Simple PDF on how to remove a door by taking the hinges off when possible. It's not the greatest method in the world, but you've got nearly unlimited room for more techniques in your arsenal, so why not learn it anyways?

Techniques of Burglar Alarm Bypassing by Wayne Yeager http://parazite.hostrator.com/techniques_of_burglar_alarm_bypassing.pdf This is, in my opinion, THE best primer to alarm systems out there. It lays out how they work and potential bypassing theory in simple terms and diagrams. Anybody can learn f...

There seems to be a much higher emphasis on going unnoticed than in the U...

Nice, has a few sneaky tricks anyone here can use.

Psychlonic

For now, it sounds good. You should keep your physical training nice and easy, but still beneficial for you. Right now it's mostly a mental game. You have to develop a habit before anything, else you're going to get burned out and stop completely. I stated a lot more on my thoughts about starting up...

This is another topic I'm still interested in furthering. Does anybody have the means to test out ideas to defeat the Wiegand system? Know a friend that works at a hotel, anything? If someone could get a hold of the lock from the door itself, that would also be invaluable. Pictures of the system tor...

Psychlonic

I'd like to keep this topic active as it's a pressing issue and we still haven't come up with a clear solution. It may seem that there is no uncompromising solution, but innovation is what this forum is all about, no? There's gotta be a way. I looked in the ion ray gun concept, and the idea is just ...

Psychlonic

Admittedly, I've found no method to unlocking these without destruction of either the window or the lock, no matter how minor. In some applications, the frame of the window itself is weak enough that the screws which mount the lock to it can be ripped out with enough prying force. I've scribed then ...

I'm having problems of my own with my saved versions. It seems I saved only the raw HTML, with no pictures or anything. I have some of the files from other things, so I'll probably have a somewhat faithful recreation soon enough though. Including the blue celtic background. I don't have any of the e...

Psychlonic

Try them for sure, man. I'm not the originator of the idea - I think stealththief was the first to bring them up - but damn they work wonders. Completely silences gravel if you make them correctly, and has really saved me a couple times going from a wet, muddy area into a clean interior surface.

Psychlonic

The idea is similar to the rumble pick I posted awhile back, albeit a much older one. Vibrating lock picks can be made out of just about anything that shakes if you find a way to attach the pick. My friend Teck-9 made one out of an automatic toothbrush that worked pretty well. I've also seen them ma...

Psychlonic

Hmm... not sure about that idea. It would work and all, but would be pretty inefficient. On the other hand, if they were converted into a long, continuous PDF file, that would be pretty sharp.

Psychlonic

Sounds fair to me. If any of them come back and show a renewed interest, it's an easy thing to undo.

Psychlonic

I'm modifying what I've got here so that each topic will be in a single page format rather than multiple pages. It won't have the EXACT look and feel of TOTSE, but it should be quite convenient to just scroll to your heart's content. When I'm satisfied, I might even take the time out to convert any ...

Psychlonic

I say we should try to create a time machine of sorts to make up for our lack of a proper archived forum now by adding HTML perfect copies of the night ops threads on &T and elsewhere if possible. I know that I got bored of saving pages eventually and stopped, so I don't have every topic completely,...

EDIT - Stay tuned, NON.

Covert camping is my specialty. :) More so than night ops, easily. First, tarps are heavy and generally meant for more utilitarian purposes. They make a fine shelter, but you're wanting to get the most performance out of the weight you carry. That said, you'd get more out of a one-man nylon tent. If...

Psychlonic

Well, are you sticking with it?

Psychlonic

I admit I carry a big fatty of a knife around as well, probably just because I've grown used to it over the years and I'd rather have it around than a shorter although probably more practical knife.

Psychlonic

Don't worry, I'm pretty sure I'd get funny looks where I live carrying around a fixed knife as well. I used to mosey about with a couple tucked away but I was younger and dumber back then. My "theory" was that if someone pulled a knife on me, I had vastly superior "firepower". Honestly, I no longer ...

Psychlonic

I've always been a single edge guy, I guess just because I try to use my knife as a tool most of the time. More of a camper/survivor mentality than that of a fighting one. A single edge actually has plenty of pros to it, hollow ground knives have way more chopping power and are capable of being much...

Psychlonic

Thanks. I guess the condensed version of this whole story is this: The internet is full of wonderful ideas, but many are unrefined ideas coming from people who've never actually tried them. Just because a person sounds like they know something, doesn't necessarily mean they actually do. There is no ...

