## Abstract

Security testing has been a career path that many are beginning to take. In doing so, security testing can hit the realms of many different types of engagements, ranging from web, infrastructure and social engineering. With the risk of sabotage, corporate espionage it has been seen that many organisations are beginning to develop a tactical capability. In doing so, the term 'Red Team' has been coined to market such engagements. Red Teaming is the method of having almost free reign towards a target. By doing such an engagement a target will be able to fully understand the breadth of vulnerabilities facing their organisation. However, Red Teaming can be an expensive and resource intensive task. Through this paper, it is discussed that it is possible to make a covert disposable phone to help aide Red Teamer's with the reconnaissance phase without drawing attention to themselves within a day to day task.
