Hello. I'm new to the lockpicking world. Lockpicking has always been something I've had a passing interest in but something I've never sat down to actually learn. I was listening to Schuyler Towne's talk about locksport at last years Defcon and was inspired to take this interest to an accelerated state of actually learning something. My background is in more of a computer security realm than physical security, now I want to change that to both.
