Sad but true. Then again, don&#8217;t be sad as I would not want it any other way.<\/p>\n<p>Just to give you an idea about my next few days: tonight there is a <a href=\"http:\/\/toool.nl\/Gatherings\">Toool gathering<\/a> in Amsterdam, and it is going to be nice as a lot of our friends from abroad will be visiting it. Then tomorrow morning we will drive to Essen for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.security-messe.de\/\">security show<\/a>, and on Friday we will all go to Sneek for <a href=\"http:\/\/toool.nl\/LockCon\">LockCon<\/a>. On Monday Han and I fly to Malaysia for <a href=\"http:\/\/hitb.org\/\">Hack in the Box<\/a>, and after that things will settle down a bit. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/disk-detainer-picks.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/disk-detainer-picks-700.jpg\" alt=\"disk lock picks\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>During the last weeks I have been quite active in lock research, to prepare my presentations for both <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thomaslfriedman.com\/bookshelf\/the-world-is-flat\">LockCon<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/hitb.org\/\">Hack in the Box<\/a>. Han and I always try to focus on the locks they use in countries we visit, and in the case of Malaysia it is &#8216;disk style locks&#8217;. Han Fey being &#8216;Mr Abloy&#8217; knows a lot about disk locks, although there is a small difference in quality from the kind of locks they use there. As far the organizers of Hack in the Box have told me, the &#8216;<a href=\"http:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/solex-padlock.jpg\">solex<\/a> brand&#8217; is the lock to beat. And when the lock sells for just a 10 or 15 dollar, there seems to be a lot of <a href=\"http:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/back-covers.jpg\">counterfeiting<\/a> going on. It is hard to understand a $10 or $15 dollar lock is counterfeited, and it is even harder to understand they are using <a href=\"http:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/solex-disk-detainer-seal.jpg\">high security holographic seals<\/a> to fight this.  <\/p>\n<p>After doing a little study on <a href=\"http:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/DSCF0133.jpg\">some sample locks<\/a> we got, we decided to do a hand-on class on picking these locks. People can register for the class, and pay a small fee to get a <a href=\"http:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/disk-detainer-picks.jpg\">pick<\/a> and disk lock and try to open it at our two hour course\/class (and later at the lockpick village). <\/p>\n<p>Got to continue working &#8230; time is running out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lots of fun things coming up &#8230; LockCon, Security show essen, Hack in the Box Malaysia and much more &#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":171,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1620"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/171"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1620"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1620\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
