Hey Hey,

Has anyone seen the videos for the flaws in the Kensington and Kryptonite locks? It's pretty ridiculous.. I recieved the videos through email, so I'll try and upload them to my server when I get home... unless someone knows where the originals are on the internet...

Anyways... using a simple bic pen casing (or a piece of a toilet paper roll) you can unlock a kensington lock (not the combination ones... the keyed ones).. It took them under a minute in the video.. .and under 30 seconds even, so I decided to try on one of our office monitors that uses this lock... in about 5 seconds I had the lock open and off the computer... using nothing more than a pen casing... This is sad and pathetic... Just push it into the hole and turn it back and forth while applying pressure... it slips right in and unlocks it...

The Kryptonite bike locks will apparently be replaced when possible with a newer lock mechanism... but Kensington hasn't announced anything yet.... The funny part is that this was first discovered in 1992, but not overly publicized until now... How many thefts have occured because of this....

Anyways just wanted to through a heads up to you... I'll post those videos tonight when I get home from work, and tomorrow we're gonna make a video here in the office of just how quickly it can be done.

Peace,
HT
