I'll Let Myself In: Tactics of Physical Pen Testers

I work as a HVAC service tec, I get into everywhere. Bank vaults, operating rooms, server rooms, roof tops, back rooms of police stations, very little questions. People just trust service people and never question all the tools.

I once worked at a computer company and we were told to make sure that no one goes in the back that is an authorized. One time a guy came in he started to walk in the back and I said excuse me who are you and he went off on me that he was from corporate. Later that day my manager went off on me for stopping somebody from corporate who had no credentials on them from entering the back. After that I never bothered to stop anybody from going anywhere they wanted.

So true.. confidence is everything.. I was a lift (elevator for our USA cousins) engineer. You walk into a building you never been to before and ask for the Motor room keys. If you don't know where the motor room is they take you there! I also worked at the Bank of England. On normal service scheduled days they would give you the third degree, phone your company etc.. UNLESS the lift was out of service in which case they never checked anything and nearly dragged you inside to o and fix it!

Number 1, look like you belong there. Couldn't tell you how many times I've walked around a secured facility (as an actual vetted service tech with temporary credentials and either an escort or temp keycard) and nobody asks any questions. I have a shirt that matches the name on the truck, generally normal looking for a service electrician (shirt, bluejeans, workboots, safety glasses) and I know I'm supposed to be there. Without fail nobody will ever give me a second glance except to wonder what I'm working on. The people having issues are more than happy to let me into any room I ask for when I give them an explanation that they don't understand. Only places I've worked with real security were military. Kind of places where I needed to explain to the guards and inspectors what I was doing, why I was doing it, what exact tools I needed, and they would let me wait for however long it took them to decide if it was legit or tell me nope, not going to happen right now. Toolbelt would be inspected, sometimes not allowed. Metal detector, no phone, no anything. Walk into rooms with 100% blacked out monitors with everyone in there waiting for me to leave so they could resume operations. All while having guards with m4's supervising.

a few years ago my gf broke her key inside her U-shaped lock for her bycicle. THe bycicle was attached in a crowed public place (marché Jean-Talon , Montreal). i wen there with my grinder. It was a total mess, heavy grinding noise and sparks, but only one guy asked me "hey it is your bike ?" i just answered "yes, my key is broken inside". and then, without checking the lock, he actually HELPED me lol. by the time we finished, about 5-10 people were gathered, and they applauded when i released the bike. I left and laughed real hard internally, because really, I could have stolen it with people applauding me in the end. It's just like if you act like you own stuff, people believe you naturally.

This seems like one of the most interesting and fun lines of work I've ever heard of. I just can't imagine someone ever going to work thinking "ahh, just another boring day of circumventing security measures to get into a building"...

[@ChristnThms]

Funny thing... I don't, and never have worked security of any sort, but have employed several of these tricks. I work building maintenance, mostly for office buildings. You'd be surprised (or maybe not) how often people will lock themselves out of something, and request that I defeat their lock in order to get them in without calling a locksmith or similar professional. The irony, of course, is that they fail to grasp that if I can get in without a key, that anyone else can as well... The cognitive dissonance is strong.

[@Kyle-sr6jm]

Janitors and building maintenance. The lowest paid guys and with keys to nearly everything. I worked as a janitor, and there were keys they did not issue us, BUT there was a box that had all the keys for the building, and I had a key to that. Why? Because the office staff would lock themselves out, and SOMEBODY had to have a key to get the backups.

[@UndergroundHouseAndTechno]

A lock only performs the duty of keeping a determined person from entering. The issue is less about the lock, and more about why the person wants to enter. Have I missed a point?

[@ChristnThms]

@@UndergroundHouseAndTechno that's circular thinking. The existence of a lock, presupposes that there is something valuable to the owner to be protected. For every valuable thing, there is somebody that would take it. Thus, the existence of a lock is a sort of catalyst to the desire to bypass it. In fact, the existence of something like a wall safe hidden behind something addresses this head-on. The best lock isn't the strongest, but one that nobody knows exists. As soon as it is known, there is the motive to bypass it.

[@mathiso01]

You haven't been doing building maintenance for long. You never ever let people know you can "defeat" their lock unless you destroy it to enter. If there is any kind of entry without destroying the lock the first person they will blame is you. Regardless of how many keys or fobs they have given out. It's not worth your job or reputation. Remember in their eyes you are one step above the janitor. In other words you aren't shit to them. I don't care how much they smile in your face.

