An excellent first talk. Dedicated service for shipping legit Chinese locks (rather than the knock-offs of them) to the West could be a future career. Technically a fine talk too.
It's probably gonna be difficult due to the reputation. But if I were to do it, I'd register an American company and sell them off as American locks, only importing the technology and some key components.
padfrog193 and preparation for the tech component, various cameras and the like. But a) that’s conferences for you, unless you’re a keynote you’re probably not doing rehearsal, and b) sangfroid under that pressure, so enh.
Agreed with the rest of the commentators, this was a great talk. Very interactive with the audience and, unlike some other speakers, most of his jokes did not fall flat. You can tell he really knows his stuff.
Great talk, Five years on and I am seeing pickers pick these locks more frequently in the locksport community. The methods have been discovered and shared. Thanks for putting this on your channel, cheers
He picks everything in a minute because he only picks locks that take a minute to pick... a 30-minute pick of an extremely high-end lock wouldn't be a good fit for his format
AFAIK the standard is about "on-site" picking without preparation. LPL kinda always have the time to prepare and usually not picking the lock in installed form, so it doesn't count. That's said, more recent years the topic in China has kinda shifted to electronic locks due to a guy able to zap a lock (literally) open. Still, that's also years since that happened so newer locks probably aren't as vulnerable.
The key concept of the yuema 750 and 760 locks is pretty simple: They add an extra layer of protection (their sidebars) that is NOT actuated by the tension, but by an inaccessible weak spring. Most lock exploits depend on forcefully trying to actuate the mechanism, so that the pins are forced to stay in a disengaged position once they get there. That weak spring takes out the forcefulness out of the equation.
Agreed; plus his mastery of English is pretty impeccable as well. Sometimes YT suggests stuff for us that we might never find otherwise. He's got a great sense of humor too; making learning about Chinese locks more "fun."
Do you have an interest in lock picking, coding/pen.testing/digital security, or deviantollam? Wondering by what Avenue RU-vid brought this to you... (Which will likely affect your level of interest at my following suggestion.) If you do a search for "DEFCON[#]" pound sign is a number variable. Sub any number under 25 or so, and you'll be treated to all manner of interesting talks like this (this might be from one, as I think about it.) They are full of great talks about all sorts of topics underneath a larger umbrella of security and hacking. There is an interest in the hacking community for lock picking and non-destructive/bypass entry... depending on your interets, flesh out the search by dropping the #, and adding your subset of interest. See whatcha find! Fantastic stuff. Lots of videos available on YT. Happy hunting. Cheers !!
@@SlayerO013 Bill also said he's not on LPL's level. He considers LPL as good as the best out there aka Kokomo and others I can't recall. It's in the very first vid of LPL's 'Naughty Bucket Chronicles' IIRC. His success at beating al of those locks that Bill couldn't only confirms that he is better than Bill. Not to downplay Bill's ability. He's extremely good too.
What an enthralling, natural, charisma and ability to keep a cool, colected pace! Fantastic first talk, young man!!! the world better be ready for you!!
The problem I see with most of these locks (at least the "home" versions) is in fact the Euro Cylinder design itself. I'm not sure about in China but I know that normally when you see these locks mounted, they tend to protrude from the doorway. The standard is it should protrude no more than 3mm, but as we all know in physical security, specifically door fitment, it's seldom done correctly. This enables people to grab the lock with a pair of pliers like ChanelLocks, and snap the lock. It snaps where the center mounting point is. This allows the cylinder to be spun and unlock the door. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong specifically on the Chinese designs.
Great presentation enjoyable and informative :)Bearing in mind your age I believe you will be able to do anything you set your mind too in the coming years, may fortune smile upon your journey :)
This started off as a horrible presentation but whoever was in the audience interjecting made the kid comfortable and made this a really interesting good talk.
