How to Infiltrate ANY Secure Building

About this video

A guest on the Mike Drop Podcast describes his experience infiltrating secure buildings and tracking targets. He claims that no facility was impenetrable and that simple social engineering tactics—such as dressing professionally, carrying coffee, and pretending to be on an important phone call—allowed people to open doors for him. He explains how he would hide in stairwells until cleaning crews arrived at night, then take control of buildings, and recounts placing tracking devices on vehicles and even in a suspect’s shoe.
