Would really enjoy seeing a series (or maybe a second channel) just showing how you come up with the exploits for different locks. Not necessarily every lock, but the ones with more interesting brainstorming sessions (finding multiple vulnerabilities, finding evidence that a method of attack was actually thought of, etc.). Awesome video as always :)
Fairly new subscriber here. It appears to me after watching some of your videos that most locks are to "keep honest people honest." I thought I knew locks pretty well, I bow to your superiority.
Very nice. The video that is. These "lock makers" have really gotta stop including externally accessible screws/panels that reveal the guts of these things. They aren't locks, they're a puzzle with an easy solution. Cheers for a good bypass video!
Aye, especially when they are this cheap. Both of those attack vectors would be ruined by one way or breakaway screws. Then you'd have to drill the screws out.
@@jonathanfairchild Agreed. So many of them seem like they're more about being a cool techy thing to show your friends than actually lock something. Feel like the sort of thing you'd use their level of security on is the sort of thing where the lock costs as much as what you're securing. Its like why would i use this weak of a lock when instead i could replace whatever got stolen instead for the same price?
This. This. More of this please. Love to see the thinking and approach to these locks... yeah the 3 second ones are certainly entertaining and dont stop doing those, but add this dimension occasionally and i think you would hook more viewers... certainly worked on me...
These are truly some of the highest quality videos on the internet. The information, the format, LPL's delivery, all of it. This channel is fantastic, for lock pickers and non lock pickers alike. Practical and scientific all together.
So with an attack like this, you would have a second undamaged lock for the video right? Do you usually plan ahead and order tow of the same locks just in case or will you re-order the lock?
@@rcytray Actually this video seems to be a good demo too. That set contains only miniature bits, and if those whitstand these abuse, then it must be a good quality set.
man, I'd love to see you do this for multiple types of locks. the video is not too long and quite interesting. having you walk us through your thought process is very nice.
I'll be honest - this is one of my favourites from you. The locks done fast thing is neat, but the exploration is super cool. I'd be happy if you did all of your videos like this going forward.
I bought that driver set after seeing in another video of yours and having someone ID it for me. Best little driver set I have ever owned and its quite obvious why it won a prestigious design award.
This was one of your best videos yet.. it reminds me of the early videos.. please make a couple videos like this out of every ten or so. Frankly, you have a beautifully analytical mind and its a pleasure to watch it in action!
Never seen before to opened in less than 5 minutes, including video intro. Nice. I never suspected it took you that long with most of these, but this just reinforces the fact that anyone with some ingenuity and basic tools could defeat most of these locks.
Hi, two questions: 1. Wouldn't you normally try the intended use of the lock first to look for less destructive exploits? 2. Would you normally buy two locks, so you can start with a fresh lock on the video? Thanks.
I don't think there are less destructive exploits since it is a fingerprint lock. The only thing I can imagine is shimming, but that wouldn't make a fun video.
@@fedorboendermaker1536 I was thinking a strong magnet might be able to open it, but seems like the wrong kind of motor. maybe I'm dumb but seemed like one that would've been good to try
@@Archimedes.5000 maybe the non-destructive way would work, but then it's a 1.5 minutes long video, out of which 45 seconds are LPL telling us how bad it is and 35 seconds are showing as the lock and the "tools" he's gonna use
The calm in your voice alone makes this satisfying, I think you could pick apart soapbubbles and I would still watch. Nice to see your work from a new angle.
Nice, cool to see your thought process on taking these apart! Your videos are a good reminder that locks only keep honest people honest, if someone really wants your stuff, they're going to get it!
I have one lock that would be safe, at least from anything short of an angle grinder. It's a disc pad lock with a horrible core, whose mechanism got stuck. You can not even open it with the key, it simply will not turn more than an 1/8 turn. 🙈
Today I pick a loock in my house It was in the service room 🤣 somebody move the lock of the door and we couldnt open the door, we couldnt. Find the keys either so I jump to the rescue, I felt like super man when I open the door. So.... Thank you man I really apreciate it today 🙂
yes, this thinking process is nice to see. That's why I like Louis Rossmann's channel, because you see him trying to figure out stuff. Would like to see more videos like this indeed.
You probably could get away with shorting just one set of contacts instead of two like you showed. Often circuit designers take a shortcut and only control one side of a motor, leaving the other side permanently attached to either the ground reference or the positive voltage supply. (Which one really depends on the switching circuit, whether the switching circuit can supply or sink more current.) But this is only true if the motor only runs in one direction (and uses something like a spring to return it). If the motor runs in both directions, you will need to short two pairs of contacts as you demonstrated.
You right, however this needs a reverse to lock it again, (could a coil spring do this job?), a solenoid type would be ok good but more prone to a magnet attack.
@@thor52916 The fact that the DC motor can go backwards doesn't mean that it does to lock it. All DC motors can go backwards when electricity is supplied in reverse.
The way you "locked" it before closing the shackle seggests it has a spring loaded locking lug so could this be shimmed or rapped open? much quicker and easier and no damage.