[@ChristnThms]

@@mathiso01 100% agree with the ending, but you have to know the conditions to know why it's worth doing. I don't need to go into details, but it is. Sometimes. Rarely.

Once past the guard house, I was able to go anywhere without being questioned. I never could do it, was always on a bit of a tight schedule so i had to drop off the delivery and zoom past the guard house to my next assignment. On a busy day, I could easily rake in $30-40 an hour but the boredom was too much. I would find myself sitting in my car, waiting for a text from headquarters to pick up an item for delivery. Funny thing is, you HAVE to be chummy with all the managers at all the restaurants in town and maybe the neighboring towns or else you'll have tough time sticking to your schedule.

I worked as a janitor at a big government contracting company. A huge government super secret contract, was to be demonstrated to some Generals, Admirals, Senators, etc. A secure room was erected, with plush carpeting, nice paneling, etc. Armed guards were posted at the 4 corners, two at the locked door. No one was allowed near the secret room. One of the other janitors said something about wonder what it is. I said grab a vacuum, I got a spray bottle and a bundle of paper towels. We walked up to the door with janitor tools and the freaking armed guard held the door open for us. We vacuumed and wiped as long as we wanted. We had just examined, up close and personal a new secret weapons system. Janitors and cleaning people are generally invisible to most people, especially if they are Black or Hispanic.

Hi-vis, steel caps, mostly empty tool bag and any kind of "visitor" or "contractor" badge will get you in most places short of true secure sites e.g. military bases. Local court buildings in country towns are amusingly relaxed about security, usually. :) I've done fair bit of live event work too.

When I was 19 to 20 years old I worked as an over night security guard in a hospital. I never wanted to be a cop, but I took the job because it allowed me to study. I had to get up from time to time and do a walk though just to make sure everything was secured, but most of the time I just sat at a desk. One night I was doing a walk through when O heard a knock. It was a youngish clean looking black guy wearing a white coat standing outside a locked door. During the day this door was used by hospital staff to go outside to take a smoke break. I assumed the guy was a doctor, perhaps a resident, working his first graveyard shift. He'd gone out for a smoke and din't know the door was locked. Now EVERYONE was meant to use the emergency room entrance at night. but the ER was way on the other side of the hospital. I should have told the guy to come in through the ER, but this would have caused him a long walk, so, not wanting to be an asshole I opened the the door to let the guy in, planing to just tell him to use the ER next time. Turns out he wasn't a doctor, or if he had been he was no longer practicing. Turns out he was homeless and quite badly out to lunch. The guy started telling me a bunch of crazy shit I can't even remember and I realized I'd made a huge mistake. Thank god the guy wasn't violent or I would really have been in trouble. It took some doing but I finally got him back out the door. If you want security, hire only assholes. There is no point to a security guard who just lets random homeless people in!

I worked at the company that made the GE sensor before it was sold to GE. It's called RGR or Range Gated RADAR (acronym on top of acronym? lol). A spin of a NASA patent or something that allowed us to dual-tech to increase pet immunity but most importantly the service providers would nail us for too many false trips (you'd think that was fine, but they hate spending money/resource when there's not really intruder or it's a pack of squirrels near the sensor or whatever) so we could bracket the humans on two vectors - it also makes a very defined field of view/detection, where you would get a trip off the pyros (that's where the differential comes from, a two element uh....element?) but need to discriminate better or you'll end up getting tripped not only like the random wildlife coming up on the sensor but by every semi that drives by the detector. Particularly white andor shiny ones. If your pulse length tuning somehow falls off sync or whatever you will still get trip, so there's also still the Hail Mary and if nothing else you'll see upon inspection that the unit needs R/R. I actually devised a method that allowed us to somewhat ballpark sensitivity and fields of detection footprint in a 75ft deep room by basically building a dolly that was transparent to IR and had slim enough bones to be invisible to the RGR then slapping some nice heat tape all over it to drag it around like a dog on a leash or something. Hell, you should have seen glassbreak detector testing. Talk about fixing a bad day at the office, while at the office, busting a ton of glass and beating on trash cans with golf clubs and baseball bats trying to get it to false trigger. So you'd say. :-) Log your test time and standard methods applied, and it's all good.

