  • This is the lock picking lawyer, and what I have for you today is a Kensington Nopal computer lock.

  • It's essentially a long braided steel cable, which can be wrapped around a secure anchor point before this portion of the device is locked into a Kensington slot, which could be found on many modern notebook computers.

  • Before we jump into the loch itself, I should note that this is really only somethingto address casual theft.

  • Given the ease with which this cable can be cut, I think that is by far the most likely attack vector.

  • But let's still see just how hard it is to pick open the core on this is a tube your core, however, it's a little bit smaller than most, and because of that, the standard 7.8 millimeter tubular lock impression ING tool will not work.

  • However, single pin picking is an option.

  • Or if one has the smaller seven millimeter tube, your lock impression in tool that will likely be the fastest way in.

  • So let's lock it to my old notebook computer and see just how quickly we can get the Kensington lock off of it.

  • Okay, I'm gonna take my seven millimeter impression ing tool which you can see has been zeroed out and just that quickly, we got into it.

  • The fact that an impression in Tool works on this lock.

  • It all, I think, is a little bit disappointing.

  • That's because the simple design techniques to prevent it have been well known and understood for several decades.

  • That said, given the physical weakness in this lock, I'm not sure it really makes a practical difference.

  • In any case, that's all I have for you today.

  • If you do have any questions or comments about this, please put them below.
