In this lecture, I introduce Physical Red Teaming, Physical Penetration Testing, and some important terms needed throughout this course.

Critical to this module, the others, and the rest of this course, I summarize the 12-step Physical Red Team methodology I created called the REDTEAMOPSEC Methodology.

The Rules of Engagement are essential to Physical Red Teaming. In this lecture, I talk about what aspects make up the rules of engagement and they affect the function of an operation's success.

The purpose of this downloadable document is to tease out information from the client in order to develop a solid understanding of your client’s needs and to support an accurate Scope, Rules of Engagement, and Red Team Operational Plan.

How should you structure your red team operation? In this lecture, I lay out some high-level points about planning your physical red team operation.

Diving deep into a successful operation involves logistics, covert reconnaissance plans, and so much more. Welcome to the Planning phase of physical penetration testing.

In this lecture, I introduce three (3) critical paths to successful recon, Contact--Conceal--Capture.

Execute long-range recon using a multitude of tools and techniques. In this video, I introduce advanced searching, social media, and other sources of data to aid in your operation.

Google Dorks is an often overlooked method for mining open-source intel. This download will help kickoff any engagement.

Short-range recon, aka boots on the ground, is key to the success of an operation. In this lecture, I go in-depth into strategies for getting valuable recon in the physical presence of your target.

A small but important detail, choosing the right rally point will ensure your team makes a smooth and clean exit.

In this lecture, I give some examples of how to properly deploy the team in an operation.

In this video, I will discuss important considerations when approaching the target. Cars, other buildings, people, traffic, and so much more.

Once physical access has been made, what important pieces of information should you acquire? You must be prepared for this step in order to be successful in your information-gathering efforts.

Make a clean and smooth exit. Your information-gathering efforts should not alarm your target or anyone nearby. I cover how this is done in this lecture.

Once the information gathering phase is complete, this lecture deals with how to prepare you and your team to review the intel. There are a few tips and tricks to making this a smooth process.

So how do you find vulnerabilities? How do you determine if they are exploitable? Is this something you should test? Is it important enough to be tested? I answer all these questions and more.

By now, you probably have an idea of how many vulnerabilities there might be. It's now time to plan your team, engagement details, and other necessary specifics of executing the engagement.

It's time to put it all together. How are you planning on carrying out this engagement? In this lecture, we produce one of the most important deliverables, The Operational Plan.

After this lecture, you will be able to select a staging site for you and your team to set up and prepare for your operation.

You will learn how to select an ideal deployment site for your team. This is critical to a successful kickoff.

By the end of this lecture, you will be able to select a rallying point once your operation is finished.

This is a sample of a basic Authorization Letter (Get Out of Jail Free Card) to use during engagements. It is recommended that it be modified to include additional language to support its validity.

The Rules of Engagement are a set of rules that determine how a red team operation will be conducted. It is very important to obey these instructions.

By the end of this lecture, you will know what equipment is ideal for red teaming and examples of how to use it.

Any time before going into the field is it important to make sure all equipment is in operational order. This may be one of the last times to ensure it is.

Communication, by phone or radio, is essential and in this lecture, I show you how to prepare your team over each of these mediums.

Things can go sideways quickly if team deployment isn't done right. By the end of this lecture, you will have a solid approach to going into the field the right way.

Has the environment changed since recon was last performed? Red teamers must assess the environment for any additional security controls now present.

Depending upon how much time has passed since recon was performed, there could be additional security controls. At this point, you must decide how to respond. Will you acclimate to that new security control? How does this change the plan of attack?

In this lecture, I discuss preparation for team mobility through various weather conditions and terrains.

Where are your targets located? Urban, rural, or somewhere in between? You need to be aware of the nuances of navigation and operating your team in these settlements.

In this lecture, I discuss strategies for maintaining a level of situational awareness during this critical phase of the engagement.

Cover vs concealment. I go over techniques for adapting to your surroundings by leveraging the cover of the landscape or buildings.

How should your team make their way to the target? This will change drastically from environment to environment, settlement to settlement. Is there a significant distance?

In certain environments, it makes sense to leverage signaling. In this lecture, I give some tips for signaling your team in the event you need to use these techniques.

Underground sensors are used by some medium to high-security organizations. In this lecture, I cover how to detect and by pass ground sensors.

Fences come in many shapes and sizes. They are designed as a deterrent but can almost always be bypassed. I cover how to identify how to bypass the different types of security fencing in this lecture.

Motion sensors are used in just about every environment from commercial to residential. In this lecture, I show how to defeat motion sensors in the commercial space.

This lecture covers bypassing doors by using Under-the-Door-Tool and other door bypass tools. I also introduce basic lock picking skills and in which situations they are ideal to use.