This mechanic was working on my truck and he took it home to spend more hours working on it. He got behind on his rent and the landlord evicted him and pad locked my truck in the garage. He (the landlord) demanded I pay the back rent to get my truck out. I went by the house and the garage had a padlock on it. I looked at it and thought. That padlock is so long I could use it to break the ring it is locked through (if that makes sense) and sure enough it snapped it in seconds. I opened the garage , started my truck and off I went. I even had the mechanics tools in the bed of the truck so I ended up getting his labor for free. It's amazing how little effort it is to get into anything with just a little thought into it. Also the part about acting like you belong. It's amazing , if you don't look nervous or panicked you can go anywhere. In fact that how I never had a break in on any machine at an arcade I worked.

We went to another meeting downstairs, and I left my backpack with my laptop upstairs behind a locked floor. I said I needed to get it and would be back shortly. Our rep for their company asked if I needed her to come with me, and I said I'll be alright. Sure enough, I went upstairs, lurked in the lobby, and just waited for the doors to be opened by someone else before entering the floor. It wasn't like I wasn't allowed in there, and I wasn't doing anything wrong either. I just needed to re-acquire my personal/work belongings from an area I was previously in. Just wanted to share how easy it is to blend in without people questioning you. Even if they noticed I wasn't a usual/employee, I still must be allowed in if I was able to gain access, right??

As a guy who works in security, it helps to have peripheral attention. One time I was walking away from my house down the sidewalk, and a man just walked into my house behind me. He was so confident that the only reason I noticed him was because I instinctively keep an eye out all around myself. Well, I ran back to my house and just walked in the door. I saw the guy standing there in the foyer and my whole family in the other room sitting there in their pajamas. I politely asked how I could help and he very nervously said, "Isn't this a flower shop?" When he said that, everyone in the house had their hair stand up because they had not noticed he was in the house, and he had been terrified of being accused of breaking and entering, so I guess he was frozen or something. Well, I told him it used to be a flower shop but we were converting it to a private home and I told him where the flower shop had moved to and so he left. My family came into the foyer with their eyes wider than cats eyes and I said, "from now on, this door stays locked at all times. Don't even check the mail without a house key." And that's what they did.

[@johnpetrov6602]

