Hi, I'm a security nihilist. You may know me from "patch all you want, it won't stop me", "yes, I'm already inside your datacentre", "your defensive posture is entirely ineffective", and, the classic, "it's all a waste of time and effort, we're all going to die anyway"... ;-p

… and today’s award for the “warding most likely to destroy EPG blades” goes to… 😝🤣 #locksport #lockcollector #allegedlyaGege looking forward to seeing what’s inside it when I get round to gutting it…

Can we have a quiet moment for all the picks mangled at LPV’s to people who don’t initially get the whole “if you need to use force, you’re doing it wrong” & “the pick isn’t a key, you don’t need to twist it”… video is giving me flashbacks…😝🤣 #seeiteverywhere #manypicksdown

We at #DCG201 would like to thank everyone who attended the @hackmanhattan Booth at the @MakerFaireConey this weekend to learn #lockpicking from @toool Member and our Co-Founder Sidepocket! @defcon @Coneypedia @coneyislandusa @ConeyIslandFun



“… I'm drinking this beer and I'm doing these drugs Just to numb all this pain, I don't know what to do It's not just me, only you and I know, that I've been so in debt that I'm suicidal…” - youtu.be/NQrsMaGo7Ns?si… #earworm #butitis #ohitis


Well, I guess that’s it official then… a bunch of us are running an LPV at @bsidesbristol next month… If there’s anything you particularly want us to bring along - let us know, and we’ll try to fit it in… #locksport #lockcollector

Hope everyone has a good day at @bsidesncl today… sadly, I can’t make it (Bloody hospital appointment 🤬). Keep things weird, people - and I’ll hope to be distraction free to attend the next one… ❤️


I don’t actually have any experience of opening these myself… likely to be openable with a cheap set of rakes, or, more expensive tooling required?? Anyone got any decent practical advice??

@a8n_pub Hello matey. Good fun catching up at 44Con. Friend of mine has found an old safe (locked) under the floor of a house they just bought. Looks like a cruciform lock, I think you had one on the table at the lock picking village. Any advice for getting in?

Have been thinking about gear optimization and I reduced my core tool set needed to break into most office buildings into something that can fit in a jacket pocket. (using this jacket taftac.com)

Finally found a circlip the perfect size for the removal tool in my re-pinning kit… 🥳 Can anyone identify the lock based on the photo below?? 🤔 #spotthelock #locksport

Finally relaxing with the pup after a few days at @44CON , mostly spent sat on the @KSEC_KC stand teaching people how to pick locks, and other things… as per usual, I completely forgot to take any pictures - so, if you have any, feel free to share… #44con #locksport


Random late night “science”… compare the attached video with this: youtube.com/shorts/YUwyr5f… - I think I might need to buy myself a better ultrasound cleaner… 😝🤣 (or YouTube is fake 🤪). #guinness

I'd rather not talk about how long I spent on this one. It's rather embarrassing. The good news is that once I realized I was dialing wrong, it was only 5 minutes.. I can't believe I did that.. oh well, live and learn. #safecracker #safecracking #locksport

Oops, I did it again... #safecracker #safecracking #locksport


Apologies, @fignjam , not an aspect of lock tech that I know anything much about at all… Anyone else got any suggestions?

Right lock folks.. I need to get a wheel clamp suitable for a double axle trailer.. what do you suggest? @cybergibbons @a8n_pub @McdCyber



Woohoo! I can’t afford locks any more, but fortunately pre-paid for these amazing @DigbyLockanTool locks (I have three, of course) last year… 😎 Beautiful shiny things, though I’ve not looked at the internals yet… #lockcollector

Well, we got her open. But there is no peeking until tomorrow morning when the news comes. This was by far the hardest safe i've ever had to open. I can't wait till tomorrow when I can see what's happening with the lock. There's something wrong with it with it. #safecracker

I've been practicing for Baltimore.. sure it's a different lock, but the theory is the same. Average is 11-18 minutes....
