If you do have the experience, then based on your email they asked about Pen testing the physical security system. So, you need to focus on: Cameras - inside/outside. Can they be moved? blind spots? Who looks at them and how? (ie: all the time or just once in a while) Are they being written to tape? If someone is watching the camera - Can you call and distract them? How well are the cameras in the dark? (ie: outside - do they function well in the dark. Inside - if a few lights blew, will the camera still work) Gates - can someone move or climb them? Are the cameras trained on them. If there is a keypad on the gate- can someone read the numbers while a person is keying them in? (ie: you hide out of site with a camera/binoculars and read the numbers that someone is typing in) Are the gates tied in to anything? Ie: a computer records entry/exit ids and times. Guards - how many? Do they cover each other or is there a gap. Doors/elevator - secure floors or all floors open? Stairs - open to every floor or locked? Server room - secure or open...ect... Hubs/switches on floors - open/secure. Can anybody connect something to the hub/switch or do they have port security on? Anything wireless? -----Original Message----- From: scott [mailto:redhowlingwolves () bellsouth net] Sent: Monday, July 31, 2006 12:49 AM To: pen-test () securityfocus com Subject: pentest physical security Hi,all. Okay,I've been contacted about pentesting physical security system for a medium size company that is integrating IT & physical security,ie;cameras,id gates,etc. I'm not exactly sure where to start,other than the obvious;passwords,permissions,etc. Anyone have good ideas to help with this one?
