Explain please? I cannot make sense of the op's sentence in a way that advocates social engineering.

  The first half of the sentence is saying, "Don't do things the hard way (hacking) when you can do them the easy way (social engineering)". The second half is saying "Everyone should know this."

  Interesting. I am not a native speaker and I cannot make sense of the op's sentence in a way you understand it. How did you understand op's sentence in the first place?

    lol just saw this. Basically, I thought he was being sarcastic in saying "Clever win" and took the "It's not clever to hack something that you can socially engineer" as "It's not clever to socially engineer". Hopefully that helps.

  "It's not clever to hack [with social engineering] something that you can socially engineer" vs "It's not clever to hack something [i.e. with technical exploits] that you can socially engineer""
