Lock picking, in this demonstration
I want to show you how easy it is to bypass a security
that a standard padlock tries to afford you.
You can do this by using an inexpensive lock picking set
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,
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 first I'll show you that the standard padlock,
You can see this is see through,
so you can 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.
So 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.
You can see just how quickly
and easily it is to be able to pick a lock in this manner.
