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

cameras, planting bugs, and eavesdropping on security channels
