Book description
The first guide to planning and performing a physical penetration
test on your computer's security
Most IT security teams concentrate on keeping networks and systems
safe from attacks from the outside-but what if your attacker was on
the inside? While nearly all IT teams perform a variety of network and
application penetration testing procedures, an audit and test of the
physical location has not been as prevalent. IT teams are now
increasingly requesting physical penetration tests, but there is
little available in terms of training. The goal of the test is to
demonstrate any deficiencies in operating procedures concerning
physical security.
Featuring a Foreword written by world-renowned hacker Kevin D.
Mitnick and lead author of The Art of Intrusion and The Art
of Deception, this book is the first guide to planning and
performing a physical penetration test. Inside, IT security expert Wil
Allsopp guides you through the entire process from gathering
intelligence, getting inside, dealing with threats, staying hidden
(often in plain sight), and getting access to networks and data.
- Teaches IT security teams how to break into their own facility
in order to defend against such attacks, which is often overlooked
by IT security teams but is of critical importance
- Deals with intelligence gathering, such as getting access
building blueprints and satellite imagery, hacking security
cameras, planting bugs, and eavesdropping on security channels
- Includes safeguards for consultants paid to probe facilities
unbeknown to staff
- Covers preparing the report and presenting it to management
In order to defend data, you need to think like a thief-let
Unauthorised Access show you how to get inside.
