Housing staff want a scripted browser to log into a sock puppet and send friend requests to fifty landlords. What should the analyst do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A robot that knocks on fifty private doors is still pretexting. Sock puppets are for researcher OPSEC, not for automating friend requests. Stay with public posts and pages.
Full Explanation
Automation does not change the public-source rule. Scripted logins and mass friend-requests seek private or gated content through interaction, which is social engineering rather than PORP collection. Sock-puppet accounts exist to protect the researcher while viewing public artifacts, not to industrialize pretexting. Wireless attacks are a different out-of-scope class, so collect public housing and landlord artifacts only.
