• The Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3) is a standard email protocol that allows users to retrieve emails from a mail server. Unlike other email protocols (such as IMAP), POP3 downloads emails to the user’s device and removes them from the server. In Sam’s case, setting up POP3 ensures that emails containing sensitive data are directly downloaded to his device without leaving a copy on the mail server.

Social engineering attacks exploit human psychology to manipulate individuals into divulging sensitive information or performing actions that compromise security. In Sam’s case, he aims to gather critical information about the organization using social engineering techniques.

System administrators are prime targets for social engineering attacks due to their privileged access and knowledge of the organization’s infrastructure. They often have access toadmin passwords, OS versions, and other critical information. By targeting system administrators, Sam can gather the required details to plan his attack effectively.
