Three pharmacists in Atlanta, Georgia have invented a new energy drink called Booster. It has become the number one soft drink in the world and you are assigned to find out how it is made. This is a closely guarded secret known to only three original pharmacists: Pat knows the process, and Audre and Stacey each know half of the formula. The entire secret is stored in the Booster Vault at Booster HQ. The Booster Vault is accessible only by the Booster Virtual Private Network and will only work when all three passphrases are entered within 30 seconds of each other from three different IP addresses. Design a campaign including technical, social engineering, and reverse social engineering techniques to get the full formula and process.
