DEF CON 22 - Deviant Ollam & Howard Payne - Elevator Hacking - From the Pit to the Penthouse

Elevator Hacking - From the Pit to the Penthouse
Deviant Ollam The CORE Group
Howard Payne The CORE Group
Throughout the history of hacker culture, elevators have played a key role. From the mystique of students at MIT taking late-night rides upon car tops (don't do that, please!) to the work of modern pen testers who use elevators to bypass building security systems (it's easier than you think!) these devices are often misunderstood and their full range of features and abilities go unexplored. This talk will be an in-depth explanation of how elevators work... allowing for greater understanding, system optimizing, and the subversion of security in many facilities. Those who attend will learn why an elevator is virtually no different than an unlocked staircase as far as building security is concerned!
While paying the bills as a security auditor and penetration testing consultant with his company, The CORE Group, Deviant Ollam is also member of the Board of Directors of the US division of TOOOL, The Open Organisation Of Lockpickers. Deviant runs the Lockpicking Village with TOOOL at HOPE, DEFCON, ShmooCon, etc, and he has conducted physical security training sessions for Black Hat, DeepSec, ToorCon, HackCon, ShakaCon, HackInTheBox, ekoparty, AusCERT, GovCERT, CONFidence, the United States Military Academy at West Point, and the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. His favorite Amendments to the US Constitution are, in no particular order, the 1st, 2nd, 9th, & 10th.

Howard Payne is an elevator consultant from New York specializing in code compliance and accident investigations. He has logged over 9,000 hours examining car-tops, motor rooms, and hoistways in cases ranging from minor injuries to highly-publicized fatalities, and has contributed to forensic investigations that have been recognized by local, State, and Federal courts. Howard has appeared on national broadcast television making elevators do things they never should. When he's not riding up and down high-rise hoistways, he moonlights as a drum and bass DJ and semi-professional gambler. His favorite direction is Up and his favorite elevator feature is riot mode.

    I understand what you’re saying, and it was a bit cringe to hear them call him a new speaker, and then later refer to them as new speaker”s” when he already said he wasn’t…. And also… is & was kind of famous in this community, so… 🤷‍♂️ but annnnyway, if you’ve never been to DEFCON in person or didn’t go to anything but talks/have only watched talks online then you likely aren’t familiar with goons being goons and doing goony stuff, but that was kind of unsurprising goon behavior if we’re being real, and they are most all actually really cool, but they are hackers/nerds in positions of authority and you can tell they’re a bit awkward and uncomfortable because that’s the type of person most of us are. I recognize this comment is 4y old, but it’s getting a ton of likes and more recent replies, so I just wanted to say this in fairness to them and the interruption. When stuff like this happens live it’s a lot less jarring as well. I don’t know if it’s on YT but I think it was DC 17 when the fire marshal showed up and 🐻 had to clear the main hall of the Riviera for like an hour. That was indeed disruptive, but stuff like this is mostly taken in stride and I would venture to say happens at every con.

    90% of "elevator based security" relies on Joe Public looking at the keyswitches on the COP or a slightly-ajar push panel and thinking to themselves... "that looks important... better not touch it or I might get in trouble". The number of times I've opened emergency phone panels and found priority/maintenance/fire service keys just right there in the switches, waiting to be turned...

I've got fond memories playing smash with my friends in the elevator.

    I was working Security in a Building and whilst travelling in the elevator with the Security Manager asked how often Security Tested the Emergency Phones. His response was that that was covered by the Lift Maintenance Contract. Yes the Circuits were Tested by Lift Maintenance for Operability, but not for Destination of Call. A Week late a Man got trapped in an Elevator for 12 Hours. His Emergency Phone although working was routed to an Answering Service in an Unattended Department. Four Hours after the Man had been rescued from the Elevator, the Security Centre got a Panic Phone Call from the Head of a Department who had just listened to 6 Phone Call from a panicked individual trapped in an Elevator. Next day, Security Personnel were Instructed to Test Emergency Phones Regularly (Daily).

