Infiltrating your targets PART 1 Brakis_Lopex & Blue-Steele If you are taking part in a campaign targeting an individual or large company and you want to carry out your campaign over a long period of time then you will eventually need to either put the mark under surveillance or alternatively infiltrate it's business/circle of friends etc. For the first part of this series of articles on infiltration and surveillance we are going focus on infiltrating big companies. They're are several ways of getting inside a company some pleasant and some not so pleasant. One of those not so pleasant ones is getting out of bed at three in the morning, dawning some very old black clothes and then begin rummaging through your companies garbage. This can be very rewarding and you can usually find a lot of useful "crap" e.g. security manuals, old pay slips anything that gives you some kind of guide as to the companies operation. The above method is called "Trashing" this is not the kind of thing someone should do regularly (unless of course they are a complete Skank merchant like those in A-S who have bad personal hygiene and enjoy stripping off and playing in the rubbish "allegedly"). Just remember it is an arrestable offence because until the environmental services take it away it remains private property. One of the more sanitary ways of infiltrating a company is to maybe get summer job in the Admin department or something similar this will also allow you to commit a bit of pre-strike anarchy by just generally being a shit employee and pinching pens, or anything that you can think of to cause a bit of trouble (of course not enough to get you fired). For extended fun why not commit a bit of minor theft and implicate the fat loud mouth biggot who sweats too much. Many of these companies reward whistle blowing. This you give you at least two or three months to gather information in preparation for that major robbery, raid or supreme firebombing. One thing to remember when trying this approach is not to let other employees know about your real "mission", As I said before these companies heartily encourage whistle blowing. If your more interested in the computer system then this can be an absolutely excellent way of finding out about that however since most serious hacks are inside jobs and you have been entrusted with a password the you instantly come under the spotlight. The same applies to voice mail however I know people who have tried this type of infiltration for the sake of cracking Audix VMBs and been quite successful. The next method of infiltration of large company involves digging out that old suite and tie and getting a fake Id, Yes you guessed it, You pull a surprise inspection on them (A-S is shit) you pretend to be part of some kind of government commission set up to oversee some bollox, the amount of commissions and sub committees the British government has set up it shouldn't be hard to find something to impersonate, just use your imagination and try a bit of that Social Engineering I have been talking about for the last 22 months. Don't be afraid to have a bit of gumshen just believe in yourself and there is very little you can achieve, steal or deface. Another way of fucking with a company is the old mail interception. Sorry my hacker friends but I am not about to tell you some "733t" way of getting other people's E-mail I am actually about to tell you how to steal someone's letters and parcels, so hey guys your all good at what you do but get up from you terminals, get a bit of exercise and beat up your postman. Yes in seriousness attacking the postman's mail route is a great way of getting you hands on the mark's mail, This can involve stealing his mailbag/van or just mauling him or her with a baseball bat. If the company get's its mail before the staff arrive then your job is even easier. Just dress in black again and keep your face away from the security camera/guard then smash in the front door and nick their post. That brings up another point I should have perhaps mentioned. When you go on your initial spying run take a careful note of all the things that are in place e.g. security camera's night watchmen shifts etc. In my our opinion one of the easiest ways of infiltrating a company. Is teleconferencing most big cooperations will conf at some point so all you have to do is get details of conferences. This can be done in several ways Monitoring VMBs,mail,E-mail, and even chatting to employees when you happen to see them in the bar they all go to on a Friday night (you get them all pissed as farts and ask them whatever you need to know.) All you will need for the conference will be a profile number and a passcode and oc course the number of the conference bridge. For further details of teleconferencing and for a beginners guide see Brakis's other articles on the subject in earlier editions of SWAT. BRAKIS_LOPEX@HOTMAIL.COM BLUESTEELE@HUSHMAIL.COM
