Deviant Ollam and Howard Payne explain how elevator control systems work and how they can be subverted to bypass building security.
(116 mins) Throughout the history of hacker culture, elevators have played a key role. From the mystique of students at MIT taking late-night rides upon car tops (don't do that, please!) to the work of modern pen testers who use elevators to bypass building security systems (it's easier than you think!), these devices are often misunderstood and their full range of features and abilities go unexplored. This talk is an in-depth explanation of how elevators work... allowing for greater understanding, system optimizing, and the subversion of security in many facilities. Learn why an elevator is virtually no different than a staircase as far as building security is concerned! Speakers: Deviant Ollam; Howard PayneWhat people say. Highly recommended as an entertaining and eye-opening talk on physical security and elevator control systems.
