Practical Lock Picking: A Physical Penetration Tester's Training Guide 2nd edition

Ollam, a security auditor and lock-penetration specialist, presents a detailed guide to how locks work, why we should understand how they work, and ultimately how to apply this knowledge toward picking locks in an ethical manner for personal intrigue and having a better understanding of security systems in our lives. He states up front that one should not pick locks one does not own or have a right to penetrate, or that one relies upon. He presents the fundamentals of how a variety of locks work and their weaknesses to penetration, including tumbler, wafer locks, tubular locks, cruciform locks, dimple locks, and locks with pick-resistant features. He also instructs on the picking tools one can, as well as should not, use, how to create picking tools from common objects, and how to differentiate picking tools. The material is presented in progressive and highly structured chapters, and includes figures and diagrams, tips, and chapter summaries. Syngress media is an imprint of Elsevier.
