You might be able to storm an Amazon warehouse, but any of their data centers? No, you won't be getting inside unless you bring some explosives or heavy equipment. Those buildings are weather hardened, typically able to withstand hurricane force winds or up some F-N tornado, and completely locked down.
Locks only keep honest people out. With a cordless drill, angle grinder and about five minutes you can get through almost any door.
These buildings aren't just secured by simple locks, dude. I've been in a few. A cordless drill and grinder would just scuff up their doors a bit.
You're not attacking the lock, you're attacking the entire security surface.
- Is there any obviously exploitable flaws within the security surface? (under-door exploits, latch slipping, REX triggering, etc) Exploit them for the cost of a drink can or a piece of paper, or a $50 tool on Aliexpress.
- Is the lock high security with anti-drill pins? Cut the lock away from the door.
- Is the door stainless steel clad? Cut out the hinges.
- Is the entire door stainless steel? Cut out the frame.
- Is the entire door assembly stainless? Find a connecting wall and cut it out, or just break through the drywall or the false ceiling.
If your goal is to get into a secure area by any means necessary with no regard for signs of intrusion, there's very little that can stop you, even with consumer-level tools.
And if their gear is completely secured within a bank vault or similar, you can fuck with them even more by firebombing power feeds, fiber lines, and A/C units (dumping iron filings into a ducted A/C system is a great way to destroy electronics). Removing their ability to get to their gear is almost as valuable as getting that gear for yourself.
Plus if you've got a couple of grayhats or blackhats, you could even exploit the security software they use.
Bottom line: if you've got physical access, there is nothing that can stop you from disrupting service.
Cut the water source, they'll blow up by themselves.
This .. is actually a good idea. These data centers rely on water for their cooling systems. Without it, the building would slowly heat up until all equipment inside would overheat and fail.
They won't blow up, though.

I bet a glassbreaker would do a job on their glass 'security' doors.
and its not like you could starve them out either.
release the bees
maybe shop owners should fill their store with wasps if they know their is going to be riots for a few days.
