I must admit I have been so busy last week that making the sunday evening deadline was not easy.
But hey, a promise is a promise … so here goes another posting …

I was planning on writing something about Marc Tobias his hack on alarm systems. The weak spot are the wireless sensors (operating on 433.92 Mhz). Maybe I will get back to that later.

Today I want to talk about some of the fun things at Toool: factory visits!

Dutch lock company Anker invited us last year for a factory visit. Even while most of the well respected brands on the market have lots of their parts made in China, Dutch lock company Anker is an exception. They still do most of the work in their own factory, and are very proud of that. At least in the Netherlands they are unique in that respect.

The following video will show you how the key profile is cut into a lock core. Anker is known by us lockpickers by their nasty to pick profiles: very narrow, lot of zig-zag’s and six pins. Not completely impossible, but by no means easy.

In this video you will learn how the profile is cut in the lock core (quicktime or youtube).
