Some security researcher: "angle grinder attacks on common lock systems"

Necessary because script kiddies are constantly hammering all the locks in the world.

Lmao, I can't tell if this is stupid, or genius access control. Like if they had problems figuring out which one of their six employees was leaving the lock open, give them each their own lock!

You usually see these on fields that are co-owned or need to be accessed by several municipalities. Everybody gets their own key but can still have access to the area whenever needed.

Wouldn’t just duplicating the key achieve the same purpose or am I missing something?

[-] TheGayTramp@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 year ago

Duplicating the key removes some accountability. With this set up you can revoke access to only one person, while leaving the access in place for everyone else. If you had a single lock with six copies then a bad actor getting a copy means you’d have to replace everyone else’s keys

This also means one person can’t take their lock off and replace it with another, and therefore lock out everyone else

Is it just me or removing any or both of the bottom locks wont work because the bar wont be able to pivot enough to be taken out?

Edit: nvm you can rotate the rod and slide the bar sideways.

ngl, i kinda like this. Want to revoke access to any of the users but can't trust them to hand back their key(s)? Np, just change their lock.

There are better ways of doing this such as this, or if you value your money, a chain.

Is a hammer a cosmic ray in this example?
