What I thought would be pretty cool is if you could do it in real life, it's something I always wanted to learn. Not to use it for malicious reasons but just to know. I was looking around on a couple of different sites and found a cheap kit for beginners to learn. This particular set is on sale at the moment for €8.75. I bought a set and can't wait for it to arrive, I think I'd share it here if people had a similar interest to my own. Hope it helps someone!

Theres something of a question mark over intent, otherwise hammers, bolt cutters and crowbars would all be illegal. If I was ever challenged about having them I would simply say, Im a Pen Tester and while my focus is on application and network penetration testing, from time to time I may need to test physical security for a client.

As I left the store they pointed to the knife attached to my Snickers Trousers. I said that it was a tool for my work & they said fine "as long a you don't have it with you at night in shop street"
