Lights, Camera... Break and enter.

Tunes

I remember once upon a time, smoking weed while listening to a CD a friend had. It was the first, maybe second track on the CD. The Prodigy, Music for the Jilted Generation.

The song was called "Break and Enter"

I've broken into about 5, 6... maybe 7 places easily. I've gotten caught none... well, I've never gotten caught in the act. Stupidity (and miscommunication) -- Once -- have I really gotten caught (days afterwards).

So I hope to pass down my information about breaking and entering buildings. What better place than a blog. So in no particular order.

Tools

I've found some good tools to have with myself really depends on what you are trying to do. Most of my stuff deal with computers. I've taken up the idea to spy on people too. So I've gotten a list of tools I find useful. Check it out.

1) A Camera

Aside from taking porno spy shots of the couple in the next room -- A camera is a very useful investment. I happen to have a Canon dSLR EOS 7D. So there are some more advantages with SLR camera, but even still, the most basic camera is very useful when breaking and entering buildings. Consider this.

A) Look around corners. I use my SLR, even thou it adds a bit of weight to my gear when I go busting in to look around corners. This is a sure fire way of seeing if there is any traffic nearby or what can be expected around walls, windows, doors and halls.. Its advantages come with draw backs. Consider:

1. Sound. Does the camera allow you to turn it on/off silently? What about taking pictures silently. (my SLR's shutter is a bit loud).
2. Light. As the case with an SLR, the light the camera produces is pretty much minimal. There is a red light that comes out the lens sometimes at night for auto focus. Some point and shot camera's may let you also take pictures with the LCD off. Or you can just block screen with something if its really bright. Sometimes light doesn't mean too much, as if your working in the day.
   
3. Flash. Yea, you may need to disable this. More advanced situations will dictate taking pictures in low light too. Buy a book.
4. Weight, Volume. All camera's have weight and take up space. The SLR is very heavy, and is very big. I only take that camera if its night, I can find away to carry it that isn't burdensome, or I really need it and not much else. a point and shoot is a good alternative too, as they can fit in your pocket. Stay away from camera phones.
   

What else can you do with a camera while breaking into a building, such as an office?

B) Pen and Paper. A camera is the perfect pen and paper. I find it useful to take pictures of computer screens for log-in data and other information that i would normally write down.

C) Time Machine. Chances are that when you enter a building, you want to leave the building in the same manner you found it in. In the course of your escapade, you will touch a lot of stuff: chairs, desks, doors... you'll probably even move dust around which normally just... collects... more dust. (This I must add is dangerous, as this can show the point of entry, or exit, let alone something happened.). So take a picture of it. This way, you have a perfect reference. Some people are pretty pedantic about their stuff on their desk, keep that in mind too.

A camera is just one tool i use frequently while breaking into buildings.

Back from the Dead

I once had hoped to have a blog, a useful one, but then i realised that you need to keep at it in order for it to be... well... useful to say the least.

So, I've taken the blog idea back, but this time I'm going to show my true self to the world. I hope to provide usefull advice about... well... You'll just have to see.
