Most information comes from Kevin Mitnick's book Ghost in the Wires.

You're not allowed into a certain room... how do I get in?

Pretty simple task. There are a few ways.

Carry a supposedly heavy box
Get cardboard box and act as if you're having trouble carrying it. Almost immediately people will be more enticed to hold the door open for you.

Tailgating
Most places that are supposed to be secure have an extremely strict policy against tailgaters. Tailgating is simply following behind someone that does have access. Often times, long time employees don't mind doing this.

If there's a strict policy, make a fake badge, ID, or item that shows authority. Observe the people that are allowed into the room/building. Do they have a badge of some sort? Look at it and recreate it yourself, and another employee will be much more likely to let you in, even hold the door for you!

Non-SE methods

Pick a lock
You can probably find a bump key on Amazon for just a few dollars. There are countless tutorials on the internet regarding bump keys, so I'll be brief on the topic. A bump key is a key that will push up on every pin inside the lock mechanism. Hit the end of the bump key sending all of the pins up. Do this while lightly turning the key. After a few tries, the lock will open for you.

Create a gap between the door
This is one that people might notice, but it's still worth a mention and one that I thought up earlier.
If you put something between the door and the place where it hits the wall when closed, then the door won't make the clicking noise when closing, and will let you pull the door open later, even though you can't turn the doorknob. (If anyone doesn't understand, let me know and I'll try to get some pictures of an example.

Hopefully none of you are going to break in to anyone's home, and I am not in support of any illegal activity, but know these things to be less vulnerable to a break in at your workplace. Even if the person you held the door for earlier had a badge- Wait a second, I'm $100 dollars short here...

Happy (human) Hacking

Tis' good for a quick tutorial mate.
Perhaps more time to explain such in a more in depth manner to attract the Readers you're hoping to attract.

1. Do you have the ebook of Ghost in the wires? I'm looking for it since I don't know when.

2. Howard - The Big Bang Theory - explained his possess of a NASA robotic arm or something in the way with a "the trick is to act as if it's yours.". When I have to get home, or maybe a friend's house or, whatever (unless it is a bank), people usually say "You have to get in?" and holds the door for you, supposing you have the rights. Right inside there was a notice as well: "cause to recent thefts, please, always close the door". I quite distinctly remember the SE scenes from Hackers, but far better, from Takedown (Hackers 2).

Dude: hey, you, computer guys never come this late.
Kevin: is it late? I usually come when Joe's here, then it is late.
Dude: do you have a badge?
Kevin: yeah, sure... oh, I forgot it in the car, I'll just...
Dude: no, it's fine, you'll bring it the next time.

People usually trusts you, if you look believeable. Policemen, rent-a-cops, secues, anti-narcos, they'll all let you go easierly if you look relaxed and your story is believeable. I've seen several actions regarding these ones, on the web, on TV, at school, in the street, in parks. Everywhere.

For instance, airport immigration service and drug squads often choose (and declare to have chosen so for this reason) to either let one in or out basing upon their stillness and credibility (contradictions, smoothness and plausability in their stories). Irvine Welsh wrote that for heroin-heads it gets easier to tell lies than the truth, they get that used with it. I sometimes happen to tell lies to make my story more believeable (as it's often not when I tell the truth), or to give a misleading idea about my person. A friend of mine once had the whole town we frequented, all our friends and such believe he was an year older so that the older ones not considering "kids" (he was not a kid, but that's the idea) would take him in the "right places" (long story short).

Just a tip: keep an eye on your lie. If you /tell it big/, you might find yourself in troubles. That's not advisable. You better say half the truth; you should be able to easily justify yourself if people find out about your lie. You'll sometimes really have to lie in some way not justifiable at all, but as long as you can, keep on telling the truth, just omit, or say what you know the other might misunderstand.

Just a few suggestions as this looked the right place.

Ehm, I think it was another one, the book I couldn't find. Just googled it and it was the first result: http://www.anonbox.me/plf/downloads/Ghos...itnick.pdf.

Looks like Kevin Mitnick is involved in nearly all hacking books (The Art of Intrusion, The Art of Deception, No Tech Hacking, Trackdown, Ghost In The Wires, ...).

Huh? I got the book from that link. When I click it on Google it's right, but not the one you posted.

That should work. If not, PM me your email. I also have a USB somewhere around here that has a ton of programming/hacking/social engineering ebooks. I'll look for that and if I find it I'll make a thread publicly sharing it.
