LOCK PICK

Lock picking: a staple at any security conference. Anyone can learn it and excel at it. This year, we’re going to expand on previous year’s LPC and break it out into more advanced picking methods. We’ll be learning how to use specialized tools and techniques. We’ll have Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced tables so you can try out all the different levels of lock picking.

Whether you are new or experienced with lock picking, the LPC is a must stop. Every hacker or security professional can benefit from this skill. Take your locksport game to the next level. We will have lock picking challenges, instruction and plenty of practice time for you to learn to pick the most challenging locks.
