Air Vent Safe

Most safes make it pretty obvious that your valuables are inside, usually due to the combination lock or keypad on the outside. You can hide stuff under your matress or behind various other things that a thief would want to steal, but that’s pretty unorganized. What if you could hide your valuables inside of something that’s so common, that it’s completely out of sight? How about an air vent? To install it, just cut out a section of drywall, and put in the compartment fastening it with screws. It opens with a mechanism that is hidden in the grill and no one will see your stuff thanks to a black divider. It will cost you $259.95, but you have to admit, it’s the best hiding spot.

BioAxxis Fingerprint Door Lock Named Best by Good Housekeeping Research Institute

Syracuse, NY (June 3, 2008) –The Good Housekeeping Research Institute has tested and evaluated the BioAxxis® BD1, biometric deadbolt and the Institute has rated it the best compared to the others on the market. A revolutionary new lock from BioAxxis Development Corporation uses your fingerprint instead of a key, forever eliminating the need to fumble in pockets or purses and improving home security and safety. The lock, called the BD1 for Biometric Deadbolt, has been featured on CNBC and received the top honor for design and engineering at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2007.

The Good Housekeeping Research Institute just tested a few of these new locks to see if they're worth the money.

"Fingerprint-scanning technology is showing up in a lot of consumer products nowadays. You see it on laptops and printers, and more recently on front door openers and garage door openers," said Stacy Genovese, the Good Housekeeping Research Institute's Engineering Director.

After careful testing the Good Housekeeping Research Institute concluded the BioAxxis® BD1 the most reliable biometric lock. Genovese states, “The BioAxxis lock held up to all our testing and proved to be best door lock we tested.” The institute tested the lock in a variety of ways.

"We had many people register as users so they could open the doors, and then tested it on lots of other people that weren't registered to make sure it wouldn't let them in. We also tested it in a rain tester and in a humidity chamber set at 30 degrees so you could get in the winter," Genovese said

Logitec WiLife CCTV Security System

The WiLife system consists of indoor and outdoor cameras as well as a variety of night-vision accessories that easily connect to a PC via USB.

How It Works

The system begins working as soon as it is plugged in, all the cameras installed and installed the newest version of the software, WiLife Command Center 2.5 on a PC.

The quality of the recordings is surprisingly good.

You can access those cameras for free over the Internet, even via cellphone, and the system can alert you via e-mail if anything moves. Remarkable. Any prowlers wanting to help themselves would have VGA-quality color movies (no sound) of them in the act. Just the mere presence of such cameras, with their highly visible red and green lights (which can be easily turned off), serves as a strong deterrent.

Platinum Edition

This WiLife system newest software, the Platinum Edition add-on, costs $79.95 per year. It lets you electronically pan and zoom all the cameras and, most importantly, store footage online. That makes tons of sense, because if someone is robbing your house, the computer with all the WiLife footage will probably be one of the first things stolen.

The downside? It's not perfect. The system is geared toward recording footage, so live viewing of all the cameras isn't as smooth as it could be. Also, while the cameras all have good low-light performance, they require an optional infrared lighting system and special lens to actually see faces at night. Keep in mind, too, that you’ll need a powerful PC to handle multiple cameras and recordings.

Costing is around $1,100 to set up a complete system with five cameras. A starter kit with one camera is $260, and each additional camera is around $215.

NDE Magazine Issue #3

NDE magazine, one of the voices of the Locksport Community, recently released their 3rd installment of this new and popular magazine.

An interesting article written by a notable leader of the Locksport community is as follows:


