First thought is lockpicking. Check out the lock again, look for the manufacturer and see if you can buy the same model. Then practice on it at home until you can lockpick it pretty quickly.

this is a cool idea, I haven't thought of that! I wonder though if you can pick a lock that is additionally secured by a card reader. But a lock itself can be pretty hard to pick, too. I once had to get a door fixed and I used the opportunity to ask the artisan about locks and he showed me all the security features of my lock. I quickly lost hope to ever pick that lock, lol.

Another thought is to check the vendor of the elevator control panel. Then look for known security vulnerabilities. Maybe there is a way to clone a guest access keyfob, or there's a special access code for maintenance? This is probably less likely to work, but if it does it will be the most fun way to pwn the system.

Also very good idea but I need someone else's keyfob first unless it's really insecure. But it's definitely worth looking into!

is crashing a party ok?

Good question! Imo, it's okay. It does not get my friend into trouble and I simply want to get on the 8th floor. I don't even really want to stay there and get in the pool. I just want to prove to myself that I could get up there on my own.

So maybe I can just try to find a way to see if there's a party going on there so I don't even have to ask my friend.
