Night Ops

Ok guys, might as well get this over with sooner rather then later. There is in fact a technique for opping in snowy environments without leaving a single footprint, but it's something of a site "secret". I'll talk it over with some of the veterans here, and see if everyone is ok with sharing. Keep...

I did Ninpo for about a year. At the time I was annoyed about how we spent more time learning to bow in different ways than how to fight someone. Now when I think back on it, it was prety useful. I taught me how to roll properly in different directions, how to dodge a sword and generally increased m...

A problem I'm facing in Winter is that the frost makes the grass really crunchy to step on. Everything seems much stiller and queiter in winterm so the crunching can often make more noise than I would want.

Alright guys, winter time has come. Let's see some winter nop gear!

-What's your winter tactic?
-How snowy is it in your region, will you dress in a different colour to adapt?
-What challenges will you need to prepare for with gear?

forgot that death grips had more than just exmilitary out, was reminded today, it is interesting Death Grips really deserve to be checked out. I didn't like their first album, lacked the raw anger I loved in Exmilitary but after a while it grew on me. I love it now. As for their second album, NLDW,...

Do car alarms go off if you try to open the door? My parents' cars don't but I just want to make sure.

Great new look. It also feels easier on the eyes. It might be just me but I felt that the "green on black" really tired out my eyes.

I apologise for any offense caused.

Sorry for expressing my opinion, Roxas. I'm sure Nukes is very glad you stood up for him.

Mission Impossible soundtrack. It makes crawling around someone else's garden sound much more awesome.

Is this a more philosophical and general view on the topic "Casual Clothes VS BDUs" or am I misunderstanding?

Aw....hell.....naw. Is there something wrong in what I said? The main purpose of night ops as defined in the original night ops thread on Totse is to go into a place, look around or do whatever and leave again without anyone knowing you were there. If you're planning your night ops expecting to be ...

Welcome! It's nice to see the site getting more active. This also means I'm no longer the newest member

No.

Opping after work in your work clothes FTW That's good in the sense that if you are caught, you can say you were just taking a midnight walk. However, that goes against the spirirt of night ops (You must not be seen). Also, you may find yourself crawling around while opping, which willl get your wo...

Thanks, Æternaeon. That's a good explanation. If only there was some way of opening a circuit while making the control panel believe the circuit is still closed... I'm showing my ignorance here but if you had time at day to turn the alarm off and switch the wires leading to the windows to a small c...

You didn't just win Corrupt a Wish. you just won the internet.

You don't carry a whistle on you at all times? Hey everyone, get a load of this guy!

Go on Zoklet's bad ideas forum and check the archived threads. Plenty of resources on hacking there.

That's a good tip. Less permanent than doing something like painting my runners black, which would raise some eyebrows.

Is there any way to disable a house alarm by cutting some wires? I'm guessing the alarm companies would think of a way around just having wires cut, though...

Granted, he dies of a cancer you had been to ignorant of other people to notice the symptons for and he is buried in your back garden where he will stay with you.

I wish I knew what NOPCON is.

Thought I'd sneak that in there, nice spotting

I highly advise trying to learn to work on individual pins rather than just raking, one you get to a high enough level raking will be useless.
A home-made lockpicking gun would be way too noisy to be practical for night ops. Stick with doing it by hand.

Will an alarm for a house or car go off if I attempt to open a door or window? Or will it only go off if broken?

Does anyone have a certain stretching routine they use before going nopping? I find that it helps limber up my body and get rid of all the creaks in my joints. Anyway, here is mine: -Sit cross legged. Then expend out one leg straight out in front of you. Put your crossed leg's foot on your thigh and...

Thanks, I suppose that's the only thing I can do. Once I get back to school, I know a guy with a credit card who will aquire what you need if you pay the cost+shipping so I'll have to wait until then.

Thanks for the advice, Xanatos.

I'm going to go out for an 'op' in 30 minutes. I plan on sneaking through a field and past a house, doing a recon on a seemingly abondoned place near a field full of cows.

Any last minute advice?
Wish me luck!

Thanks for these, great reference points for noobs like me :P However, if anyone starting out is reading this, just do it. You don't need to wait until you have all your BDUs and top notch flashlights with red filters approved by NASA, just go outside and work with what you have until you get to a h...

Ok.

Hey guys, I'm trying to learn to pick locks, not for criminal purposes peresay but for curiosity and for UE. Well, I went into the only hardware store in town and asked if they had any lock picking sets. The guy said that a screwdriver and hammer was the best he could do :D That means I'll need to o...

I don't live in America, I live in the Britain Isles so they're not ranches, just old houses and farms. I have a balaclava, black/navy clothes and white runners. Do white shoes stand out much? My main problem is dogs, I don't want to have dog barking at me and they make the 'Journy of 1000 miles' da...

Quick noob question: How can I get my parents to let me buy a locpicking set online? I can't come up with a good excuse.

Hey guys, I'm an opper who lives in a very rural area(lots of fields, dogs and cows). I've only done one op; exfiltrate my light motion sensored house and take a little walk around a recently deceased woman's bungalow. I'm wondering if anyone has ideas for me to carry out, there's not much urban exp...