I think seeing your thought process and how you go through things definitely adds a lot to your video's. Not saying you should do it with every one, but I really enjoyed this one.
a few observations of my own: i reckon that's just a solenoid just by the sound of it, and i think reversing the polarity didn't do anything to lock it as it would have a flyback diode to protect the circuit from a voltage spike and if that's true then only 1 jumper wire would've opened it since isolating both terminals would use more components, and i also reckon it _might_ be shimmable since there's no active locking (unless they use a square cutout in the shackle if done correctly but doubt it) - one last reckon: probably a magnet can reenact the pull of the solenoid, looks like the solenoid is mounted vertically so probably a magnet on the bottom would do the trick?
Look up other vids of these locks, it's a motor with a planetary gearset. The shackle is sprung, which is why it pops out when unlocked, and that pop noise comes from shackle's retention that keeps it from being removed entirely. Also note the, "I hear the motor move but nothing happened," with the incorrect polarity, and the, "I heard the motor move," while using the music wire, again in the incorrect polarity. This would imply that it is indeed a motor, as you can _hear it move_ and you can _hear it move while in the incorrect polarity._ Not to mention that you can _hear the _*_motor_*_ move,_ as you wouldn't be able to hear _motor noises_ from a solenoid. Plus if it were a solenoid, you'd be hearing the pop no matter the polarity, so there should have been at least four in the video as there were two tests that resulted in incorrect polarity, yet there were no pops, yet he _heard the motor move with incorrect polarity._ Basic logic tells you that your reckoning is incorrect, as the pop noise is not consistent to both polarities, and the noise is described as a motor, not to mention the comment about only needing one jumper wire didn't work in the multiple times the single jumper was used between contacts.
@@xaytana my observations were based on this video alone and my words chosen modestly - when he said he heard a noise, i didn't hear anything at all through headphones, and when he reversed the polarity to "lock" it at 4:44 i also heard no noise from the thing regardless what LPL actually said, surely it would've done if it had been unlocked just prior as it did when it went from locked to unlocked like at 4:17 as gearing would have to move from one position to another - "you wouldn't be able to hear motor noises from a solenoid" no but solenoids make very audible clicking sounds, the sound at 4:17 sounds like a solenoid click to me and not a motor whirring - i did quickly search for another video of this padlock and without digging too deep, jerryrigseverything's video comes up where a prolonged motor whirring is present as he demonstrates the product as is the planetary gearing when it cuts right through it, but idk about LPL's lock - i'd still like to see what else can be done with LPL's lock but he didn't take it apart enough for either of us to say confidently
Hey LPL, I've been watching your videos, and Bosnian Bill's, for a few years now and I love them. But I have to say, I *really* liked this one with its more casual, less scripted format. Seeing "behind the curtain" this way is even more interesting and educational to me. Just IMHO of course, but consider this a vote for more like this.
good for showing people the weakness of the new tech,good guess on te motor wires,you are so smart to do what i love seeing getting it open never fails,cheers!
Well i guess the weak spot isnt just the electronic in there. Just use a Bolt Cutter and this thing will be open easily. Or use the Double Wrench methode! Because the Motor will be probably pretty weak and not hold up so much.
Us: ok you can open the lock in 30 seconds when you know how it works, but surely blind it takes more time right? LPL: 3 minutes from first impressions to unlocked
@@bepowerification with experience taking things like this apart it is quite easy to find something like that in a few minutes. After working in manufacturing it would probably take me only slightly longer, and mostly because I don't have a bench with that type of tools set up.
@@sailor5853 I feel like this lock would be more secure if they just doused the damn thing in epoxy resin instead of little plastic plugs and a face plate held on with a glue stick. Given some of the stuff I've seen on this channel, I was impressed that this lock didn't have the circuit board 100% in the open after puling up the adhesive front plate piece. If they'd have soldered those screws in place or stripped out the heads, this lock wouldn't have been half bad.
@@bepowerification This lock is so poorly designed that the attack path is really obvious at first sight. All black plastic pieces are shouting "Hit me!".
Definitely would enjoy some more videos like this. Helps to show the mentality and how to search for exploits as opposed to just presenting them. Also, nice to have videos on the lengthier side.
Pretty nice to see how you come up with those exploits. BTW, you can probably use a single bridge "wire", since it's likely the motor and battery ground are already connected.
After watching several dozen of your excellent videos, I conclude that most locks are designed to keep out all but the .05% of people (or less) that can crack them, and that’s good enough. The design reaches a point of diminishing returns, where to keep out an ever tinier fraction of elite lock pickers adds enormously to the cost, weight, and probably the complexity of the lock in ways that will never pay for itself in a business model. You have a jaded point of view, since your hard-earned expertise makes you see many of these cheaper locks as “junk” where for the average person they are as sturdy as Fort Knox. I grant that it might be otherwise: that relatively inexpensive and simple changes would make these locks much more pick resistant. If that is the case, then manufacturers have no excuse.
This is dang cool. I've never picked a lock outside of Oblivion/Skyrim but I find your channel so deeply fascinating. This video in particular where I get to hear your thinking process is even cooler than the standard stuff (which itself was already cool).

