Oliver Diederichsen outdone himself on his book ‘Impressionstechnik’<\/a> (English: impressioning).<\/p>\n

\"details<\/p>\n

It sounds like magic: the expert wiggles a blank key into a lock,
\ntakes it out and examines it, files a bit off the key, wiggles it
\nagain in the lock and repeats these steps till the key turns and opens
\nthe lock. For real experts times under ten minutes are common.<\/p>\n

Oliver Diederichsen’s books explains how this is achieved. And if
\nanyone knows about this way to open locks (called impressioning) it is Oli.
\nAfter all he is the German impressioning champion of 2005. In under
\n7 minutes<\/a> he created a perfect fitting key from scratch to open an
\nAbus 5 pin lock.<\/p>\n

But besides being an impressioning master, Oli also has another skill.
\nHe is a great teacher, especially when it comes to lock opening techniques.<\/p>\n

To me it seems the only reason he did not become German impression
\nchampion 2006 was because he gave a small workshop together with Dr.
\nManfred Boelker one day before the event. Some Ssdev and Toool members
\nwere introduced to the fine art of impressioning with the material
\n(images) that led to this book. Amongst the interested crowd was Ssdev
\nmember Peter Danilov.<\/p>\n

Peter just learned about impressioning that day … one day before the
\nchampionships. The next day he entered the championship ‘for the fun
\nof it’ and won in a devastating time of 5:35! Oli became second in
\nlittle over ten minutes. Beaten by his own success …<\/p>\n

To me this proves Oli knows how to teach, and for all of us it is
\na big motivation to see people can become champions with the correct
\ninstructions and training. And of course a little luck …<\/p>\n

Oli’s book gives you these instructions and reveals there is no magic
\ninvolved in impressioning. It will teach you what materials to select
\nand how to use them, the pitfalls you can (and will) run into and the
\n“do and do-not’s” of impressioning.<\/p>\n

What I really like about the book is that it covers new ground. Many
\npeople in the security field know more or less pin tumbler and lever
\nlocks can be opened this way. But did you know dimple locks and even
\nlaser track car locks can be opened like this? Step by step Oli covers all
\nof these locks in detail, and many, many more.<\/p>\n

\"impressioning<\/p>\n

The book is filled with the most clear and beautiful high resolution
\nimages on this subject I have ever seen. I counted close to two
\nhundred of them, not including schematics or drawings. And that is
\nwhat this book is all about, details that make the difference. This
\nalso counts for the chapter Manfred Goth<\/a> wrote about forensic traces
\nleft by impressioning. The electron microscope images reveal what the
\nnaked eye can not see. Fascinating material!<\/p>\n

\"electron<\/p>\n

Oli explained me that printing in black and white would have made this
\nbook much cheaper. But being the perfectionist he is, he had the
\nbook printed in full color. That is why the price of 79 euro<\/a> might
\nseem a little steep. But if you want to learn about this technique it
\nis worth every penny. And who knows, you might even become the 2007
\nchampion …<\/p>\n

It got me motivated to learn more, I think I will give it a try this weekend.<\/p>\n

To be continued …. (and no, I do not get commission from Oli, it is just a cool book)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
