Hiding isn't an option when people are walking their dogs at 1 AM! We decided source engineering was a better bet, but one more day of observation could have revealed an even better opportunity. #Bsidesfrankfurt #Bsides #Bsidesfra

That would make it super hard to hide in case you were detected by anybody. And you would you would be thinking to yourself, just go there at night. Nobody's there. Nobody will see you. Maybe via CCTV, but hey, no, I kid you not. There were people walking the dogs even as late as 1:00 a.m. at night. Crazy. I don't know why, but people did that. So, okay. Um, hiding not an option. Maybe that's not a very good idea. Um, in summary, so we together with the white team decided, hey, let's not do that. It's a terrible idea. is maybe go with source engineering but we don't have a good story or pretext to use for that. And then they said okay

you only had one day for observation which is very very short amount of time. If you had had one more day you would have found that every other day there's an external cleaning staff coming to the facility to clean. So maybe you can impersonate them. We taught him how, you know, sounds like a super easy pretext.
