A lot of people here are coming from mostly technical, computer-based backgrounds, or from the social media aspect. Is there anyone interested in other aspects of technology that are traditionally considered hacking, such as lock-picking, amateur radio, two-way radios or into hardware?
Admittedly, I don't know much about these realms, but am interested in playing around and learning.
not bad! that would be an interesting topic anyway.
really interesting... i'd like to join this session too. 
:-)
I know a little bit about lock picking, so if you are interested, I could do a very basic session about topics like "How does a lock work in general?", "What's the basic approach of lock picking?", "How to build picks" or "How do bump keys work".
btw. is it legal to own lock picking equipment in Cambodia? In that case, I could bring some picks with me.
whoa, I haven't logged in in forever. I'd really like to see this talk. I'm not aware of any laws here regarding lockpick sets, but will ask. Could you maybe do a session on loiding? It might be neat/informative/scary to use common padlocks that are common here.
Do you mean loiding of door locks with e.g. a credit card? I haven't tried that so far, because there are no doors here where it could work.
If I have the time, I could try out shimming padlocks (like here
Please let me know what you find out about the lockpick sets. And of course it would be great if maybe you could bring some common padlocks, and I will also bring some from here.
sorry for the delay. Jan, I spoke with a Cambodian reporter who works a lot with law enforcement. He assures me there are no laws prohibiting possession of lock-picking tools. They may be used in a court as evidence for intent, depending on the situtation, but possession is not a crime. I hope this means we will get to see a demonstration. (and yes, I did mean shimming, not loiding).
