I should post as well how I’ve managed to get free (or discounted) things in person.

That'll be good to read. Physical SEing Is extremely effective when executed accordingly.

Permission granted, I demonstrated to one organization (unnamed for obvious reasons), how unauthorized access to a restricted building can easily be achieved. I researched the firm prior, by Identifying each external entry point , the timing of personnel entering/exiting, authentication (entry code In this case) and the attire of all employees.

On these grounds, I wore a suit & tie, carried a brief case, selected the most vulnerable entry point based on my research and arrived at the same time as per the start of business. I used the good old "tailgating" method (at the same time on my cell phone as though I was on a business call) and politely asked an employee to hold the door- due to my hands being full with the brief case In one hand, and the cell phone In the other. This justified why I could not physically enter a code (which I obviously did not have) at the time.

It was as simple as that. I documented the method and vulnerabilities, and they've since upped their security by training all staff and Implemented corrective measures to fend off future attacks.
