ANECDOTE

Unsecured Building Access

Summary: During a penetration test, Jeremiah and BC attempted to enter a supposedly secure building. While initially unable to find an open door, they eventually discovered an unlocked back stairwell door due to a likely implementation flaw, allowing them access to all floors. They documented their findings with photos, expecting locked stairwell doors on each level, but were surprised to find the second-floor door also unlocked. Insights:

  • Physical security flaws can be as critical as digital vulnerabilities.
  • Persistence is key in penetration testing; initial failures shouldn't deter further exploration.
  • Seemingly minor implementation errors can have significant security implications. Proper Nouns:
  • Jeremiah Roe: Penetration tester assessing building security.
  • BC: Fellow penetration tester working with Jeremiah.

Research

  • What are common physical security vulnerabilities in office buildings?
  • How can implementation flaws in door hardware be mitigated?
  • What are best practices for penetration testing physical security?