Best part is the thought process to help get in that mindset of what I need to look at
I'm surprised that the LPL saying "OK lock" didn't already cause the lock to just jump open out of fear of being exposed...
That's what a Google speech recognition lock would do. Open whenever something sounded like "Ok Lock".
Exploit development videos such as this are invaluable, please continue this foray into your stream of consciousness...
Before the video: Must be a fantastic lock, it's taken him 8 minutes to open!
After the video: ...Nah.
And it's an 8 minutes video of him walking to the store, buying the lock, coming back home, analyzing the flaws and opening it.
I think seeing your thought process and how you go through things definitely adds a lot to your video's. Not saying you should do it with every one, but I really enjoyed this one.
a few observations of my own: i reckon that's just a solenoid just by the sound of it, and i think reversing the polarity didn't do anything to lock it as it would have a flyback diode to protect the circuit from a voltage spike and if that's true then only 1 jumper wire would've opened it since isolating both terminals would use more components, and i also reckon it _might_ be shimmable since there's no active locking (unless they use a square cutout in the shackle if done correctly but doubt it) - one last reckon: probably a magnet can reenact the pull of the solenoid, looks like the solenoid is mounted vertically so probably a magnet on the bottom would do the trick?
*insert Elon Musk "nerd" tweet here*
all jokes aside, love to see someone geek out
Look up other vids of these locks, it's a motor with a planetary gearset. The shackle is sprung, which is why it pops out when unlocked, and that pop noise comes from shackle's retention that keeps it from being removed entirely.
Also note the, "I hear the motor move but nothing happened," with the incorrect polarity, and the, "I heard the motor move," while using the music wire, again in the incorrect polarity. This would imply that it is indeed a motor, as you can _hear it move_ and you can _hear it move while in the incorrect polarity._ Not to mention that you can _hear the _*_motor_*_ move,_ as you wouldn't be able to hear _motor noises_ from a solenoid. Plus if it were a solenoid, you'd be hearing the pop no matter the polarity, so there should have been at least four in the video as there were two tests that resulted in incorrect polarity, yet there were no pops, yet he _heard the motor move with incorrect polarity._ Basic logic tells you that your reckoning is incorrect, as the pop noise is not consistent to both polarities, and the noise is described as a motor, not to mention the comment about only needing one jumper wire didn't work in the multiple times the single jumper was used between contacts.
@@xaytana my observations were based on this video alone and my words chosen modestly - when he said he heard a noise, i didn't hear anything at all through headphones, and when he reversed the polarity to "lock" it at 4:44 i also heard no noise from the thing regardless what LPL actually said, surely it would've done if it had been unlocked just prior as it did when it went from locked to unlocked like at 4:17 as gearing would have to move from one position to another - "you wouldn't be able to hear motor noises from a solenoid" no but solenoids make very audible clicking sounds, the sound at 4:17 sounds like a solenoid click to me and not a motor whirring - i did quickly search for another video of this padlock and without digging too deep, jerryrigseverything's video comes up where a prolonged motor whirring is present as he demonstrates the product as is the planetary gearing when it cuts right through it, but idk about LPL's lock - i'd still like to see what else can be done with LPL's lock but he didn't take it apart enough for either of us to say confidently
Nice to see some modern tech and electricity involved

