I've been doing cyber security for years now. Back in the pandemic, I found a talk about using elevators for physical penetration tests. Went down the rabbit hole and now I can tell you a lot about an elevator just from the up and down buttons in the lobby lol.

Thanks for chiming in with the video link. This is super interesting. I can't wait to talk my partner's ear off with elevator facts the next time we ride one lol
