I think this counts; it may not be a lifehack per se but it certainly seems to fit 'really stupid'...

What happens if they cuff your hands in front of you? Do you just buy a key for every belt loop?

Life Hack: This butane torch cleverly disguised as a belt buckle is perfect to quickly and stealthily escape any unlawful detainment! Edit: Looks like it's going to have to be a miniature Acetylene torch instead - butane isn't hot enough. Drag around gas cylinders at all times because it's never too silly to be prepared...

I get that lots of people get cuffed by power-tripping cops for completely bullshit reasons, but how would breaking out of the cuffs improve the situation? Wouldn't said power-tripping cop be just as likely to shoot you then?

The_White_Crane posted:... Is that pre-cooked bacon? This is from a few pages back but gently caress it. Yes. Yes it is. When I worked in the produce department at Walmart we had a stand of bacon perpetually sitting beside the tomatoes. It was precooked bacon in a box ready to be opened and served. Usually nobody bought it and it expired.

If the cops (or kidnappers) gently caress off somewhere long enough for a clean escape and don't know exactly who you are yet, this might not be completely stupid.

The only time that someone who buys a hidden key like that will be both arrested and under relaxed supervision where escape might be possible, they'll be in some dumb protest situation covered in pepper spray and restrained with zip ties, not cuffs.

Namarrgon posted:Now I'm no expert on this but I'm pretty certain there is no such thing as an universal key for handcuffs. I know you're probably not super serious asking this question, but its one of my degree fields soooooo: Most companies that make handcuffs use a universal key, sometimes there will be two or three patterns but this is rare. Many if not all companies are extremely paranoid about people getting their hands on these keys although certain patterns are much harder to get than others. The type used by most US law enforcement is not difficult to get, although many areas have moved away from any kind of standard in order to purchase newer and more high tech cuffs. A lot of departments still use cuffs that can be "shimmed" where the detained person uses a concealed strip of metal to trick the cuffs into thinking they have been unlocked. If you are in Germany or Scandinavia you are probably hosed however, they use a very obscure type of cuff that is very difficult to break, even with standard picking techniques. Not much was known about them until very recently when a member of a European picking group pickpocketed one of the keys, made a quick impression of it in clay and then returned it (later they 3D printed a key which was tested to work on the actual cuffs). But yeah, if you are preparing to be handcuffed, with some very minor research you can easily find out what kind of cuffs they will use and if/how you can get the tools to break them.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:This is extremely cool to know. What's your degree in? Spy novels? Security. Basically we have reached a point where physical security is starting to be really important in respect to computer security because many networks are so well protected that its much easier to figure out how to get into a building and plug a thumbdrive into a computer than it is to actually break into a network. It can be hard to explain to people who are running some big computer operation that handles lots of sensitive data that they really need to buy better locks and to train their security guards to not just let in guys in Comcast uniforms at 3AM (this works all the time). This isn't a great quality video, but this is some guys from Toool (a lockpicking group) talking at Defcon about the specific cuffs I mentioned earlier and also about the history of picking handcuffs. Most people think of Defcon as being very computer focused but their physical security stuff is also very extensive and interesting. http://youtu.be/9nHJ7F4gVFY

So how effective is it to drop a thumb drive in a company car park with a file on it called "October_2014_Redundancies.PDF" that is actually a trojan?
