Bypass 101 - Physical Security Door Entry Techniques

Learn fundamental door bypass techniques that don't require attacking locks directly in this 30-minute conference talk from the Physical Security Village at Ekoparty Security Conference. Explore various methods to gain entry through doors by exploiting egress hardware, access control systems, and numerous other vulnerabilities in physical security implementations. Discover practical approaches to understanding how physical barriers can be circumvented through creative problem-solving and technical knowledge. Master the basics of physical security assessment by examining real-world scenarios where traditional lock picking isn't necessary, focusing instead on systemic weaknesses in door hardware and access control mechanisms. Gain insights from Terry Luan, Logistics Director of the Physical Security Village and Computer Engineering Masters candidate, who specializes in physical security, reverse engineering, and cryptography, as he demonstrates fundamental concepts that security professionals need to understand for comprehensive physical security assessments.
