If you liked the original post, you will probably LOVE this DEFCON talk about elevator hacking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHf1vD5_b5I

It also gives a lot of fascinating information about elevators in general and specific operation modes.

e.g. there is a "riot mode" where the elevator goes to every floor except the first (or ground in EU) floor aka to the lobby. The idea was that, during a riot, a luxury building in NYC would lock the stairwell access from the lobby but people could still take the elevator to the other floors to visit their neighbors etc
