De community kon gadgets aandragen in het topic, waaronder user @
Saumaran dat heeft gedaan:
Saumaran in "Welke gadgets voor de zomer raad jij je medetweakers aan?" met het lockpick setje.
Blijkbaar zijn er meerdere users die dit ook kennen/kunnen, getuige de
reacties onder
het artikel.
Volgens
een organisatie wat toernooitjes organiseert uit de comment blijkt dat lockpicking niet bepaald een efficiënte manier is om in te breken in een huis.
Criminal Elements?
If you want to be able to break in as needed, then just go buy a crowbar or a screwdriver; lockpicking will be of little help to you. With a crowbar, breaking in takes seconds. To be good in lockpicking, on the other hand, you need years of practice and enormous amounts of patience.
And we open locks in our hands, or fix them to a table with a clamp. This works quite differently than opening a lock in a door. In fact, that is an inconvenient placement, and demands an entirely different position and technique. And that is the last thing we have to say about this.
The association shall also cooperate with the authorities at all times (provided of course that its officers come with a valid request). What's more, we know from experience that agents of the law do in fact come to have a look, and do not always go to the trouble of identifying themselves as such. That is no problem for us, and we hope that this has the effect of frightening off persons with bad intentions. It would do justice to the name of law officers if they would identify themselves to the board, but that is their choice.
And then there's the 'forbidden information'.
Obviously, criminals never rest in coming up with new techniques to get around locks. If there are techniques that pose a great risk to society, or if a lock manufacturer fails to inform its customers about a particular vulnerability in its products, then we blow the whistle. The question of whether you should publish flaws or keep them secret is an easy one for us to answer. A weakness or flaw in a product can no longer be reversed, and once it is has already been published within a certain scene then it is much better if everyone knows about it. This is the only way in which people acting in good faith can protect themselves against people acting in bad faith. Even specialised installation companies are sometimes unaware of techniques that are broadcast on prime time TV just over the border of the neighbouring country. For instance, there is the bump-key method, which caused quite a stir in Germany, but which was practically unknown in other countries.
As you have noticed we are very open about locks and security. But we can even be more open. Several Toool-people have written a series of articles on high security locks. The high resolution images and technical explanation of the inner working of these locks is completely in line with Toool's open attitude. Check out our special page with Publications.
Uiteindelijk heeft @
WoutF besloten om de input van @
Saumaran op te nemen in het artikel. Het is zeker niet bedoeld om reclame te maken om in te breken in andermans huizen, en getuige de reacties op dat setje in de comments in het artikel is het maar de vraag of dit setje van dermate kwaliteit is om in een huis in te breken.
