I watch a lot of Pen Testing videos. (Penetration testing, talks by people who are paid to try to break into places to test security.) My fave is a guy called Deviant Ollam. He does both physical pen testing and social engineering. He has great talks on elevator exploits and when he talks about cities writing the biting for fire keys into their actual city code I am very amused. (If you know the biting of a key you can have one made, and fire keys give access to like everything.)

Anyway, he just did a new talk on convention codes of conduct and incident handling. I used to have the unofficial role of 'she who can kick people out of places' even though I never worked con security or ops. If a person was in a place they shouldn't be, I was called. I was called when I wasn't on staff, I was called on two occasions when I wasn't even attending the farking event. Also, yeah, I've spent a lot of time running online community spaces.

So, this was a very, very satisfying watch for me:

"The Silver Tongue vs The Iron Fist - Deviant Ollam" (Watch on YouTube)

Also, the part that starts at 31:15? Holy heck, yes. FFS, yes. Why ... why is that hard for people?

Anyway, whether or not you watch the video I embedded, if you want details on breaking into places from someone who does it for a day job, I recc his videos for fic details.
