Francis Dong

Francis is a results-driven security engineer, offensive security consultant at HackHouse. He's also a dedicated locksport enthusiast with deep experience in both consultancy and in-house security roles. A passionate lockpicker, he has taken the hobby from the practice bench to the field, bypassing physical locks and cloning or exploiting RFID access credentials during red-team engagements. This physical tradecraft is backed by a strong background in software development and application security, letting him show how a picked lock or cloned badge can chain into a full-scale breach. He has led hundreds of penetration tests and red-team exercises, consistently pairing hands-on technical skill with clear communication for technical and non-technical stakeholders, and across these engagements he has turned findings into prioritized, actionable fixes and measurable risk reduction.
