First Time at TRISC: Lockpick Village
Want to tinker with locks and tools the likes of which you've only seen in movies featuring cat burglars, espionage agents, or Southern California car thieves? Then come on by the Lockpick Village, where you will have the opportunity to learn hands-on how the fundamental hardware of physical security operates and how it can be compromised.
The Lockpick Village is a physical security demonstration and participation area to be set up in the Vendor Expo. This public space will consist of a workshop environment in which participants can learn about the vulnerabilities of various locking devices, techniques used to exploit these vulnerabilities, and practice on locks of various levels of difficultly to try it themselves.
Experts will be on hand to demonstrate and plenty of trial locks, picks, shims, and other devices will be made available. By exploring the faults and flaws in many popular lock designs, you can prepare yourself not only for possible work in the penetration testing field, but also simply gain a much stronger knowledge about the best methods and practices for protecting your own infrastructure and personal property.
After all, you can have the most hardened, patched, and properly-configured servers on the planet but none of that matters if someone marches them out the door without any difficulty.
As a bonus Lock Pick Village is running a scenario-based course in which contestants must use picking skills to free themselves from evil captors in under five minutes. The course will offer a variety of locks representing a range of difficulty, allowing participation by people of all skill levels. Points will be awarded based on the time of completion as well as the difficulty of locks attempted. The winner's filmed escape will be shown to the conference attendees and they will be presented with an award.
