This is the community for all things hacking and cybersecurity, try keeping it legal. That said I don't take any responsibility for anything that happens/comes from this group but I will try being the best mod that I can to prevent anything from happening.

So, I know this sounds a little stereotypical, but I'm terrible with people. I know that social engineering is an excellent tool and can speed up things like active recon, but I just can't figure it out. Does anyone know any resources for learning or just have general tips?

Get a job in retail.

It's a skill like any other, and the only way to get good at it is to do it.

Also, calling it 'socializing' makes you sound normal; calling it 'social engineering' makes you sound like a weirdo.
