The first guide to planning and performing a physical penetration test on your computer's security

Most IT security teams concentrate on keeping networks and systems safe from attacks from the outside-but what if your attacker was on the inside? While nearly all IT teams perform a variety of network and application penetration testing procedures, an audit and test of the physical location has not been as prevalent. IT teams are now increasingly requesting physical penetration tests, but there is little available in terms of training. The goal of the test is to demonstrate any deficiencies in operating procedures concerning physical security.

Featuring a Foreword written by world-renowned hacker Kevin D. Mitnick and lead author of The Art of Intrusion and The Art of Deception, this book is the first guide to planning and performing a physical penetration test. Inside, IT security expert Wil Allsopp guides you through the entire process from gathering intelligence, getting inside, dealing with threats, staying hidden (often in plain sight), and getting access to networks and data.

Teaches IT security teams how to break into their own facility in order to defend against such attacks, which is often overlooked by IT security teams but is of critical importance
Deals with intelligence gathering, such as getting access building blueprints and satellite imagery, hacking security cameras, planting bugs, and eavesdropping on security channels
Includes safeguards for consultants paid to probe facilities unbeknown to staff
Covers preparing the report and presenting it to management

In order to defend data, you need to think like a thief-let Unauthorised Access show you how to get inside.

Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

In this book Wil Allsopp has created a thorough reference for those looking to advance into the area of physical penetration testing. The book also serves as a guidebook for in-house security managers seeking to institute better policy safeguards.” – From the Foreword, by Kevin Mitnick

Most IT security teams concentrate on keeping networks and systems safe from the outside – usually with the entire focus on firewalls, server configuration, application security, intrusion detection systems, and the like. But what if your attacker was on the inside? What if they were sitting at an employee’s computer, or placing a wireless access point hidden in a wiring closet or even roaming inside your server room?

Unauthorised Access provides the first guide to planning and performing physical penetration tests. Inside, IT security expert Wil Allsopp guides you through the entire process from gathering intelligence, getting inside, dealing with threats, staying hidden (often in plain sight) and getting access to networks and data. Learn to think like an attacker with topics that include:

Types of target vs level of anticipated response
Dealing with guards
Intelligence tradecraft, satellite imagery and in depth information gathering
Planting bugs and covert wireless access points
Hacking security cameras
Strategic, tactical and operational planning
Defeating locks, electronic keypads and other electronic access systems
Social engineering - the weakest link
Using your “Get Out of Jail Free” card
Complying with local laws
Attacking wireless networks

Excellent hard-to-find information

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2012

Verified Purchase

It's hard to find information like this anywhere else. The book is very organized, and is a good place to turn for security administrators and penetration testers alike.

A little of the information seems outdated however. I've been looking for the Icom IC-R3 described in the book, as it would provide very useful to my job. The only place I've seen it is Ebay, and I'd rather not buy things from Ebay. If anybody knows where to get one, please leave a comment. Thanks!

Good for Cyber Security professionals or wanna-be's

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2013

Verified Purchase

Wil brings to the table a very knowledgeable and down to earth approach on the needs for Cyber-security. He does NOT go in depth, but that is just fine, because he peeks your interest to learn more from other resources or gets you prepared to understand the basics of cyber-security. A good purchase; well worth the price.

I haven't finished the book yet but so far it's a great read. There are a lot of good pointers and tricks that even experienced physical pentesters might not have considered.

Good Book that Covers A Wide Range of Topcis

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2010

Verified Purchase

The book is definitely an interesting read to anyone interested in penetration testing or spy books. It covers a wide range of topics and is not boring to read. My favorite chapters were on wireless hacking and lock picking.

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2010

Verified Purchase

A good, solid intro to penetration testing. Obviously each aspect of penetration testing deserves its own separate book, but I won't penalize the book for that. I enjoyed it.

Very convenient and affordable. Love that I was able to purchase it electronically!

Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2011

This is a good book for coverage of physical security. My only complaint is that it is a bit thin on some subjects. I think that if it were made a bit longer, and had room to be more extensive, it would have been perfect.

Weston George

Great book. Very informative.

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2010

As the author notes several times throughout the book, this work is not exhaustive on any one subject. It does, however, provide a very nice overview of penetration testing as a whole. It covers several aspects that I wouldn't have thought of.

As a systems administrator, I bought this book to get some ideas about weak points in our network/physical security. After reading through some of the examples and case studies, I have made some changes that I think will go a long way in beefing up our security.

I would definitely recommend reading this book if you have any interest in IT/Physical security.

Dated, VERY dated but worth the 5$ I paid for it

This was written over a decade ago and a lot has changed. However, there is some great advice on mindset and social engineering that will never be outdated.
