Why is &[b]#34[/b];E-Whoring&[b]#34[/b]; in the &[b]#34[/b];Beginner Hacking&[b]#34[/b]; section?

Why is E-Whoring in the "Beginner Hacking" section? What does hacking have to do with E-Whoring?
It's what Omniscient feels is right with this one. It doesn't really have anything to do with hacking (Unless you count social engineering has hacking, which actually may be a good explanation), but there are no other good sections to have it in I think.

Yeah I think it should be in the Money section in my opinion.
E-Whoring does have a bit to do with human manipulation or social engineering if you will and some people consider social engineering to be a form of hacking so I'd assume that's why.

Wondering the same, Could be in Money making since it's a technique to make money and there are many different ways ;)

It doesn't really fit anywhere. I don't see why it matters anyway though. I think it's fine where it is.

I wouldn't want to buy a show from her at all. 😝

She doesn't like you either.




Anyways, I think that the eWhore section is mounted in the correct section, there isn't any other section that fits it's place. eWhoring to many members is considered a form of Social engineering, which on Hackforums, counts as blackhat activity. So unless you have a correct section to back up this up, provide it, and if you can't, continue by closing this thread.

I don't think this will go anywhere (IMHO)
I got a question, since when has social engineering had to do with hacking? :S
You could call Social Engineering a part of hacking too, like 'hacking' the human brain into paying us. (manipulating)

I don't really care though, i think it fits better in the 'Money' forum.
Well, I'll be closing and cleaning up this thread. Sorry.

However, to answer your question. E-Whoring is considered a form of social engineering and social engineering is considered a
form of hacking. And considering the SE section was closed, BH section is the next best choice. Not money. I'm willing to be a
good 90% of the people on this forum don't even know what E-Whoring actually is. That said. ...
