Title: Hijacking Autopilot: The Reticular Activating System (RAS) and the Art of Capturing Attention
Alethe will explore how the brain’s Reticular Activating System (RAS) filters information — and how social engineers can exploit it to bypass awareness and capture attention. Expect practical insights into perception manipulation and cognitive blind spots in security behavior.
Whether you’re looking to sharpen your offensive security skills, learn real-world OSINT tactics, or just connect with a passionate community of practitioners, Layer 8 delivers high-value content in an approachable setting.
