Keys to the Kingdom: Impressioning, Privilege Escalation, Bumping, and Other Key-Based Attacks Against Physical Locks

Excellent book. Obviously the author knows his craft yet speaks well to those beginning. Easy read and loaded with tons of info.

Again, the book is amazing; but then again everything Ollam writes is. He gives great little insights delivered with enough personality to actually make books like this readable and not just dictionary style how to scribblings. Insights like how something is manufactured that helps you remember why it is an issue (and makes you seem like a genius when explaining it to the rest of your lockpicking buddies). The problem is it didn't come with a DVD like it says it would. Is there even supposed to be a DVD??? WHO CARES, BUY IT ANYWAY AND LOSE YOUR KEYS WITH CONFIDENCE!!!!

This is an amazing book!Deviant's writing style is very fluid and conversational. While I'm not a security professional... I've grown an interest in the mechanics of locks, lock picking and anything that might fall into those realms. I have been attempting to devour all the information I can and I've yet to find a book with half as much information in twice as many pages.Whether wanting to see how people might bypass your security, up your overall security knowledge/chops or just have a fascination with how locks work (something so simple and most of us take for granted): Definitely worth the read!

It’s a Christmas gift and hasn’t been given to the recipient yet…

Great follow up to Practical Lock Picking. Easy to read format and a wealth of information. Really like the section on impressioning. A must have for your Lock Sport library.

very thought provoking work.

Deviant Ollam is a superb writer and teacher of this subject. KEYS TO THE KINGDOM is an excellent companion to the first book, PRACTICAL LOCK PICKING. Start there before reading this book for an excellent foundation in this field. I've always been curious about locks and picks and after reading the first book see the world around me in an entirely new way. This book offers additional methods and techniques for the advanced student.

Keys to the Kingdom: Impressioning, Privilege Escalation, Bumping, and Other Key-Based Attacks Against Physical Locks by Deviant Ollam is an excellent source of information. It's informative, well written & humorous at times. I highly recommend this book!!

Das Buch ist schön. Leider war die Vorderseite zerkratzt. Das Buch sieht eher gebraucht, als neu aus.

Deviant Ollam lays out offensive locksmithing very well in this book. His photos/pictures and explanations are clear and concise. I was impressed by it when I read it the first time and I've since referred others to this book to develop their own skills.

In the small lockpicking word, you'll ever only need 2 books : the ones from Deviant Ollam. They are very clear to understand, you can feel the writer's passion, and you'll be much more aware at the lack of basic security of the very majority of all doors (including yours, rigght now). Top buy.

Excellent condition

This is frankly THE best book I've ever written on this particular subject. The author's writing style is clear and accessible. The technical subject is covered in depth yet the even the most complex areas such as master keying are covered in such a way as to prove to be highly understandable
