There is a nice, short introduction to lock bumping and home security on safetyhomesecurity.net including some recommended bump resistant locks for home owners.  Its a little short on facts and specifics but otherwise gives a good, quick overview of the issue.

NPR’s All Things Considered recently (December 23rd, 2009) did a short article about Locksports (lock picking contests).  They interview Schuyler Towne, a well known lock picker, as well as, representatives from law enforcement and even a lock designer.

Due to the huge workload from some of my other projects, I am now releasing all of the safe manipulation software on AnalogHacking.com for free with direct download links. This includes the manipulation training and tracking aid, Contact Point Journal; the powerful, virtual replacement for magnifying aids & dial position measurement, VScale and, for those old school folks out there, a custom paper Vernier Scale creator, Vernier Scale Maker.

These programs are great for both the beginner in safe manipulation and the experienced professionals. Enjoy!