    Anti nuisance mode works a little differently in quite a few lifts in Australia. If you press all the floor buttons, they *will* be registered, and the lift will make two stops. If it detects that no one has entered or exited for two stops, it deletes the rest of the calls and becomes idle/ready again, because the controller can reasonably assume that there is no one in it. I thought that implementation was quite clever, because it is possible that many legitimate calls may be punched in at the same time, for example a ton of people get on at one floor, you're standing next to the panel and you're kind enough to ask, "what floor do you guys need?" 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 14, etc etc.

    I can confirm that holding the door closed button on an elevator did work on one specific location for me, for at least a year. It was at the library at the university I studied at, and I rarely abused my newfound powers...rarely...But I have never seen it work since. And I don't know how people think it works, but it was clearly a bug in the operating software, that has since been patched (I mean, I DID graduate 16 years ago). The elevator would stop as normal, which was your signal to hit the button, and you'd hear the actuators rapidly cycle to open and then closed, and the elevator would continue on its journey. I can only imagine how crazy this would drive the people on the other side, especially since I assume it would register that the call had been answered and would reset the call flag.

    My favorite elevator control? No buttons, but a camera. On the top floor of the building, "Control," says they don't know you and asks for your chit number. You go to the top and prove you're supposed to be there. Then, they give you a chit. Four hours later, they recognize you and you just tell them where you want to go and they move you. Second favorite elevator control: Medeco key leading to floor with a surveillance killzone. You identify yourself, even though they know you, then use your OTHER medeco key to obtain access. If you're doings anything like this, bring your written orders to avoid detention.

    Except the person getting off the elevator would have called it in to security since they only used that back elevator as an exit. It technically could be done but it increases the likelihood of detection exponentially unnecessarily.

    I’ve been kicked off an elevator while it’s on code blue mode. I also have a code blue key and it’s really cool. However, if someone uses and a code isn’t in progress in the computer, it will activate the code system so doctors (and everyone else who has a key, like me,) can’t drive them around at their will.

    A trick I've seen on some elevators is if you try to open the door on any particular floor, it will cause wherever the elevator is, to stop and open its doors, briefly.... then close and continue on. Its a terrible design flaw.

    They're just blacked out as a courtesy gesture. The whole point of a lot of this is security, and relying on the secrecy of key bitting as a security measure is atrocious practice. And considering they showed those slides after explaining exactly how they got those numbers and how easy it was, hiding the bit numbers is barely useful. Anyone who wants to figure them out can figure them out quite easily, that's kinda the point of the talk.

    Working as an emergency/trauma nurse we used our badges all the time if the helicopter came to the roof pad…it gave us one of the elevators right to the roof and locked it out and allowed us to take a patient to the OR directly, SICU, or Cath Lab, or ED on the bottom floor…we’d get in a bunch of trouble for misusing our badges but they worked on more than just that one bank of elevators since many of us were on the code team and covered other parts of the hospital and satellite facilities. Doesn’t mean late at night we didn’t speed things up for ourselves occasionally…especially end of shift…

    Elevators (lifts if you speak english) are remarkably strong. Many of my coworkers get freaked out by lifts. I went to school in an office building for 10 years. We had the oldest still running and original lift (it was otis brand) in service in the city, and man did we abuse the shit out of it and it never killed anyone. It was a very large lift (the largest i've ever seen actually) with room for around 20 adults or 30students with capacity of around 1.8t. We would get on at the top floor and all jump at once to get that little zero g feeling (it accelerated downwards very quickly for an elevator), it handled like a tonne of students all hitting it at once and wouldn't stop. We would do 'washing machines' inside the lift, where everyone moves about back and forth with the objective of slamming the lift into the shaft walls, never failed. While i did get stuck in it a couple of times, it was never because of abuse. The building was made in the early 70s and the lift remained in service until around 2008.
