Think about the distance factor. Sure, you could get good radio stuff set up so that you don't have to be in the parking lot to break in and can avoid appearing suspicious on any surveillance cameras, but you still have to be within a few kilometers at most. With warshipping you can be across the planet.

Having done a handful of red teams our last concern was security cameras since most times no one looks at security footage until they’re already compromised.

Yeah but 'APTs' are generally shitty low end numbers-game attacks that target HR with terrible macro based malware to breach company perimeters.

Unless you're emulating nation state actors, your ideology of a 'red team' which focuses on physical access is a disservice to your client and your industry.

Red teams have less to worry about than actual hackers if they are identified post-facto on security footage.
