Robert and I looked like construction workers. I mentioned there was construction ongoing at the facility. So we had our sort of jeans and steel cap boots. We had some high vis. We had, you know, the helmets kind of clipped to our belts. If you want to throw a helmet on, you can. And we had tools. We had workers tools on us and more in the trunk too.

So we just kind of walked around the building and started, quote, checking doors. You know, checking the handle. Is this door really locked? But also there's a little door gap checker. It's used when I do fire door stuff. There are tolerances. This is a quarter inch, eighth inch. How much tolerance is this door? You can check it. The door jams in the top of the door and the bottom of the door.

So we're just, quote, checking doors and pretending to take notes on a tablet. And we're going around and seeing if anybody left the door open or could we tailgate in. And eventually we did. We tailgated in. We walked through some spaces. And between us and another team was able to exploit a similar path. Now that we know, we're like, well, Sophie got in. Maybe Drew can do it.

Drew's not quite as charming as Sophie, but Drew can drive through a checkpoint.

Shocking how once we got past that fence line, we started realizing that no one really challenged us.

We said, let's just try to be sloppy. Let's just try to like, hey, buddy, hold that door. And, you know, don't be polite about it. And we're like, man, we just keep getting in everywhere. And we kept getting into so many sensitive rooms. We're messaging our contacts and we're saying, hey, we're in here today. You want us to try the thirdware? You want us to try this generation building?

Okay, try to get in that building. And we're really not getting challenged. So by the end of the week, you're like, we really want to give you some wins here. Do you want us to just start doing stupid shit? Trying to see what level of noise it would take to make the employees at the customer site say, hey, that's not right. I should report this to security. And we were setting off...

alerts and alarms at that point. We were propping doors open with doorstops that you're not supposed to do. And if it's held for more than 30 seconds, then a guard has to come out and go, why is there a doorstop here?

At this point, we had literally caused headache on the part of the guards because we had been putting doorstops in and holding doors open and just really kind of, they were like, what's going on? Why are the employees being such a pain these last 24 hours? This day, At one point, I think I took caution tape and I propped the door open and put caution tape all around the door.

And like, do we take the tape off? Do we not? What are they working on? I put a work order on it that's, you know, because we'd seen other work orders in maintenance areas. An exit door? No, this is an internal door to a sensitive machine room. And the guards were like, do we... And they had to escalate to a supervisor and say, no, take the tape down and we'll figure out who left that there later.
