-: Lock picking. 2 2
In this demonstration, I want to show you 3 3
how easy it is to bypass the security 4 4
that a standard padlock tries to afford you. 5 5
You can do this by using an inexpensive lock-picking set 6 6
that you can find on Ebay or Amazon for about $25. 7 7
This same basic technique works 8 8
for a standard door lock, as well, 9 9
like the one you'd find on your office or your home, 10 10
and the reason is 11 11
they both rely on a pin and tumbler system. 12 12
Now, hopefully, this shows you how important it is 13 13
to pick a high-quality pick-resistant lock 14 14
to protect your networks, servers, 15 15
and your organizational facilities. 16 16
So, to do this demonstration, 17 17
we're going to use four things. 18 18
I have a standard padlock, 19 19
I have the keys for that padlock, 20 20
I have a lock pick, and in this case, 21 21
it is a single-lock pick 22 22
that will have one single tooth 23 23
that will try to move the pins up and down, 24 24
and I have a tension wrench. 25 25
So, at first, I'll show you 26 26
that the standard padlock, 27 27
and you could see this is see-through 28 28
so you could actually see inside of it. 29 29
We're going to put the key in, just like we normally would, 30 30
we will open it, and you can see it's just a standard lock, 31 31
it opens to the right, 32 32
and if we take the key out, we can lock it again. 33 33
Now, what we're going to do is 34 34
we're going to take the tension wrench, 35 35
and we're going to place it into the keyhole at the bottom. 36 36
Now, when we go to open the lock, 37 37
we want to be able to turn it to the right. 38 38
So, I'm going to constantly apply just a little bit of pressure 39 39
with my pinky to hold that in place. 40 40
And I'm going to use the lock pick 41 41
and I'm going to pick each of those six pins 42 42
to find the right place for them. 43 43
And once we get them right, the lock will open. 44 44
And you can see just how quickly and easily it is 45 45
to be able to pick a lock in this manner.
