This year's Lockpick Village at BSidesCLT 2026 will once again be hosted by FoxPick! Attendees can stop by the village to learn about lockpicking and to compete for prizes! #bsides #cyber #security #conference #lockpicking #foxpick

I was cleaning up the workshop it's getting warm enough to use wood glue again. But I get distracted. If I find a lock I must pick it.

Tubular lock pick made for Ace locks. A person from #Defcon described to me how they made it and sent pictures 🔓

"The main materials were thin wall brass tubing and flat spring steel, assembled with solder and copper wire." #locksport #lockpicking

Folks, we still don't have anyone to run a #lockpicking village/stand at #BSidesLuxembourg2026

If you know anyone in the region who'd be willing to do it, please connect us.

I'm not a #GameDeveloper, but I think it's fair to say that letting you learn #Alohomora in #HogwartsLegacy but still including a #lockpicking minigame for a spell that is supposed to automatically bypass locks was a waste of time & should've been cut. Especially if it requires legwork to unlock.

On a recommendation from one of the #lockpickinglawyer YouTube videos, I asked Santa for a copy of "High-Security Mechanical #Locks: An Encyclopedic Reference" by Graham Pulford. Lo, and Behold! What do I find under the tree this morning?
I can hardly put it down.
