Let's try to rob a bank.
Over the next few modules,
I am going to walk you through the engagement
process starting with reconnaissance.
Before you begin any engagement, reconnaissance is vital.
Very few times have I performed an engagement without spending at least
one day performing recon work against the target.
Abraham Lincoln is often wrongly quoted as saying that if he
was given 5 minutes to chop down a tree,
he would spend the first 3 minutes sharpening his ax.
The advice may not be his, but the core of it is still sound.
Remember the 5 P's, proper preparation prevents poor performance.
I suggest you do the same with your engagements.
The more recon you do, the better your results will be.
Let's look at some of the security measures you may
encounter and work our way through some of the flaws that
you could potentially take advantage of.
