Wow, 24 hours and no replies?!

Fine, you know what? FUCK IT!

Alright, first off - While you can concentrate on physical, understanding the basics of the digital side of things will make you more valuable, and arguably more effective. I'll take this opportunity to point you at Metasploit and tell you to atleast spend an hour or so each week working to understand it. I'm not saying you have to know it backwards or inside-out, just get a basic understanding.

But you said you want to go down the physical path, so fuck all that bullshit I said before, ignore it if you want, I don't care. It's just a suggestion.

Do you pick locks? Why not? Come on over to /r/Lockpicking and read the stickied post at the top. Buy a lockpick set. You're just starting so you can go a little crazy, or be conservative. Get some locks (Don't pick locks you rely on!) at a store, and learn the basics of how to pick.

Your fingers will get sore. Time to put down the picks and start reading:

There is a ton of info in the sidebar. The wiki is your friend on free materials.

I highly recommend Lockpicking - Detail Overkill. The Author /u/derpserf used to poke his head in this sub a while back. Really in depth shit. (he would want me to use an expletive)

As far as printed media, I am a huge fan of Deviant Ollam. (Disclaimer: I have hung out with him at Defcon and have a bit of a man crush). He is a super nice guy who is very passionate about teaching what he loves to do. His two books (one about [picking and how locks operate(http://www.amazon.com/Practical-Lock-Picking-Second-Edition/dp/1597499897) and another on impressioning & bypass methods) are awesome.

Hope that helps.

I don't do magic. =)

Lockpicking is like trying to solve a jigsaw puzzle in the dark. Each lock presents a different challenge. You have to train yourself to visualize what's going on inside of the lock from the feedback that you feel through your tools. Some locks are really easy to solve while others are much, MUCH more complicated and tricky. Before I started this on Boxing Day, I had no clue how to pick locks. But thanks to this book that my wife bought for me to go with my lockpicking set and practice lock (which she also got for me!) I have learned quite a bit. It's an excellent book!

You could think about prewiring doors & windows for sensors, with the wiring terminating in an interior lockable closet for an alarm box. You might also want to prewire inside/outside sirens, AC/battery interconnected smoke alarms, and likely locations for security cameras. I'd pull Cat 5 or Cat 6 back to the same closet, you can run power + video or power + IP on a single strand of Cat 5/6. Also good exterior lighting, and extend the power/network wiring to the detached garage, so you can have a camera on the house watching the garage, and a camera on the garage watching the house.

While you're spec'ing out building materials, it's a good opportunity to choose doors + windows with security in mind - security film/glass, strong doors, good hinge/latch hardware.

If it were me, I'd think about building a low-budget saferoom - doesn't have to be Hollywood star quality, but an interior closet with a sturdy door, and a phone/Internet connection inside, room for a few people + a gun safe.

I'd be inclined to make the windows tough to look in from the outside - with thin but unpleasant bushes (like rose bushes) underneath so people can't hide there, and don't want to be there.

Yeah, I've been thinking of actually getting into this hobby. I was looking around for resources and found this book: Practical Lock Picking: A Physical Penetration Tester's Training Guide by Deviant Ollam. Would you recommend it or know another resource? Here's a link to the book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1597496111/ref=s9_simh_gw_p14_d7_g14_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-5&pf_rd_r=0WKF110A7B9A11RQNP6B&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470939291&pf_rd_i=507846

u/JasonAller · 6 pointsr/lockpicking

Practical Lock Picking: A Physical Penetration Tester's Training Guide is well written. The author is Deviant Ollam who has contributed greatly to locksport.

There's some older stuff, too!

Shoes and I gave a talk in 2010 that focused specifically on ways to attacks locks just with key blanks and non-working keys. The first 20 minutes focuses on features of keys, photography, molding, casting, and other related topics.

Deviant's second book Keys to the Kingdom (2012) focused on procedures for many key/blank-based attacks, as well.

u/dadoftwins71309 · 2 pointsr/lockpicking

From this Amazon listing stating "Publication Date: October 8, 2012", and talking with Deviant on Twitter.

This, his second book (on bypassing locks WITH a key) on "the topics of impressioning, master key escalation, skeleton keys, and bumping attacks", also comes out shortly.
