Lot of great info here. Glad to see someone talking about the real side of the career.. 5% B&E, 95% report writing.

Fortunately/Unfortunately the prices on redteamtools are really good...which sucks because when things are expensive you know for a fact you're not gonna find a better deal

Theres like zero work for this stuff. Many applicants chasing the same few jobs. I wouldnt buy anyones course.

"Most companies dont care enough about physical security." Yep. They rely on good people and do not become targets. The number of buildings a guy could walk into, jump on a computer, attach hardware, trash data rooms is crazy. Companies that still tape passwords to monitors or use simple words everyone would know. Even high security government buildings that will go unnamed. Ive wandered around everywhere, legally, and have never been challenged once if I belonged.

Its the report the customer is really paying for. 👍 Great video! That 0:00:20 time stamp cracks me up.

😱I finally get to see an example of industry standard assessments! ... 0:22- "Additional Inspection was paid to..." 😑 It's a 1st draft.

Very nice. Great explanation and also loved all the little funny tidbits along the way, especially the Executive Summary at the beginning. Nicely done! 👏😊

Very interesting and I'm glad that you identified that majority of pen testing is be able to make recommendations and write a report.

Love the near instantaneous shot of the word search for nepotism at 8.17.

Note to self, work on my report writing, and tool creation. Not like I don't have the time on my hands now that I've broken my knee the other day. Boredom I find often leads to innovation. Great video as always, very good information as expected. Hope everyone is staying safe.

Love your videos. They are practical.

Thanks for the video classmate!

This made a whole lot of sense. Thanks

I really enjoyed this video for reasons that are my own.

I'm so glad I subbed to you recently based on recommendation from Dev's Q&A. I've been googling everywhere looking for a roadmap in on the physical side and the info is just not easily found. At least not concisely laid out like this. This was the single most useful starting point I could have hoped for. (And I actually discovered Deviant through Lockpicking Lawyer 🙂)

How dare you call me out on watching deviants Wild West hacking fest, it so correct but still hurts lmao

I’m a locksmith in training and this will help me help others!

The act of getting into the industry is a pentest of it's own. Lots of social engineering if you will.

I weighed up death vs writing reports... I'm still thinking.

Great video with lots of great information!!

I like your humor!

A couple years later and this is very true. I'm in this physical security industry and I've never applied to a job..your reputation is your resume. And I do absolutely zero marketing.

I came here from the same video and I'm having deja vu here. When I was in the Army I had an interest in special operations but when I enlisted I was too young to go to selection (21). So I enlisted as regular infantry and decided after my first deployment I'd go to selection after gaining combat experience. During my first deployment we had a hold over in KAF to pick up some Stykers and drive them back to our COP. While waiting in the terminal I see this dude in a Hawaiian shirt, 5.11 pants, fightlite plate carrier, big ass beard, ak-47, you know the type. I started conversation saying "you look like you've got a much cooler job than mine" which led down the road of getting out of FORSCOM and into SOCOM. I had mentioned my interest in becoming an 18d (special forces medic) and was given some insight into the tiers of SOCOM. Now take this with a gain of salt and this is my interpretation of one man's opinion without him ever divulging his actual affiliation. Ranger battalion is generally filled with the strong infantry soldiers, special forces have a fraternity mentality, and CAG is where all the smart rangers go (play on words of if you won't be a smart rangers you'll be a strong ranger). Anyways, I was encouraged to go to Fort Bragg and seek out the special operations community there. Well half the base is home of special operations for the army but with some persistence you find out how to sign up for selection for CAG. I never ended up going as I was injured during a fast rope operation at my unit and received a medboard but where this ties into the video here is these groups are about who you know. I had expressed interest in going into CAG around other regular infantry soldiers (which is taboo) and despite the jokes you'd generally get heaps of myths or falsehoods about how to join. If I had not had that encounter with that one guy in a small airport terminal in southern Afghanistan I never would have known where to even start. I later found out 90% (generally) of CAG members where recruited from 1/75, 2/75, and 3/75 and more specifically from their scout sections. Also, if anyone from bat is reading why is 2/75 hated so much? Every ranger I've talked to hates 2/75 with a passion. Is it because they are in Washington? Anyways, if you aren't in the know it's hard but if you are dead set make it a point to bring it up in every conversation you have. Eventually you'll have a conversation with someone who is in industry or knows how to get into it.

Scream into the void until someone gives you a job.

Executive Covert Protection and Intelligence arent as interesting as TV makes them out to be, but having done those I can say its interesting enough. I figure Physical pen testing is the same, some hands on, but mostly marketing services and documentation. Still, I would like to work physical pen tester for a few years after I do this for a few years, then try my hand at cyber next just to experience the field.

Any feedback is appreciated... So I've worked in various construction for years, and as a hobby I enjoy very physical challenging activities (climbing, ultramarathon running etc.) The combination of my backgrounds basically make every place I see "enterable".... I kinda do it for fun....i.e. "how would I get in there?" And I never get stumped...I'm always in, and I can recognize roadblocks that would make a place unreasonable... I don't have any degrees....will that hold me back from actually attaining a steady career in this business?? If it isn't a reasonable career I just might have to prove others work as "insufficient" Edit*** After watching the complete video, I guess I gotta be a thief! Maybe I can take the 'Catch me if you can' approach and become so notorious I'll get a legit job...

I mean theres always the military as an option

If only the course prices were not so high...

I learned a new word today! 😂 🐰🥚

I'm almost to the end of Breaking Bad, how much penetration stuff is in BCS? That kinda gets me excited to start it right away

What I’m hearing is that all of us who wish we could be pen testers need to get out there and generate demand for more pen testers. Do some unsolicited pro bono work. Lol. To be clear, I’m kidding.

I wish I could get into this career but I'm screwed because while I'm perfect at locksports, eltronics, cutting keys from photos, and more. I got those skills when I was 15-20 and have burglary, possession of tools, car entry and more on my criminal record as I used to break into houses/shops and even stole motobikes by looking up the model numbers and cutting my own keys. While I'm retired from my criminal life at age 25 I'm basically banned for life from becoming a locksmith and jobs like physical pen tests don't exist in Australia. It pisses me off because I would be perfect for this.
