CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-003) — Question 181

An external red team member conducts a penetration test, attempting to gain physical access to a large organization's server room in a branch office. During reconnaissance, the red team member sees a clearly marked door to the server room, located next to the lobby, with a tumbler lock.
Which of the following is BEST for the red team member to bring on site to open the locked door as quickly as possible without causing significant damage?

Answer options

• A. Screwdriver set
• B. Bump key
• C. RFID duplicator
• D. Rake picking

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Rake picking is the best method for quickly opening a tumbler lock without causing significant damage, as it involves using a specific tool to manipulate the pins inside the lock. A screwdriver set is not effective for this purpose, a bump key requires prior knowledge of the lock type and may cause damage, and an RFID duplicator is irrelevant for a physical tumbler lock.
