Bryan Wendt
Welcome to my personal site and knowledge base. Here I document deep dives into physical security mechanisms, bypass methodologies, hardware tooling, cybersecurity certifications, and hands-on walkthroughs.
Explore the Work
Dedicated resources built to organize practical physical security knowledge and technical security writeups.
Physical Red Team Wiki
A centralized repository for physical security topics. Covers locks, bypass techniques, hardware tools, electronic access systems, and real-world engagement obstacles.
- Identification & Recon: Recognizing cylinders, keyways, and hardware profiles.
- Bypass Techniques: Latch slips, under-door tools, REX sensor triggers, and shimming methods.
- Obstacles & Hardware: Turnstiles, fences, crash bars, magnetic locks, and strikes.
Security & Tech Blog
In-depth articles detailing cybersecurity certifications, hands-on CTF walkthroughs, custom scripts, tool breakdowns, and reflections from continuous learning.
- Certifications: Honest reviews and prep notes for eJPT, Practical Ethical Hacking (PEH), and more.
- CTFs & Walkthroughs: Detailed breakdowns of TryHackMe machines (Pickle Rick, Alfred, Steel Mountain, etc.).
- Personal Projects: Tool evaluations, note-taking strategies, and security workflows.
About Bryan Wendt (BW)
I am a security professional with a specialized passion for physical security, penetration testing, and understanding how physical mechanisms can be manipulated and bypassed.
Physical security knowledge is often scattered across obscure blog posts, conference recordings, and specialized forums. I created this platform to consolidate structured, practical research in one location while sharing my ongoing learning journey.
