Server Room Selfies: When physical security goes wrong

Presented at Kiwicon 2038AD: The Dystopic Future is Now (2018), Nov. 17, 2018, 5:15 p.m. (30 minutes).

What if someone could just walk in off the street and physically help themselves to your organisation's most prized assets and information? Physical security is a crucial part of information security, and yet many organisations are blissfully unaware of how vulnerable they are.

This talk will cover a few physical security engagements I was involved in - the vulnerabilities we found, some of the tools and techniques we used to exploit them, and the impact this had on the target organisations. Featuring some fairly ridiculous door bypass strategies, a bunch of complete flukes, and a fair bit of nearly getting caught.
