Report (Permission Visit) Battersea Power Station and Underground Station, whilst under construction.

[The Ethical Thief]

I guess this is high stuff? But then, there are also some underground bits as well...

As a side hobby/business I practice and offer physical penetration testing to companies.

The below was a (somewhat) permission based visit to Battersea Power Station, as well as the new Underground Station during construction. Now that the construction is complete I am comfortable sharing these.

There is a collection of images here the upper floors of the power station, inside the superstructure while scaffolding was present, and in the underground station whilst under construction.

Enjoy

Nice to see it like this. What year were these taken? Oh and welcome to 28 dl. Good 1st report.

It was a really good site to explore, something stupid like 50 acres in total though I couldn't get around all of it. This was at least a year ago.

Must admit I'd never heard of physical penetration testing - google says it's definitely a thing though.
Could be a profitable sideline for some on here.

Definitely a thing, and sometimes great fun! But also 98% paperwork (research, intel, recon, report writing etc.), and 2% actual on-site work doing the fun stuff.

Physical pen, got to be the ultimate job for an urbexer especially combined with some offensive IT. There are surely others here but I'm sure they have to keep very low key about such things. Lovely pics in your report!

I appreciate that, thank you. I couldn't go full artistic for obvious reasons...

Nice to see what is going on.
Any idea what happened to the control rooms?

To my knowledge they are fully listed and so retained. I believe they have been turned into a bar or event space or some such. https://batterseapowerstation.co.uk...station-unveils-fully-restored-control-room-b

Must admit I'd never heard of... ...

This is not what I do for a living... but try reading "Unauthorized Access" Physical penetration testing for IT security teams by Wil Allsop. Or for partly historical reasons "The Art of Deception" by Kevin Mitnick although you'll be delving into serious computer nerd territory. Apologies for digressing the thread.

Bit different from when I came aboard 28DL, but hey, that's the world for ya !
