PSV
The Physical Security Village (PSV) is a security awareness initiative that makes appearances at security conferences (like DEF CON) as well as other educational functions. The aim of the PSV is to raise awareness of easily preventable security faults that occur in any home or business through hands-on learning. This encourages individuals to check their premises and fix security issues in a way that deters would-be burglars and makes it harder for them to gain entry.
The PSV focuses on physical vulnerabilities, mostly resulting from incorrect installation and poor hardware choices. At conferences we tend to stear-clear of lock-picking, although we have covered this at other functions.
Sessions
The Physical Security Village explores the world of door hardware bypasses and techniques generally outside of the realm of cybersecurity and lockpicking. Come learn some of these lock bypasses, see how to fix them, and have the opportunity to try them out for yourself. They will be covering the basics, like the under-the-door-tool and latch slipping attacks, as well as an in-depth look at more complicated bypasses. Learn about elevator hacking, as well as defeating alarm systems and surveillance cameras, with cutaway and display models of common hardware to show how it works on the inside. It is very easy to get started in this village - simply read the instruction sheets provided, scan a QR code to learn the techniques, or ask any of the volunteers in the green shirts if you have questions!
