Lockpicking

In all of my security classes we discuss the importance of physical security, I never get much resistance from students here, everyone seems to nod and agree. Outside of the classroom however, there are too many scenarios to count (Car dealerships, Sports arenas, hospitals, schools, etc) where network equipment is behind a locked door, in what used to be a broom closet. Not much thought is given to the locks. Well, at Defcon this year I brought the wifey by lockpicking village (her 3rd defcon, but 1st attempt at lockpicking) and long-story-short she took to lock picking like a duck to water.

One of the guys doing presentations has a website with excellent videos that I wanted to share. Also, if you make it out to Defcon be sure to stop by the lockpicking village!
