Follow FC as he steals from the world's most secure banks and government facilities—without breaking a single law.

In How I Rob Banks: And Other Such Places, renowned ethical hacker and social engineer FC delivers a gripping and often hilarious discussion of his work: testing the limits of physical bank security by trying to "steal" money, data, and anything else he can get his hands on. In the book, you'll explore the secretive world of physical assessments and follow FC as he breaks into banks and secure government locations to identify security flaws and loopholes.

Social engineering is the manipulation of people and situations to gain access or information that otherwise is not available to you. Social engineering can sometimes be used to bypass physical security - mechanisms in place to prevent access by unauthorized people - but not always. Organizations pay me to test their security. I use a combination of social engineering and physical attacks to do so. The security I test might be the locks on their doors, the security guards and receptionists, or their computer networks. Most often, it’s all of those and much more, as you’ll discover as you read about how I break into banks. In my role as a security professional, I use psychology, body language, charm, flirtation, lock picks, and other tools to break in. Before all that comes a lot of preparation and paperwork. Social engineering has a long history, albeit usually by another name - scams. The best-known historical piece of social engineering is the Trojan Horse.

The author explains how banks and other secure facilities operate, both digitally and physically, and shows you the tools and techniques he uses to gain access to some of the world's most locked-down buildings. You'll also find:

• Strategies you can implement immediately to better secure your own company, home, and data against malicious actors
• Detailed photos, maps, and drawings to bring to life the unbelievable true stories contained inside
• An inside and candid look at a rarely examined industry through the eyes of one of its most respected penetration testers

A can't-miss account of real-life security exploits perfect for infosec pros, including red and blue teamers, pentesters, CIOs, CISSPs, and social engineers, How I Rob Banks also belongs in the hands of anyone who loves a great Ocean's 11-style story pulled straight from the real world.
