I agree i don't think they would have released this info if they cared about copyright or security its just another lock picking manual.

Yes... I'm sure this was actually published by the CIA as a copyright-free manual on lockpicking. :roll:

I highly doubt the CIA ever had a manual that it would have leaked out or allow to be declassified. It's just a cool title that's all. You don't think the MIT guide to lockpicking by Ted the Tool was also written at MIT do you?

Of course not. It was a joint effort by researchers at Yale, Harvard and Cornell.

Word on the street is the guy from Cornell was FBI, and that Harvard dude was actually British MI6.

Got that one and a key casting manual, hope it helps.


the first link does not work..
It has been brought to my attention that some users do not like the fact that my username has the word "Crook" in it. It is a 10 year old gamertag and I am working on changing it. I hope that it has not caused any confusion // misinterpretation.

My mistake: [snip]
And yes this was published by paladin press so it isnt original, however i do have some manuals that are legit CIA, DEA resource manuals that were declassified. They however would stray from the topic of lock picking.

In which case I have to delete the link and refer you back to the site rules you agreed to when you created your account.
