If you want to really know, read "The Art of Intrusion" and "The Art of Deception". Kevin Mitnick is the one who mainly used social engineering as his main hacking tool.

Idiot proofing is like an arms race between bomb makers and bomb shelter makers.

IT takes a lot of expertise to make a better bomb shelter that won't collapse on itself while still protecting you from a bomb that's big.

It's very easy to make a bigger bomb.
