In person?
Yup. This is pretty damn important. You can do quite a bit over a phone or through mail, but sometimes you just have to get off your ass and do things yourself. Getting a password digging through a desk is good, so is touring an office and just looking around. Even conning your way into a terminal works. 5.2 Equipment This is the only time in hacker culture where looks matter a great deal. Don’t expect to walk into VIACOM’s offices wearing your Misfits T-shirt with lotsa zits and your walkman makes you look suspicious. Look dignified. Wear a suit. Comb your hair. Don’t get out of hand. Be polite. If you want to look like you belong in that office, you should act that way, too. So you need a suit. If you weigh more than 200 lbs (and are under 6′ 2″) or look like you’re 20 or younger, don’t try this. You’ll look dumb, be laughed at and possibly have security called on you. You can look like an office worker’s kid if you’re that young. If you can do this, go ahead. Most of us can’t. Fake