It takes a while to develop this skill. If you are good at focusing on what you are doing, you may not be very good at keeping a complete picture of your surroundings. Practice being sure at all times about every single access point that you are responsible for. If you were working a security desk and someone asked, "what is the status of the back door right now?" You should be able to rattle off an answer from a few seconds ago. You should be able to describe the security measures for that door. What sort of lock is it? Is it vulnerable? Is there a camera? Does the camera record or just monitor? Is the door secluded? Who has the key? Even when you are sleeping, you should have some way to be awoken if someone tampers with your shit. There are many effective ways of doing this. You could keep dogs or set up glass bottles or put wind chimes on door knobs. There are countless options. Never stop being 360 aware. Never play music. Never read a book. Never watch TV. Yeah, it sucks. "Who is in the building right now?" "Where is the accountant?" If a person who belongs in the building is in a room they don't belong in, you should know it, and you should find out why right away. If something strange happens anywhere you should file a report about it, even if your boss didn't tell you to. If you notice a lapse in security you should create a written memo about it. These are the sorts of skills that will get you a very good job in security. Any moron can wear a uniform and sit in a chair. You see all these common keys he's talking about? Well, did you know you can replace a lock on your own? You can just buy a lock to replace the existing lock and swap it out yourself. Boom. Now you own that lock. Did you know most security guards don't have most of the keys? The keys they do have are not labeled; they bunch 1000s of keys together and the keychain is useless. I have spoken to site managers who have no idea where the keys are for critical access points. That's absurd. ANYONE could have those keys, including the security guard you fired last week that I'm replacing. First thing you do on a job is take ownership of all the locks and I do mean ALL the locks. Nobody who just hired a security guard is going to be angry when you present them with an invoice for those expenses. You just do it. If you don't have the key to it, the lock needs to be replaced and new keys issued. If the boss is angry about that, you say you didn't have the key to it, therefore it wasn't secure. Have you ever walked into a bank and see 8 cameras behind the teller? Those are fake. Nobody installs redundant cameras. If the camera sticks out like a sore thumb, it's fake. If the camera is old, almost certainly it isn't working. Cameras wear out just like anything else. All cameras are fully zoomed out and almost none can be controlled remotely. I worked in a new prison with broken cameras and nobody fixes those. Even if you create a disturbance your face isn't likely to be recorded. Only the most expensive cameras are useful for active monitoring. Use your eyes and ears. Be a walking radar station. Another skill is to become good at faces. This isn't as difficult as you think. If you notice someone slightly suspicious make a mental note of his face. If you see him again, make another note. If you see him a third time, it's time to confront that guy. He says he's a groundskeeper, but you still demand an ID. He does present an ID, so you verify the picture. You'd be surprised how many security guards don't even check the picture; all they look for is a logo. You need to make sure 1) the ID is current, 2) the picture matches, 3) the employee is currently employed; call HR and verify the individual's employment status, 4) the name on the ID matches on a state ID, 5) the ID is not expired, 6) the employee belongs in that area, 7) the employee is actually supposed to be on-duty. It is your responsibility to verify all this information when you are new. And when the employee walks away make another mental note of his face. If you see him after hours you need to confront him again and find out why he's there. People from outside companies walk on site all the time just like the elevator guy he was talking about. Every single time you see someone from the outside, you run an ID check. You don't give the ID back until you can call that company and verify the employee by his number and also call management and verify that he should be in your building at that time. Everyone understands it is your job to do this. Anyone who gets uppity about it will just have to wait. "I've been coming here for 32 years everyone knows me." That's great. Stand right there until I verify this. The manager will show up and say, "Oh we know this person." That's great. I'm just verifying with his company also. They will laugh at you, but you just smile and keep checking. Even after you've seen a guy many times you should occasionally call his employer to check. A lot of people don't want to cause friction. Don't worry if you disrupt the flow of work a little at first. After a couple of weeks you learn the workflow and everything is running smoothly again. A place will hire a security guard without providing him with much information about schedules and workflows. You need to get this information and keep it current. If something happens on the site and you don't know what it is, you should find out what is happening, even if you think you will be embarrassed. "We're making paper. This is a paper mill." Okay, but YOU don't make paper, and you have no idea why things are done a certain way. You need to know why paper mill employees are in the mill area. You need to know who is managing the work. One exceptionally useful thing to do is to simply ask the manager if everyone there is supposed to be there. It's amazing how rarely this happens. If someone is there who doesn't belong the manager probably knows about it; there often is an intruder, and everyone knows about it except you; then you can confront the individual who doesn't belong and escort him away. Don't count on management to keep things secure. Make a round every hour and check every lock by LOOKING into the keyhole. Check for bits of broken metal and actually pull on the door to make sure it's locked. You will be amazed how often you find unlocked doors. Lock them immediately and keep locking them. Eventually you will be told to leave a certain door unlocked. This is where you refuse. Then management will say certain employees have to get in and out of certain doors quickly. Then you will ask why those employees don't have keys to those doors. They will say there aren't enough keys or nobody knows where the extra keys are. Then you will make copies of those keys and issue them to the employees who need them and send a memo about that to HR for the employees' files. Then keep locking that door. Check every hour. Because I'm telling you right now, word gets around that this or that door is always unlocked and then there is a break-in and then who is going to be held responsible? That's right. The guy they hired to check the locks. Keep the doors locked. When I worked in a prison the inmates called me "real police." When I walked into a cell pod with one other officer, the inmates would yell out, "Man in the block, times 2, REAL POLICE." It was my first security job and this was the worst insult the inmates could think of. I earned that name after two weeks because I would run my fingers under every crevasse and yank every padlock. The inmates assumed I had years of experience and noticed everything. In fact, I had no idea what I was doing and they could have pulled almost anything on me and gotten away with it. But because I put on airs when I walked into the block, gangsters would shout, "Tighten up! Real police!" They never missed an opportunity to hurl this insult. You can be two different kinds of security guard. Be the real kind.

Knew most of the guards and they knew me. One Friday night I was going on a long trip and need to take a bunch of my computer equipment with me. Went in to the building and signed their signing sheet, noticed the guard was someone that I had never seen before. Went to the mail room and got a hand cart, loaded up all of my computer equipment and get to the front door. Guard immediately gets up and holds the door open for me. I load the computers into my vehicle, carry the cart back to the mail room, sign out and leave. Not once did the guard ask me anything, no ID no questions about what I was taking.

