Physical Location

  • Using the address a customer gave us for a physical pentest mandate, we can enter it in google map and have a look at the sattelite view and street:

    • Does it have any protection

    • Where to park without looking suspicious

    • Is the entree guarded

    • Is there a smoke area (useful for social engineering)

    • Could you tailgate your way in?

Identifying Geographical Locations

Let's say we have an image

  • If there is a car:

    • where is it parked,

    • what brand is it,

    • What info get we get from the license plate,

  • How is the weather

    • Is it snowing?

  • Architecture around

  • Street signs
