The article says that certain other techniques weren't demonstrated because they were "too sensitive to show to the Defcon audience before giving Kaba a chance to fix the problems." What is worse than a whack on the top opening it?

- dfc 15y agoWays to bypass the lock and leave no evidence that the lock was bypassed are much worse. When an ameteur picks a lock it is very easy to inspect the pins and see if they have been manipulated by something other than the key. I imagine that the rubber mallet technique leaves evidence of malicious manipulation behind.