Fast food place I worked at long ago had a big security flaw with the door that everyone knew about. This was the FRONT DOOR mind you. Basically it had a little slot for the mailman to stick mail in without opening the door, but the hole was big enough for one to stick their arm in and push on the bar to open the door, which would open it even when it was locked from the inside. One day someone mentioned it (mocking it) in front of the wrong person and the place got robbed that night. They was dumb af so they got caught though, and they sealed the little hole on the door afterward.

[@NigelTolley]

[@LethalConformity]

This is way less than a 1/4th of what a penetration tester does. These guys physically break into companies/corporations so they can get to the server room, and install their sniffers and other tools so they can infiltrate the network and test for other vulnerabilities. Another method is by social engineering their way into the network without ever stepping foot into the building or perimeter of the building. Another aspect is incident response and other things that usually end up being written into, what some would consider, a lengthy college final project report. This is in turn handed to the client's IT department to fix the vulnerabilities found by the pen tester. They are then hired again, some months later, to see if the company/corporation actually followed through with the implementation of the outlined solutions. So any doors, door locking mechanisms, that need to be replaced with a higher security standard; train employees to be more curious about people they do not recognize coming to a fro in the building; all maintenance people directed to the proper handling person (usually the security guard at the front desk or receptionist); etc.

[@sixstringedthing]

Getting into locked doors, windows and vehicles is never a huge problem, given time and a few basic tools. If all you want to do is get in, it usually takes about four seconds. And then about 45 minutes to clean up the mess. The clever part is not totally ruining whatever it is you're trying to break into. :)

Good security is a combination of Something you have (ID Badge), Something you know (PIN), and Something you are (biometrics) - and truly secure facilities use those three elements...

Being a commercial door tech, I understand all this guy is saying and even learned a few things. But from what I’ve seen in my 15 years of commercial door service is that occupants of a building don’t want to be inconvenienced, which is why sometimes they get outsiders trespassing. For example...and I have seen this a lot...there will be a particular door that the occupants will use to go outside to a break or smoking area but otherwise the door is always supposed to remain closed and locked electronically, where one uses a card that he presents to the card reader mounted on the exterior of the door and it unlocks. Well sometimes the door will start to sag after years of use and eventually not be able to consistently lock on its own, even after the door closer shuts it closed and then you have to slam it hard to get it to securely lock. Well...the people going on break love this! Now they don’t have to pull out their card to open the door. And so it goes on like this for a while...even for years from what I have seen. They don’t mention the flaw to building maintenance so they don’t have to be inconvenienced for those 10 more seconds of pulling out their card and presenting it to the reader. So when a gun yielding psychotic idiot walks in through that door, who will they blame?

@@ihatetrainyards4859 Most of the *Mediterranean countries (Italy and Portugal, where installation has been mandatory since 1975, Spain, Albania, Greece, Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia etc.), and also many South American* countries where Italian and Spaniard immigrants spread its use. While most *African, Middle Eastern and Asian countries* have only started using bidets lately, they have always considered anal hygiene to be important, and *mostly used a small basin (or used the bathtub) to wash their genitals and buttocks* after urinating and defecating. *Nordic countries, especially the Finnish, predominantly use a bidet shower;* basically a shower head installed right beside the toilet. And you should have heard about the *hi-tech toilets produced and used in Japan and South Korea*...which are slowly being adopted also by Americans, Canadians and the British (some of the most known, and few nations to only use toilet paper). I personally don't like these add-on bidet sprays; No matter how powerful the pressure, they are not capable of cleaning your anus properly. It's important to use liquid soap and your hand to rub your anus before rinsing... In Europe, we first use toilet paper to wipe out most of it, and then sit on the bidet to wash our buttocks. This makes things practical, but as long as you use enough soap and water, you don't need toilet paper. I realize you might be ignorant to how common bidets and other forms of anal hygiene are around the world. I have often criticized Americans for their lack of hygiene...and I cringe everytime I see characters in movies defecating and wearing their pants after only wiping once with toilet paper. I have to assume this is how most American do it, even though many women are careful about hygiene and I'm certain they have been washing their private parts for decades. It might seem strange to you, but bidets are important to maintain proper hygiene. If you always defecate in the morning and take a shower afterwards (and wash your buttocks in there), there's no problem...but all of us end up defecating in the afternoon or evening someday or the other. If you can afford it, I really recommend installing a bidet or bidet shower in your bathroom. Can't imagine having sex with a girl one day while your anus is covered in dried flakes of shit...it's disgusting. Sorry for the long comment. Hope you understand and consider my advice.
