Black Teaming Methodology (BTM)

A practical methodology for physical penetration testing aka. Black Team operations.

What Is Black Teaming?

Black Teaming is authorized adversary simulation focused on physical access, human behavior, and real-world security controls. It tests how an attacker can move from reconnaissance to entry, access expansion, persistence, and reporting by exploiting the way buildings, people, routines, and technology actually work together.

It sits close to physical red teaming and physical penetration testing, but it benefits from a clearer end-to-end method than either term usually gets in practice.

The seven phases of Black Teaming.

From reconnaissance to final report.

  1. Reconnaissance
  2. Planning
  3. Initial Access
  4. Expand Access
  5. Persistent Access
  6. Exit
  7. Reporting
