do you think this includes the targus defcon scl (the serialized version that comes with a predetermined, non-changeable combo)? the end of the lock (where the pin is stuck) looks different on mine

i just bought one a few weeks ago. i hope no one is brave enough to pull this off while i take a shat in the library...]]>Sep 8th 2006 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/Sep 8th 2006 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/Sep 8th 2006 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/
WHAT THE HELL TARGUS, YOU NEED TO FESS UP AND GIVE ME A FREAKIN NEW LOCK! I'm sick of this crap! You told me this one was better, fixed the problems, so I bought it!]]>Sep 8th 2006 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/Sep 8th 2006 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/Sep 8th 2006 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/
Before posting this for all to see, did you provide Targus with your findings and allow them the opportunity to remedy the problem?

Shame on you. I believe you owe me a refund for my lock. Anyone else feel like I do? How about a class-action lawsuit against THESE guys?]]>Sep 13th 2006 7:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/
Its called "white hat hacker", Jose.]]>Sep 20th 2006 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/After all, no thief would be stupid enough to spend $25 buying one of these to figure out how to steal laptops that net him only $250 each. I mean, only a 10x return on investment! Who'd be willing to make that gamble. Too risky I say.

Until they have a better 'socket' to connect the locks to there's no real point in spending a large amount of cash on a lock like this even if it's the worlds best.]]>Sep 9th 2006 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/
Anyway, we bought one for the job but the customer didn't like it for some reason, so we ended up using a regular lock like they wanted. I still think it's one of the best solutions out there, though.]]>Sep 9th 2006 3:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/]]>Sep 9th 2006 6:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/Oct 27th 2006 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/

I used to open Master padlocks by simply putting some pressure on the hasp and carefully turning the dial. A lot of bicycle locks were even easier to open. The Defcon lock had me stymied for a long time, but I can say that I learned something today.

Attention all my "friends" - better be nice to me! :-)]]>Feb 11th 2010 8:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/the-lockdown-your-new-targus-defcon-cl-lock-hacked-by-beer/
Still looking forward on how to hack it... lol.
