There's a door at work I regularly need to access. It used to be used for another purpose but now is just an extension of the work area. It's got a badge reader and simplex lock but I can't get badge access because I don't actually belong to that work area yet I'm there everyday anyway. However, someone wrote the simplex lock code on a sign in very small numbers for this exact purpose. Other simplex locks in the building use the default code you can find online. The whole building is secure so you'd never be able to walk up to these doors without proper credentials, they are mostly just there to keep out the curious or someone looking to borrow tools that they shouldnt.
- atlanticaccent 2y ago> The whole building is secure Given what you just said and the article you're commenting under, are you sure?
- organsnyder 2y agoAnyone wearing a maintenance uniform and carrying a step-ladder could surely find a way in via an overly helpful victim.
- EvanAnderson 2y agoLook like you belong and act confident and you can get nearly anywhere. Props help-- wear a high-vis vest and a hard hat, carry a tablet / folio / clipboard around an office, etc. Confidence is the key, though.
- organsnyder 2y agoYou also have to fit a certain expected demographic.
- EvanAnderson 2y agoSadly, yes-- that's true. It's a game of playing to stereotypes, for sure.
