Comment on A team paid to break into top-secret bases

Comments

Ok, so, assuming these facilities are indeed "top secret bases" that have armed security, military or otherwise, how do red teamers not get shot? Do they get right up to but not complete the intrusion? Do they inform security of the intrusion attempt and, if so, how do they defend against the hilarious possibility of actual baddies working at the same time?

These questions might have obvious answers. This isn't my line of work. I'm honestly interested in how they accommodate the need to (a) not kill the vendor and (b) still protect the facility.

in the last section of the article it says that they have a guy on the inside who gives the order not to shoot

Ah, thank you. Hurricane-addled mind missed that.
