Different kind of lock, but I discovered the other day that the tumbler combination lock box I use for my car keys while surfing can be trivially picked - and there are youtube videos. Apparently this has been a big problem in SF in the last few years. Perhaps a dial combination lock box (e.g. Kidde) will be more secure.
- zie 5y agoSee LockPickingLawyer on Youtube, but basically every lock you can buy in a store is full of zero days. The only thing keeping them "safe" is most criminals are to lazy to learn the known zero days by watching a Youtube video or three and practising a little.
