In truth, I wouldn't focus necessarily on it from a geek perspective...I'd
look at it from the standpoint of those who do nothing BUT social engineer,
without the other technical aspects.  This would be sales techniques, and
the methods of grifters, confidence men and intelligence officers.  The last
category is probably a bit harder to get information on, but there are a lot
of things out there both in the worlds of fiction and non-fiction to get you
going on the rest.

I am sure this has been asked here several times before, but 
if everyone could indulge me I would be grateful.

I am trying to find some good resources for social 
engineering methodologies and such performed as part of pen-test work.

Books, links, previous SF posts (date/subject) etc. are all welcome.

Thanks all,
