@@ruben307 If there's anything in the sides it's probably a zinc casting. The back plate probably just supports the shackle when locked so you can't just grab the lock and twist. Which... you might actually still be able to do.
@@ruben307 that's more expensive than magnetic steel. I expect that it's a zinc casting (zinc having the same density as iron, so it's decently heavy).
11*10*9*8/4! = 330 Any one of the eleven "digits", any one of the remaining ten, any one of the remaining nine and any one of the remaining eight. Without the factorial, 1234 and 4321 would be different codes.
You may choose from 0-9 and * . That's 11 digits, which results in 11*10*9*8=7920 possible 4-digit codes. On average that means that an attacker would have to press ~20k buttons (counting the reset button), which - in my opinion - would be sufficient. EDIT: This reasoning is wrong - while it does not allow for using the same digit twice, it does not disregard the different permutations
LPL: The chart is for you to keep on track. Me picking a lock: 1 is a maybe, 2 is a maybe, 3 is a maybe, 4 is a maybe, 5 is a maybe, 6 is a maybe, 7 is a maybe, 8 is a maybe, 9 is a maybe, 0 is a maybe... And I am a maybe
@@Konranjyoutai like LPL explained the paper was for the video so we can follow the logic. I've done this before it takes way less time once you've done it even once or twice. Though more practice is always helpful
Mallet, Lego figure, knife, spoon, shims, picks, "The tool that Bosnian Bill and I made", the round ended tool thingy, magnet, and now a pencil and a notepad. Still looking forward to him opening a lock with a steak. Medium rare preferred. Edited to add: Redbull can and twig. He's also used files, firearms, and cutters for brute force attacks. Maybe even a rocket launcher.
This is the Lockpicking Lawyer, and today we have a feast for you, or rather, me. What we have here is the Masterlock 99DSPT cable lock intended for securing a firearm such as this SIG SAUER P210. As you can see, the cable runs through the bolt, preventing it from being loaded or discharged. However it has a serious flaw. Over here you can see I have a nice steak dinner, which provides me with a variety of means of opening the lock without the use of the key. The steak is cooked rare, and when sliced, provides enough juice to thoroughly douse the lock. Now we simply take our salad spoon and give the lock a sharp rap on the side, and the lock opens without fuss, providing full access to the firearm. Just to show you this wasn't a fluke, we will repeat the process a couple more times...
Yes but I think he was also alluding to the fact the with the plastic body you could immediately pop the catch with a big screwdriver. This was the non destructive method.
This is such a spooky coincidence. My work uses one of these, and when I saw it I thought "This looks pretty weak, and probably easy to decode. I wonder if thelockpickinglawyer has a video on this" and then I checked and you didn't. Then not even a week later you now have one.
in about half the cases a lock keeps the bad people out. the other half of the time it just makes what they're doing more obvious to observers in the area. Even if the lock doesn't keep you out, others can call the cops if they see you fiddle with the lock box for a few minutes before opening it and going inside. OTOH, things like vending machines out in the hood need to be engineered more for defense since they may have to endure extended assault.
I like that you mention other physical weaknesses in locks. I known the gist of the channel is lock picking, but for us rank amateurs, I like seeing which locks are more or less over all secure. For example, I don't think many pro pickers are out to steal my keys, since they could just pick the door even quicker than that, but a low tech burglar would have an easy time breaking that box if its plastic.
Thank you. I have a similar device on my house and I've not opened it ever and was not given the code for it so knowing how these sorts of locks work is very useful and I'll give cracking it a go later on.
Unlike your picking videos, I feel confident I have now learned how to open one of these without knowing the combination. That says a lot about the low security level!
To be fair, he also doesn't tend to *show* how to pick most locks. He just picks them on camera, we don't really see the internals as he picks them or what he's feeling for.
this seems like a middle ground product, it is more elaborate to decode, even if the mecanism is not as sofisticated, it took longer to open than other "secure locks"
I'd love to see this one Master "Lock 5426eurd" it has the push button mechanism but the open lock thing rotates so you can't easily put force on it to check for bindings.
Um... it would appear that a big screwdriver would be in this in a second or two, either breaking or separating the latch, or pulling the sides away from the hinge pin. I'd also bet that faceplate would shatter like glass with a sharp hammer blow.
Every video you upload, I feel like a 5 year old watching a magician trying to understand why something works in that way... I'm in total shock why these companies have such bad locks, and how they even passed the testing phase.
was working with a client once that got one of these for their airbnb, box came already locked so I couldnt see or change the code. Was able to pry it open with a flathead without breaking it and told them they should get a different kind of lock...
This was very helpful because my wife, a Realtor, recently forgot/lost the combination to one of her lockboxes. It was a standard 2-column 10-digit lockbox. I spent an hour inputting every possible combination until one worked. This method can decode her lockbox in a few minutes, should she forget/lose the combination again.
With 11 buttons, there only 330 distinct 4-button combinations with distinct keys, or 462 5-button combinations. They can be tried in a jiffy. 2 seconds per combination-less than half an hour for all 4- and 5-long sequences.
Was thinking of getting the ABUS version of this kind of push button key lockbox, but now I'm not so sure. what would you recommend for something secure to store keys?
Hey LockPickingLawyer, when you walk over a lovers bridge that has thousands of locks attached to it, is it tempting for you to start picking those locks?
a client of mine has something very similar to this around their office. its just to keep employees from accessing keys they should not.. and in 2 spots to block a network jack from common use. (hole drilled in back and network port mounted in it) low level security, these work.. not for outdoor use for sure
That magnet appeared to be a keychain design with a threaded cover that may block the field: if so that would be hugely useful for me. Any idea where I can get one?
