Torx-plus, and the ones with a centre pin are called "Resistorx". You
also get them with the "male" side on a bolt head in both six- and
five-lobe versions, the latter being used to hold certain VW brake
calipers onto the hub. The 6-lobed Torx security bits are pretty easy to
come by just about
anywhere. The 5-lobed Torx security bits, on the other hand, are
considerably more difficult to find, though not unobtanium.
If it has five lobes, I don't know what it is, but it isn't Torx.
