your locks and doors are NOT safe! great videos about security and protecting yourself
i stumbled upon this speaker and some of his, shall we say, expertise, and was enthralled.

it is especially useful if you are thinking about safety as far as locks and sharing information online are concerned. the op video as well as the following two videos are also really interesting and eye-opening about what you assume is safe, and how easy barriers and locks are defeated.

this first video is about many things, including how from a photograph, a clone key can easily be produced!

so, in other words, if you happen to allow a photo of your key to be made, or for whatever stupid reason, decide to post a picture of your key or keys online, someone can easily clone it and use it to enter your home or office, or whatever.

and, there is a lot more than just this in this and the following videos. you think your super secure door is safe? it can possibly be opened in seconds without a key. and, many other, extremely interesting bits...

i think this knowledge is really important, in order to stay safe and ward against possible black hats...

more great videos in the next couple of posts.

add/edit:
this guy, in other videos, discusses that 9 times out of 10, he doesn't need to pick the lock. they can, if needed, but most often, don't need to.

Re: your locks and doors are NOT safe! great videos about security and protecting yourself
the video goes into a lot more than just keys, and cloning of keys, but also show tons of places where many of us may think our places are secured, only to see that the locks, or padlocks, or security systems are easily, and quickly fooled.

yeah, sure, 2nd amendment, i totally agree, but this is still great point to be aware of.

Re: your locks and doors are NOT safe! great videos about security and protecting yourself
this next video is focused more on doors and securing a door against attacks. also really worth the time to view.

especially if you need to think about your security perimeter. it also goes into a bit of social engineering and how, through social engineering, crooks and con artists can get a lot of information that allows them to steal/rob from you or your loved ones.

i highly recommend taking a look at this (and the original op) fascinating video(s)

Re: your locks and doors are NOT safe! great videos about security and protecting yourself
and here is a lot of info about how terrible many padlocks are and how easy they can be opened with very little skill (without anyone knowing).

again, i am telling you, glp, this, because this information is out there and can be used against you. if you want to use this information to cheat or steal, fuck off--you're scum.
this is to help prevent you or your family protect themselves.

this video shows you how 8 different padlocks can be opened in less than 10 seconds.

 Quoting: Jungle Jim


often yes. but, a good lock, or a good security system can buy you a lot of time. if a thief has to work for 10-20 minutes, or more, to get a door or lock open, it will 1. make them possibly look elsewhere for easier prey, or, give you enough time to be alerted and prepare.

i think you should reconsider your original premise.

any info you can add to this?

some of the tech has gotten to be crazy in the last decade it seems. i watched other videos from the same guy, and it talks about capturing badge credentials covertly, cloning the badge, and then getting clearance with the cloned badge. the process was quick and easy.

for those that don't understand what i mean about badges--the cards you may have to wear at work to get in and out ofo the building and specific sections or doors. i'll see if i can find that specific video as well.

to expand, they used a mix of social engineering to get close enough to someone, like a security guard that usually has all access limits in their badge credentials, and was easily able to clone the badge with a small device that was easily concealed in a backpack, briefcase...

I was going to watch the video, but don't want to spend 40+ minutes on it. Sure, maybe you can secure your doors better than they currently are. However, if someone really wants in your house, all they have to do is cut or break a window, so how secure can a home really be?

Re: your locks and doors are NOT safe! great videos about security and protecting yourself
It's important to pay attention to what the lock is attached to! Most doors have a 1"x1/2" shred of wood between the deadbolt and kicking the door open. That's ridiculous. At the least, a full length piece of angle iron can be installed under the molding and over the strike side. A recess can be drilled/milled into this to retain the deadbolt. It will take time and noise to defeat this, and those are the two enemies of the intruder.

You want notice that an intruder is attempting entry. You want him/her to think twice when the try. You want to capture them on video and if you have time, weapons and presence, you can deal with him/her. If you don't, you might delay them long enough for security or police to arrive.

You might also make sure that all windows and other openings are covered with bars or steel mesh. Siding should be stucco at least - reinforced concrete is best. Brick and block are in the middle. Getting through that stuff takes time and makes noise too. Anything that's just wood can be penetrated silently.

i found the videos extremely worthwhile as well as entertaining. if you are interested to see how quickly and easily doors and locks can be defeated, have a look. there are three videos, the first two posted are from the same guy. the other is from a different guy and more focused on padlocks and the like. i can't convince you to do anything, but if you're curious about these things, it's time well spent.

thanks for the reply. these videos lead me to revisiting a lot of social engineering videos, and yes, this is a very big element. however, in a few of this guys videos he talks about common master keys, some including a key for most of the door systems in the states. this little key opens the console and provides access to the override.

what you mentioned was something i know all to well from the early 80s in jersey, when i was working in some buildings. back then, there were no cameras, but you would ring and mumble something. after a few times, someone would buzz you in.
