Check out both of the links here. Fascinating and disquieting at the same time. I always knew that locks were only a nuisance to professional lockpickers, but I didn’t realize just how easy it was to learn to pick them… or how quickly even the best locks can be beaten.
I have a friend who’s a locksmith, and there are very few locks he trusts at all; and the one he does trust, forgot what it’s brand is, was recorded in slashdot as finally been picked even though it’s regarded as lockpick-proof.
I remember now, Medico. It is mentioned in the comment section of the article.
That’s what the Wired article is all about, the story of Marc Tobias and Tobias Bluzmanis breaking Medeco’s high-security lock. Read it, it’s very interesting.
