Tired of staring at a monitor trying to reverse some nasty code...come try your hand [literally] at hacking hardware! The Open Organisation Of Lockpickers [TOOOL] is set up and ready to give you a new kind of challenge. Gaining access has a different meaning here. TOOOL uses their knowledge to guide you through different types of locks, their vulnerabilities, and how to exploit them. Scrape pin tumblers instead of data!
The mission of the Open Organisation Of Lockpickers is to advance the general public knowledge about locks and lockpicking. By examining locks, safes, and other such hardware and by publicly discussing our findings we hope to strip away the mystery with which so many of these products are imbued.
The more that people know about lock technology, the better they are capable of understanding how and where certain weaknesses are present. This makes them well-equipped to participate in sportpicking endeavors and also helps them simply be better consumers in the marketplace, making decisions based on sound fact and research.
The Open Organisation Of Lockpickers, or TOOOL, is an international group of lockpicking enthusiasts dedicated to advancing the general public knowledge about locks and lockpicking through teaching, research, and competition. TOOOL in the United States is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with Chapters in the United States and Canada.
