Attacks and Countermeasures

According to Fennelly (2017), there is no lock that is completely invulnerable. The effectiveness of a lock is determined by how long it can resist the attempts of an intruder. Fennelly (2017) tells us that the two basic methods for attacking locks are the following:

• Surreptitious techniques
  • Illicit keys
  • Circumvention of the internal barriers of the lock
  • Manipulation of the internal barriers
  • Shimming
• Force
  • Attacks on Bolts
  • Attacks on Cylinders

Select and discuss 1 of the attack methods. Also mention why you selected that particular attack method.