He needs an explosion proof pie pan to put the parts in.
Or of course the big standard swingpress (I know this has been said already but swingpress)
@@dsloop3907 ahh yes, the explosion containment pie dish
Hey LPL, I've been watching your videos, and Bosnian Bill's, for a few years now and I love them. But I have to say, I *really* liked this one with its more casual, less scripted format. Seeing "behind the curtain" this way is even more interesting and educational to me. Just IMHO of course, but consider this a vote for more like this.
If you don't mind, could you let us know the screwdriver you used?

I think Nick Shabazz has the same set.
@@wileecoyote5749 its about beeing max fanboi
good for showing people the weakness of the new tech,good guess on te motor wires,you are so smart to do what i love seeing getting it open never fails,cheers!
Well i guess the weak spot isnt just the electronic in there. Just use a Bolt Cutter and this thing will be open easily. Or use the Double Wrench methode! Because the Motor will be probably pretty weak and not hold up so much.

This is what being an expert in your craft looks like.
Us: ok you can open the lock in 30 seconds when you know how it works, but surely blind it takes more time right?
LPL: 3 minutes from first impressions to unlocked
Even though, screws are the only things that seems to slow down that man.
You really think he didnt test this with another lock first? People are naive..
@@bepowerification with experience taking things like this apart it is quite easy to find something like that in a few minutes. After working in manufacturing it would probably take me only slightly longer, and mostly because I don't have a bench with that type of tools set up.
@@sailor5853 I feel like this lock would be more secure if they just doused the damn thing in epoxy resin instead of little plastic plugs and a face plate held on with a glue stick. Given some of the stuff I've seen on this channel, I was impressed that this lock didn't have the circuit board 100% in the open after puling up the adhesive front plate piece. If they'd have soldered those screws in place or stripped out the heads, this lock wouldn't have been half bad.
@@bepowerification This lock is so poorly designed that the attack path is really obvious at first sight. All black plastic pieces are shouting "Hit me!".
I appreciate both versions. Full length exploration and the abbreviated zero to sixty sprint.
A heat gun would probably allow destruction free disassembly. That's my guess
for the front panel, a plastic spudger may have worked better.
Your videos are like my morning coffee, can't start my day without it.
“Behind the curtain” still so damn embarrassing to that lousy lock manufacturer!! 👍 awesome work
Definitely would enjoy some more videos like this. Helps to show the mentality and how to search for exploits as opposed to just presenting them.
Also, nice to have videos on the lengthier side.
Pretty nice to see how you come up with those exploits.
BTW, you can probably use a single bridge "wire", since it's likely the motor and battery ground are already connected.
Given that the motor probably needs to turn one direction to unlock and the other way to re-lock, most likely that's not the case.
@@EnricoConca yep driven by an H bridge.
@@EnricoConca Oh, yeah, hadn't thought of that. I thought it was a single acting configuration.
I was finally able to finnish my popcorn during one of your videos, usually it takes like 30 seconds to get it open :)
I dunno what I expected. It basically takes you 7 minutes.
Right...7 min, I was like OMG its a titan of locks. But i liked it
It’s actually like three of four
4:20 actually

@@texaswilliam OMG William sexualizing a padlock is filthy and degenerate. Keep the good job.
You absolute legend. What a great video, always going in New directions to entertain and educate.
After watching several dozen of your excellent videos, I conclude that most locks are designed to keep out all but the .05% of people (or less) that can crack them, and that’s good enough. The design reaches a point of diminishing returns, where to keep out an ever tinier fraction of elite lock pickers adds enormously to the cost, weight, and probably the complexity of the lock in ways that will never pay for itself in a business model. You have a jaded point of view, since your hard-earned expertise makes you see many of these cheaper locks as “junk” where for the average person they are as sturdy as Fort Knox. I grant that it might be otherwise: that relatively inexpensive and simple changes would make these locks much more pick resistant. If that is the case, then manufacturers have no excuse.
This style of video is so fun! More like it, please😊

This video format is really great, thank you for sharing LPL!

Whoa!!! An LPL video longer than 8 minutes! I’m ‘bout to binge watch this bad boy!!
when he doesn't say "in any case, that's all I have for you today"
😲
This is dang cool. I've never picked a lock outside of Oblivion/Skyrim but I find your channel so deeply fascinating. This video in particular where I get to hear your thinking process is even cooler than the standard stuff (which itself was already cool).
Feels like I just watched a classified video from an intelligence agency.
Feedback wise, this is awesome content. I really just want to hear you speak more about locks, the longer the videos go, I feel the more I learn.
What kind of screwdriver set is that? Great video!

Ok, close enough.
