Okay. Okay, so there's a motion sensor. If Deviant can trigger that, it'll unlock the door. But it's a good 10 feet inside the door. So how? How?

A Dropbox in this case is a little computer that you can just plug in and leave behind and then try to access it from somewhere far away, like back at the hotel. But this guy forgot it. I guess he was configuring it the night before and just forgot to repack it. And it's back at the hotel. He said, well, go back.

Two hours go by. Deviant keeps messaging the guy, what's going on? He says he had to finish setting up the Dropbox, but he couldn't get the keyboard to work to configure it. So he was trying to use the on-screen keyboard and use a mouse to type out every command, and it was just taking a super long time. So Deviant continues to just sit and wait.

There are three things to test when testing a company's security. You can test the physical building itself, you can test the people in the building, and you can test the electronics.

I mean, here he tricked a guard into making him think he worked for the elevator company, but he also gave the guard many opportunities to check his credentials or verify who he is. Gosh, even if just the guard decided to give him a visitor's pass and took their names down, that would be better than nothing, right? So there were lots of training opportunities for this guard.

But bad guys don't really have these moral codes. They might wrestle the guard to the ground, tie him up in the elevator, or break some windows to get in. I mean, it's possible to figure out where the owner of the company lives and kidnap their kids, holding them for ransom for some company data.
