Keypad boxes and telephone entry panels are nearly everywhere in urban and even rural environments. Incident response after a series of break-ins uncovered several shockingly simple bypass techniques currently in use by criminals. This presentation shows how a common keypad box will grant open access to a building in under ten seconds with nothing more than a very basic tool. The presentation will also give details on a series of countermeasures that can significantly reduce the vulnerability of assets protected by a keypad box.