Did anyone catch his use of the phrase : 'Well, let me pull myself out of the "Depths of Tartarus" ? He said it when he got stuck with getting the camera to show a picture of a key. I'm amazed. He's 16, probably born in China, and he already has knowledge of the Greeks, their Gods and Myths. I looked it up. It is an exp0ression that says I am in deep suffering now, like Tartarus in the Greek Underworld. Amazing at 16.
ask some kids in their 20's these days lol, we learned about greek mythology at 10 ish through the percy jackson books, and later getting curious about the myths the books were based on. lots of interesting mythos and historical events are freely available these days. Also with his name and accent i would say he isnt from china
Kid is 21, maybe 22 now. Wow. It was a pretty good talk considering his age, I know I've given far worse talks at an older age than that! I would've been terrified to speak at a con at that age.
I think guys at these conventions like the questions, I believe people do this often, several times per talk... Imagine something like apple release events being like this!
It means they're interested. Probably not a bad thing. It only looks weird for us because we getting the video version with only one mic, and not the full experience as if we were there.
It's still pretty rare, but I found some dudes selling those on Taobao in China for about 260 yuan (40 bucks). However, the wafer locking technology itself is pretty standard now. All new Yuema security cores features it.
I pick Abloy! I sure would love to add the JIAWEI to the list. I think it would be easier to pick because you only need to manipulate that tooth, you do not need the complete profile to manipulate the discs. Some cool locks.
@19:58 huh? I'm the average Joe, and, since you're asking, I would say the one on the left looks more secure (which is apparently correct). I guess I watch more LPL and Deviant Ollam than than the average Joe, but that's made me less confident of locks across the board. It hasn't really affected the way I judge locks relative to eachother.
14:36 ....that's a silly question. it's not some random 'A is lower quality that B for no real reason' situation, nor is it rare to see things ranked in such a way. ..if you don't agree, go buy a Mercedes E class and trade it straight across for an A Class of the same year.....then wonder why the other guy was laughing as he sped away at speed your A Class sedan can't hit.....
For a first major presentation, not bad. I had to do something like that several times each semester because the UTTyler enginering college was focused on creating communicators. Which was a coincidence for me, I came from phone tech support and went on to a furtive air traffic control course. I really should just dictate presentation on RU-vid, I have the voice and skills. Or go into standup, since ATC eliminated any fear of public speaking.
Must say I don´t agree with the statement: " - You can´t pick what you can´t see!" Well you can feel it and use your intuition, so why shouldn´t you be able to pick it? That sounds as the same as to say that lockpicking wouldn´t even be existing because you can´t see inside the lock when picking it.
@La Nausée there are a lot of cases where if you don't know how to attach a specific lock and how the internals work, you don't really have a chance to figure it out unless you take apart the lock
The C key displaces something inside the lock, like ball bearings, which prevent the A key from working. I just pulled this off an Australian website after a quick trip to the Googler. Maybe the final key is longer than the contractor key? What prevents somebody from modifying a contractor key to work like the final key? I dunno, I dropped out of college and make food for a living 🤷
Yeah, but there are exceptions to that. Cosmic rays from the sun can interfere with electronics and corrupt single bits of data. I know, it sounds like another tinfoil hat theory but it's, true, google it. I've seen some guy on youtube play with hard drives and big magnets, digging in single bits and he captured some value being changed and the returned back to original. It wasn't the magnet because the value would have stayed changed if it was, so it must have been either cosmic ray or hardware error. Anyway, it's just a small exception, you'd have to copy a file million times and then get lucky to really corrupt it.
He probably just didn't include compression in that sentence. That if you upload an image online and it gets downloaded, reuploaded, downloaded again repeat Then it will just get mutilated
Grimshaw Grummage That, and in a lot of the US, learning how to lock pick is actually illegal. Just having the tools to do so is a crime, as it “shows intent” somehow.
Most states seem to be ok with it from what I have seen. I have heard of some odd stipulations though such as.... Picks being found on a person while committing a misdemeanor = free upgrade to felony because you are just that awesome. lol Can't remember where that was from though but it does sound less than pleasant. Intent is a major factor with the legality and must be shown. Picks themselves do not show intent any more than a hammer shows intent just because sometimes assholes use them to break windows and steal other people's shit. I admit that other than GA, its been quite awhile since I have looked into legality in other states and things could be very different now so...... Best advise is to check the laws for your state and even local laws/ city ordinances before purchasing picks..... or getting inventive with windshield wiper inserts and a trusty bobbypin bent in all the right places.
