“
Obvious question: If white hats are the good guys, why are they picking locks?
“The people who are at this conference are here for the sake of the hack itself,” Javadi said. “What is your data protected with? A lock. People who have the mind-set of finding creative solutions to complicated problems are drawn to the electrical side and the physical side of the problem.”
His group teaches hackers two metaphorically important rules: Don’t pick locks you don’t own, and don’t pick locks in use.
Michael Shea, who works for a software company in California, had picked several locks by lunchtime. He offered this bit of poetry about picking locks and the relationship to hacking: “It’s a Rubik’s Cube for the colorblind.” Beautiful, Mr. Shea.