Psychlonic

That's a wonderful idea! Someone needs to make a topic in the black ops section now and we'll sort out how to get these hookers.

Psychlonic

Perhaps only having some of the forum accessible to lurkers & non-members, like the Experiences section or something. Whatever you wish to have available, make sure you keep the 'BO' section out of public view. I was actually thinking of going quite the exact opposite direction and opening everythi...

Psychlonic

I've set the idea on the table to open the forum to lurkers and non-registered users, allowing them to view the boards freely. I would also like your input on the matter as you are the posters. The biggest reason for this is simply to increase the number of active members. What you need to know is t...

I think the biggest reasons I wouldn't be caught with them are that they ruin peripheral vision, allow less light into the eyes, and create a large reflective surface. If you wanted them for dust, it might be more efficient to just keep them in a pocket until it gets bad, or keep them above your eye...

Psychlonic

Thanks for mentioning the legal aspect, I was going to say something about that but spaced it off. The law is the same in the US - you're legally obligated to surrender your encryption keys by THE COURT. Cannot stress that enough. If some super trooper is asking you, ignore his ass and just tell him...

Psychlonic

Did he? I never recalled seeing the name until he died, to be perfectly honest. But there was also a long period where I was absent from the &T threads so it's perfectly possible I overlooked it. Anyways, this is a great way to practice and have some fun while doing it. A spin on the idea is to simp...

Psychlonic

Nice guide man. For whoever it may help, if you're like me and you have a large library stuffed with material that could potentially put you behind bars for awhile or otherwise want information secured, encryption is good but the absolute best way to ensure it stays safe is to make sure nobody finds...

PART II: WISDOM During my time in the Army, I indeed learned many things. I felt like a human weapon at this point. This is where I belonged. However, I quickly learned how different I was from all these people. For them it was just a job. For me, it was a passion. I wanted the enter the ultimate pr...

PART I: POWER This goes out to the "big time players" on the forum who do or who desire to achieve in the highest ways possible using the lowest means. Unlike other career pursuits, there is little training. There are no established courses or regulated standards for you to follow. What you learn ei...

Psychlonic

That's actually a pretty crafty idea, man. I sometimes carry around one of those "weather resistant" notepads and it's got plastic covering. The idea might have hit me if I was desperate for a tool and rifling through my pockets, but otherwise I would have never thought of that.

Psychlonic

Good write-up. I was about to comment further on the vests last night, but ended up doing more "carpet bombing" with information instead.

Psychlonic

Nice. I've been considering switching from just a gear belt/pockets to either an LBV or a drop-leg platform. What are your thoughts on ALICE/MOLLE type vests? i haven't seen many in stores, but i'm guessing it would go something like this - pros would be a completely customized vest with pockets an...

Psychlonic

Heh, no it's not something I care to talk about so let's just keep this on topic. It's not a matter of "achieving" the state of mind, it was a constant state of ALWAYS being in it. It was my lifestyle, from which everything else revolved around and decisions were made on. I was more thinking out lou...

Psychlonic

So, you want to use an assault vest eh? Wearing an assault vest, also known as a load bearing vest (LBV) requires a bigger deal of preparation and change in tactics than most people realize. Improperly prepared assault vests can rattle, scrape, hang up on objects, make lots of noise when opening pou...

Also the idea of catching up with your old self is often enough for me. This. About a year ago I found myself thinking the same thing as you, Therin: my 18 year old self would CRUSH the current me, and it pissed me off to the point I started improving myself more and more. As far as psyche goes I d...

Psychlonic

For what it's worth, it's admirable you're setting lofty goals but maybe you should just start out nice and slow so you don't burn yourself out early and say fuck it. It's perfectly possible to just suddenly find yourself in the mood to kick complete ass and workout like an animal, but doing that, i...

Just curious, what type of compass is that? I've got one that looks identical and I wasn't too impressed with it, swivels back and forth trying to find north. Also has a harder time locking onto magnets and has to be much closer. For what it's worth, the one I've got says "Engineer".

Psychlonic

Good point. I think losing buttons on the trousers is inevitable but some certainly lose them faster than others. "Propper" brand seems to be especially bad about it. I've also noticed that Tru-Spec seems to have poor quality stitching around the knees and the inside portion has a tendency to tear e...

Shoelacing Cards fall short when the door swings outward rather than inward because the angled cut of the bar is on the opposite side of the door. Every now and then you'll run into a door you can slide your card into, pull back, and catch the angle to open. But these are few and far between, and th...
