Re: Practical Lockpicking

Foreword-
By Barry Wels


Ethical Considerations
-By Babak Javadi


Introduction

Chapter 1:

Fundamentals of pin tumbler and wafer locks

Chapter 2:

The basics of picking: Exploiting weaknesses

Chapter 3:

Beginner training: How to get very good, very fast

Chapter 4:

Advanced traiing: Learning some additional skills

Chapter 5:

Quick-entry tricks: Shimming, bumping, and bypassing

Chapter 6:

They allcome tumbling down: Pin tumblers in other configurations

Appendix:

Guide to tools and toolkits

Experianced pickers will probably know 99% of whats covered in this book. Most of whats in the book is found on the internet if you look around.

However, for those that want a well written book with the basics plus a bit more I believe that this is an excellent introduction to this hobby.


FYI
Chapter 3 Beginner training....... how to get very good very fast is available as a LEGAL 100% FREE DOWNLOAD from the publisher at

Re: Practical Lockpicking

I have this book and I think it's a good first book for newbies like me. Detailed but readable. And the accompanied DVD has loads of useful info and videos.

Re: Practical Lockpicking

I have this book, haven't gotten around to reading it yet but have had a flip through and it looks good.
I didn't get a DVD with mine though. Not sure if it's usually attached at the back as with many educational books but there aren't even any tear off points or anything on mine so it may just be a DVD-free copy for some reason :S
