The material emphasizes how vulnerabilities arise from manufacturing and mechanical imperfections, linking those weaknesses to actionable picking techniques such as lifting-based approaches. Ethical considerations are included alongside chapter-by-chapter fundamentals, enabling readers to build understanding before applying specific methods.","Practical Lock Picking  \nA Physical Penetration Tester’s Training Guide  \nThis page intentionally left blank  \nPractical Lock Picking  \nA Physical Penetration Tester's Training Guide  \nDeviant Ollam  \nShane Lawson, Technical Editor  \nAMSTERDAM • BOSTON • HEIDELBERG LONDON • NEW YORK • OXFORD PARIS • SAN DIEGO • SAN FRANCISCO SINGAPORE • SYDNEY • TOKYO  \nSyngress is an imprint of Elsevier  \nAcquiring Editor: Chris Katsaropoulos  \nDevelopment Editor: Heather Scherer  \nProject Manager: Paul Gottehrer  \nDesigner: Kristen Davis  \nSyngress is an imprint of Elsevier  \n225 Wyman Street, Waltham, MA 02451, USA © 2012 Elsevier, Inc.

It is because of him that I own a ten-year-old truck and a thirty-year-old jeep, both of which run just fine with half a million miles between them. I also cannot thank him enough for teaching me to shoot at a young age.  \nMy mother taught me the value of getting the most out of the equipment you own by learning how it functions, inside and out, so you can fix it if the need should arise. I can remember a time when I was all of about nine years old and the iron in our house stopped working. My mom explained to me that you don't throw something away just because it is old. Fiddling with the cord, she was able to determine where a break existed in the wire... it was down near the plug.  \nI stood there, wide-eyed, as she cut the line, stripped the wire ends, and inserted them into an after-market replacement plug. She let me hold the screwdriver and tighten the contact points where electricity would again flow to the appliance. I never forgot what it felt like to take something you owned and get more out of it using your own skills and tools.