It’s a New Day:
Security Through Obscurity & the
Locksmith Industry
"It seems that everything changes over time, but the physical security industry has changed
dramatically and it will never again be the same. For hundreds of years the locksmith trade has
been one of precious secrets and knowledge, passed from journeyman to apprentice, from father to
son. That was the old paradigm, or what some might even call “the good old days” of locksmithing.
Today, anyone with access to the internet can discover “secrets” that were previously possessed by
only a select and trusted few. The old paradigm no longer fits and it hasn’t for many years. While
some may wish to blame locksport, it has been this way for longer than locksport has existed. It
is left to the professional locksmiths to grow and adapt to this new world and satisfy the needs of
their customers.
In days of old, the “lock smith” was the one who actually made the locks. They worked hard to
develop the best possible lock, carefully guarding their secrets. They truly aimed to create security
for their customers. Since it was they who crafted the lock, it was they who knew every detail of
it, details they certainly didn’t want falling into the wrong hands. And so it was for generation after
generation, and the system worked reasonably well.
Something changed though, and it wasn’t the proliferation of the internet, where secrets are passed
around more rapidly than a doobie at a Grateful Dead concert. No, it was much, much earlier than
that. What changed? Locksmiths stopped making locks.
Indeed, it was this shift that changed the face of the industry. The role of the locksmith changed
forever. They were no longer craftsman, they were knowledgeable experts. They were no longer
builders and designers, they were installers and troubleshooters. The locksport community didn’t do
that to them. It wasn’t even conceived of yet. It was the economy of mass production that
irreversibly changed their role. It is not to say that locksmiths needed to know less. In fact, one
could easily argue that they needed to know more, with the need to know about the wide variety of
products and options available to the consumer. Locksmiths continued to serve a vital role in
society, but that role had changed.
So what’s the problem? The problem was, and in many cases continues to be, that many of the
“old ways” remained. Left unchanged was the desire to protect valuable “trade secrets” and other
such pieces of information that, at the end of the day, amounts to nothing more than knowledge of
vulnerabilities. To some extent, this was done to protect their trade. While it’s an understandable
position to take, it’s not necessarily helpful. Add to this a second influence that came in the form of
pressure and expectation from the manufacturers. In some sense, locksmiths have become the
salespeople for the lock manufacturers. Locksmiths even invest large sums of money to gain
“authorized reseller” status from leading manufacturers. With all this invested, it’s easy to
understand why they would hold to their old position of security through obscurity.
This does present a serious question to consider: If locksmiths are influenced by pressures to
protect their industry and to protect the interests of the manufacturers they represent, then who
shall stand as advocate for the consumer? This is the question of the moment in the physical
security industry. Before the angry responses begin to fly, it might be worth the effort to note that
not all locksmiths can be painted with the same brush because each locksmith may choose to
conduct their business as they see fit. There are numerous locksmiths that hold, as the single
highest matter of importance, their responsibility to the consumer. With others, the interests of
the consumer have been shuffled down on the list of priorities.
The proliferation of the locksport community, though still in its infancy, has emerged from those
who simply have an interest in the products they use to secure their person and property, and the
limitations inherent within those products. Indeed, few enthusiasts set out to “change the world”
in any meaningful way. However, in many cases some have stepped up to become the de facto
advocate for consumer awareness. This role would not need to be filled if the locksmith industry at
large was fulfilling that need.
It is wise in any industry to consider the needs of the consumer first, because clearly it is the consumer
that drives the industry. For far too long they have been left in the dark concerning the
vulnerability and risk to which they were subjected. This is made evident by the reaction of average
people when they view media stories on the “bumping” technique. Their shock and discomfort
serves to show us that the physical security industry has done a poor job of informing the public.
Locksmith trade groups claim that the technique has been known to locksmiths for decades. If this
is true, why was the public not informed or the vulnerability corrected?
Some argue that it is the public release of information, such as bumping, that creates the vulnerability.
The argument is that bumping attacks were uncommon or even unheard of before information on
the subject was released widely. There is just enough truth in that argument to make it dangerous.
The problem, of course, is that the technique was used. Because bumping leaves little in the way
of physical evidence, it is difficult to accurately judge how often it was used. One can’t help but
wonder if the victims of these crimes would be pleased to know that the locksmith that sold them
the lock may have known of the threat, but chose not to inform the consumer. Were those victims
better off not knowing of the problem?
The issue of security through obscurity is a dead concept in virtually every area of security, except
the locksmith industry. Computer professionals and corporate security advisors have long recognized
that security through obscurity can act as one of many layers in a security plan, but left to stand on
its own it is disastrous. Anyone doubting this might consider a preview of Kevin Mitnick’s The Art
Of Deception. Despite this, the locksmith industry continues to hold tight to its old ways.
This article is an extrospective look at the locksmith industry. That is to say it is written from an
outsider’s point of view. The author writes from his own perspective only. Before anyone lines up
to state the irrelevance of the author’s perspective, it might be worth noting that the author is,
himself, a consumer in the physical security industry. If this consumer’s perspective is considered
invalid, does it not serve to validate the article itself? Food for thought.
