Lock picking techniques are used in physical security assessments to test access control mechanisms.
Raking (Option D):
Raking is a lock-picking technique where a rake pick is inserted and rapidly moved in and out to manipulate multiple pins simultaneously.
It is faster but less precise than single-pin picking.
Used when speed is prioritized over precision.
[Reference: CompTIA PenTest+ PT0-003 Official Study Guide - "Physical Security Testing Methods", Incorrect options:, Option A (Plug spinner): Used after a lock is picked to rotate the plug in the correct direction., Option B (Bypassing): Uses methods like shimming or card sliding, which do not manipulate pins., Option C (Decoding): Involves reading lock components (e.g., key cuts) to generate a working key rather than picking., ]
