Add a bald head with a barcode on the back and you don't even need charisma.

The homing briefcase will forever be one of my favorite if not my absolute favorite bugs. Especially as it was later embraced as a feature.

Former security guard on a variety of different kinds of posts. This is 100% accurate for anywhere that doesn't require ID or a scanner card or some shit.

[-] Inktvip@lemm.ee 19 points 2 months ago

Even if you need Id/scanner. If the check is at the elevator on the ground floor it may often as well not exist.

[-] Terrapinjoe@lemmy.world 72 points 2 months ago

Also works for inside locations if you are carrying a large bag of food or several pizza boxes. I've snuck into some concerts with the pizza box method.

[-] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

I got backstage access at a U2 concert pretending to be delivering potatoes.

[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 months ago

Damn, free concert and pizza??? Talk about two in one deal

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 8 points 2 months ago

I mean, they probably still bought the pizza. I don't think they made it from scratch and then put it in an old pizza box...

[-] Entropywins@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

No they put on a high vis vest walked into a pizza place, grabbed pizza and was off to next target

[-] Dabundis@lemmy.world 71 points 2 months ago

add a hard hat and you're in

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 74 points 2 months ago

Carry a ladder, security will open gates for you.

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 57 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

And act like you ain't got time for anyone's shit.

I've worked events, and carrying a 6' ladder with hi vis and a dome shell while grumbling is instant access wherever you need to go. Just make sure to not stop and look around cause your cover will be blown.

I was an internet cable installer in Tulsa. Gated communities and apartments everywhere. Out of 1,000+ visits, only got hassled once.

So on most sites, black i s reserved for management. Management goes where they want but also come up randomly from head office so no one questions that they haven't seen you before.

[-] gencha@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

Could be a local thing. Haven't seen black helmets much here. Good to know

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 56 points 2 months ago

As someone who has experienced this phenomenon first hand: being white helps.

[-] GluWu@lemm.ee 49 points 2 months ago

I've had a surprising amount of success just walking in/past security.

[-] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 40 points 2 months ago

I feel walking up, talking on the phone, sounding pissed while flipping through the pages alone would open a lot of doors. Don't need to be too charismatic when you look like some tiny bullshit away from crimes against humanity.

[-] adespoton@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 months ago

Except for places with access cards and pin pads. You need to have both hands fully occupied and some sort of a clipped on badge for those.

[-] janAkali@lemmy.one 22 points 2 months ago

Then you just wait until somebody enters in.
When the person opens the door you run to them and yell "wait wait wait" while frantically gesturing. After you enter - say quick "thank you" and disappear.

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 29 points 2 months ago

It's all about projecting confidence that you are the person in control. Don't even need the right clothes or a clipboard. Some of my favorite scenes from the Beverly Hills Cop movies is when Axel does this kind of thing. Catch people by surprise, flash an ID without showing it, look pissed. "Is that your Porsche outside???"

[-] tombruzzo@lemm.ee 24 points 2 months ago

This is just a screenshot from Hitman 2

[-] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

Most restrictive areas you can walk in completely nude with A four story tall T-rex and no body would notice.

Or more accurately no body would care because it’s not there job to care

My point is, most of our restrictions in life are our own making and when we allow ourselves to succeed not even the angels can stop us, or some other bs self help saying

The most charismatic man I know is my uncle, he worked right near the WTC on 9/11 and even though they closed his bridge home because it was 9/11 he sweet talked his way across.

[-] EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 2 months ago

The same aspect of psychology is why so many borderline illiterate scammers are as successful as they are.

Just be pushy and act like "the official person" and most people won't bother asking questions.

"Just asking questions!" "do your own research!" it's bad to look into things now.

[-] Terrapinjoe@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

I worked at a pizza delivery shop at the time and just used empty pizza boxes

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

You can also use Wisdom for knowledge checks to blend in!

[-] Cyberkillen@infosec.pub 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Unless you find an automation expert, who's been encabulating at an alarming rate for their entire career as a PLC snakes and ladder logic engineer.

[-] einlander@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Act like you belong.

Keeping a few lightly- to moderately-used/scuffed common hard hat brands in your trunk will go a ways to helping you sell the bit too

[-] sawdustprophet@midwest.social 6 points 2 months ago
[-] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Amazon vest works too.

[-] ReiRose@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Pratchett talks about this in "Moving Pictures". He has many insights, 100% would recommend. GNU sir Terry
