Along with the development of information technology in recent years, awareness about the security of computer systems is also increasing. Because the human factor is often guilty of the vulnerabilities to which an information system is exposed, this paper will research and evaluate disparate attack vectors which are being utilized today to successfully exploit human weaknesses. We will also try to create a mechanism to mitigate against these attack vectors.
