost as good as QGL's own Janie prank.

What happend with the Janie prank?

Tiny, it was awesome. I couldn't find the thread sorry :(

heres the janey thread :)

OMG that would have been the best to see happening.

hah that's why, I mis-spelled janey :) Thanks phathead. Too bad the thread is borked :(

Nothing quite as funny as someone eleses misfortune

I think the obvious solution here is to never try and pickup women because you *might* embarrass yourself.

Heh, he deserved it. That's what you get for chatting up 'birds' online. Anyone I see with a blatantly girly screen name I take for 40 year old men. In fact, anyone claiming to be a girl on the internet I take for 40 year old men.

I've picked up girls over the internet before, but you know what my trick was? I pretended I wasn't a horny guy looking for sex and paid out those who were. When in reality, I was a horny guy looking for sex.

fixed that old busted thread; I have haxed in some new code to fix old threads - unfortunately I can't magically detect them and fix them on the fly but if people point them out to me via PM I'll just fix them as I find them.

Hahaha... I like how it discretely says on one of the linked pages at the very end

Following the game, Rod Benson (number 0) was hospitalized for busting a lung.

Rofl...
