Physical Red Team Operations: Physical Penetration Testing with the REDTEAMOPSEC Methodology

My pet peeve has long been the lack of understanding for integrating proper physical security analysis into InfoSec! What good is layered security if you can open the server room door with a credit card or the front door motion detector with a file folder? How difficult is it to hack a network from the inside?I sure hope you spur some serious corporate physical security pen testing!Last, but not least, I am in absolute, total awe of how you distilled Covert Entry trade craft into a few handy, very usable templates! -that you tie so very nicely in with standard offensive security and NIST elements.THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

This is a decent overview of physical red team ops (for consultants).Biggest missing element is more coverage for managers or buyers on why a red team physical assessment is worthwhile, how to evaluate vendors, etc. This is much more presented to consultants themselves, a far more limited market than buyers. For consultants, more background on recruiting and commercial practices (insurance, billing, general terms, reassessments, etc) would be useful too.I’m generally against the ninja/paramilitary angle taken by many in the commercial security world, but physical pentests is one area where it is somewhat relevant (still, room clearing, etc don’t really need to be in this). 95% of pentests are very simple and almost all of the recon and prep can be done surreptitiously or via pretexted presence (show up as a delivery guy and look at the door, rather than delta-lite climb over razor wire fences), and even the parts where covert movement is needed tend to be better achieved while retaining plausible legitimate presence vs. being a walking 5.11 store...There aren’t a lot of good books on physical security assessment at all (usually very dry standards documents which are simultaneously overly specific on certain details and over general on others), let alone red teaming, so this one is still worth consideration, but there could definitely be something better.

Jeremiah Talamantes has written another great book. It's easy to read and he provides many great resources. I recommend his first book as well... Social Engineer's Playbook...

Well written and thoughtful approach to providing cutting-edge information on Physical Red-Teaming.The author has spent his life dedicated to this field and his careful analysis and thoughtful reader-oriented approach makes this text an essential tool for anyone interested in this newly emerging field. If you are thinking about getting into this field or already find yourself apart of it, this book will prove an incredible resource. Five Stars.

Honestly, I am having trouble getting through this book and taking it seriously. The author does not appear to be prior military or law enforcement but covers the subject of room clearing. This is a private sector physical penetration testing book, you are not clearing any rooms. I'll leave it at that.

Nothing but a bunch of professional LARPers writing out their Special Forces fantasies.

What I like about this guide is that it's grounded in REAL experience, not theory. All of the information can be directly applied to planning and conducting a red team operation. It's written by a true expert in the field. A must for ethical hackers and offensive security pro's!

Read the book almost twice, there are some unique ideas that are really detailed in a great way. But that is only 10% of the book :( The rest just seems like filler.

The material is mostly okay, although some of it is just silly. If you don't know the low crawl, why are you reading this book?Biggest criticism is that they've used "full justification" (rather than left-justified) and it looks like crap in places.

Sehr gut!

this is a joke.Not worth the money and especially the time of reading it.

In this book you can not find any education items it is title

basics, shallow, little details, many references to web sites instead of details etc
