In 1905 Harry Houdini wrote his first book entitled “The Right Way to Do Wrong” wherein he divulged the lockpicking and other trade secrets of criminals. People make assumptions about how schemes work and believe them to be complicated, yet in many cases the insider knows how simple they are. Most people assume that besides tailgating and social engineering, real break-ins (or physical security testing) are all about picking locks. However, the secret is that on physical pentests it’s typically unnecessary to do that! Some physical controls have known bypasses, and some building contractors (or even locksmiths) don't implement things correctly. Just like Houdini, I’ll be divulging the simple tricks of the trade employed by both criminals and professional physical pentesters to bypass physical controls without using lockpicks. You may be shocked and amazed by what you see, and once you leave you'll be an insider too - seeing insecurity everywhere!
