-: Lock picking.
In this demonstration, I want to show you
how easy it is to bypass the security
that a standard padlock tries to afford you.
You can do this by using an inexpensive lock-picking set
that you can find on Ebay or Amazon for about $25.
This same basic technique works
for a standard door lock as well,
like the one you'd find on your office or your home,
and the reason is,
they both rely on a pin and tumbler system.
Now, hopefully this shows you how important it is
to pick a high-quality pick-resistant lock
to protect your networks, servers,
and your organizational facilities.
So to do this demonstration,
we're going to use four things.
I have a standard padlock,
I have the keys for that padlock,
I have a lock pick, and in this case,
it is a single lock pick
that will have one single tooth
that will try to move the pins up and down,
and I have a tension wrench.
So at first, I'll show you
that the standard padlock,
and you see this is see-through
so you could actually see inside of it.
We're going to put the key in, just like we normally would,
we will open it, and you can see it's just a standard lock,
it opens to the right,
and if we take the key out, we can lock it again.
Now, what we're going to do is
we're going to take the tension wrench,
and we're going to place it into the keyhole at the bottom.
Now, when we go to open the lock,
we want to be able to turn it to the right.
So I'm going to constantly apply just a little bit of pressure
with my pinky to hold that in place.
And I'm going to use the lock pick
and I'm going to pick each of those six pins
to find the right place for them.
And once we get them right, the lock will open.
And you can see just how quickly and easily it is
to be able to pick a lock in this manner.
