Lab401 Workshop: Physical Pentesting with Covert Entry

Lab401 Workshop: Physical Pentesting with Covert Entry

Introduction

Physical penetration without infraction is a cornerstone of penetration testing.
Clients of all experience levels will leave this workshop proficient physical penetration testers.

Focused on hands-on training, clients will pick locks, bypass deadbolts and safety doors, mold keys, decode keys from a picture, learn privilege escalation on simple and advanced masterkey systems, identify and duplicate RF and RFID credentials...

After three days training, clients will have the skills and tools necessary to audit and enter a vast array of locations, including public (hotels, etc), commercial (offices, headquarters, warehouses) and industrial sites (critical infrastructure: power, security, etc)


Alexandre Triffault

Physical Security Expert

Security trainer for pentesters, computer scientists and the military for 10 years, Alexandre Triffault ( @Frenchkey_FR ) is developing tools and techniques to circumvent physical security devices (https://www.intrusion.eu/) . Specialized in 3D printing Keys and Tools, his work consists in finding and exploiting the flaws in access control systems, electronic or mechanical.

He is World Champion in impressioning technique (LockCon 2016). He is also a Research Associate at the Virology and Cryptology Lab at ESIEA and gives physical security classes in several IT Schools, and delivers training and consulting to multiple governmental and private organizations in Europe. He has lectured his research over the years at various international conferences and workshops, such as Nuit du Hack (FR), Defcon Lockpick Village (US), Hackito Ergo Sum (FR), LockCon (NL), SigSegV1 (FR), IT Defense (DE), GS Days (FR)...
