  • Profiling environments: identifying entry/egress points, surveillance, and security measures.
  • Reading body language and crowd dynamics.
  • Techniques for blending in and "becoming the gray man."
  • Basic lock-picking and physical access control bypasses.
  • On-site information gathering without digital assistance.
