Below is a complete list of all the weaknesses in a human mind that
you can exploit to your own advantage when trying to separate
people from their money.

You've probably heard of a lot of em but its nice to have em all in 1 place.
Like a manual for all of the security holes in a person's decision making
process. Probably quite a few you haven't heard of as well.

Happy Blackhatting

Very useful and succinct wiki on cognition and inherent biases! Wish I had found this before I spent all that time any money on my Psych. degree! LOL.

If a good writer like Malcom Gladwell could write a book on all of them, I would buy each and everyone.

I have never seen this list before, great share. Combining this list with some writing skills and the proper marketing = a lot of $$$
