125: Jeremiah
Darknet Diaries
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.
