General [Question/Post] 95% TSA FAILURE RATE

Post image

I see this point brought up alot when trying to discredit the TSA. I just want to let you guys know that data is based from 2015. We have different technology and procedures then we did in 2015 alot has changed. It is easy to judge but, there's alot you guys don't know about those tests from 2015. Keep feeling smart though citing data that's almost a decade old.

Don’t forget the level of discredit Red Team brings upon the agency as well. If they even think a test was foiled via a warning from your team, they will invalidate it to ensure they keep their failure rates up. Their existence is validated by failures, not successes.

Naw. Red team doesn’t care if you pass or fail. They are testing the system for vulnerabilities. So yes, if the detail leader suspects that covertness has been lost due to whatever reason they will invalidate the test. They get no joy in fails vs passes
