@@ch4.hayabusa You can't buy needles in texas without a prescription, due to drog paraphernalia laws. In my country there is a law that you can't sell, buy or fabricate lockpicks for a similar reason. If they catch you with one, it is pressuposed you have them with the intent to commit a crime and you have to prove you have no criminal intent. Guilty until proven innocent. You will just have to buy online, and be ok with possibly breaking the law. Needless to say, this is not legal advice.
@@Alkis05 Honestly you could just get a small craft syringe instead. Its more about control of the alcohol than the syringe 'piercing' anything. It'll probably a bit more messy than what LPL did but you'll basically get the same effect
@@ch4.hayabusa The 95% ethanol from the bottle shop is suitable. Empty syringes and blunt needle tips are commonly used in the electronics industry. Try a soldering supply house or eBay.
It depends on the nature of the challenge. If goal of the challenge is *purely* to test whether you can break in, then sure. If the goal of the challenge is to test a certain skill-set or skill level, then you can absolutely apply any arbitrary rules you want (e.g.: their 3 minute rule) and disqualify violations of those rules as "cheating". Just depends on the goal of the challenge and any rules we don't know about that they established ahead of time.

I'm working on this model of lock right now. After only a few hours, spread over a few days, I can confidently manipulate each disc - but I cannot, as yet, feel the feedback that LPL makes seem so darn obvious and easy. I'm hoping to get the feel for it within 100 hours over the next couple of months.
Should have opened the lock, put a solid washer on the shackle, and sent it back with the sticker intact. Let the guy figure that one out. Lol, good show LPL, I appreciate you.
How scared must that guy who sent him a tracking device be now! LPL knows you tried some shady shit! You still don't know where he is, but I'm sure, given everything we've seen him do, he will find you! And now you wait for the man who can bypass any lock, owns guns and is a LAWYER to make his next move! Someone should make a suspense/thriller movie about what this guy must be thinking lmfaooooo
@@JS-rv3et I was assuming he used a fake return address if he included one at all. It's LPL though... if he REALLY wanted to, I think he could find him was my point 😉

A true lawyer Derives extreme fun and satisfaction by finding ways to bend the rules and demonstrate how a bit of creative interpretation can get you very far!
You could tell by his voice that he genuinely liked the challenge. Seeing a tamper resistant label being removed and then being put back on was an extra bonus of fun. Some how you made my day. BTW I saw no cheating here. What I saw was knowledge used wisely.
I think he meant that he was showing he could have cheated off camera because he was demonstrating he could remove and replace the sticker without it falling apart but I obviously don't think he would cheat anyways
the cheating on the rules the viewer said... Because he was confident he could beat it (as he said he already had several of those locks), he didn't time it and sent it back to him anyway. He decided to use it pure because of the smart thinking, and the tamper sticker was a good chance to prove even something as common as a tamper sticker can be defeated.
I started picking locks a couple years ago after watching a couple of your videos, you are the GOAT at picking locks and I have learned alot from your videos, thanks man.
It’s a good note for other online personalities who use PO Boxes to help obscure their identities. Tracking devices (I’m assuming an AirTag) are pretty cheap and pretty much disposable now. Assume anything people send could be “bugged” and act accordingly. A determined bad actor could even arrange a stake-out of a PO Box. If you have to do this, consider a remailing service that opens and thoroughly checks for anything untoward before forwarding it along, and even then take precautions.
I don't know how, but the algorithm suggested a video of yours from over a year ago so I decided to watch it. 4 hours later and I'm still watching. Luckily I didn't have to work today. These are some of the most satisfying videos I've ever had the pleasure of bingeing! Liked and subbed after 2 minutes!
I have been watching your videos for years. I tip my hat off to you fella for showing us all how unsafe locks are really. Keep up the great work and God bless too. Peace vf
your attention to detail and techniques are amazing the sticker was upside down lol but that's fine! you intended to tear it off to teach us thank you for that!
those stickers are not enforceable (at least in europe, even if those stickers are peeled warranty must be upheld until they can prove the device was tampered with.
@@tugahenrik1 Last year, I've bought a laptop which acted somewhat fishy, even though I've bought it at a respectable store and it was a well-known brand. Box was sealed too. So after I've taken it apart very carefully (to check like WTF is happening with it), I've noticed that the warranty sticker was... pre-teared, if I might say. Talk about customer service! Then I've noticed that there's a huge design error made in the cooling, so I've put everything back together and returned it.
really sorry to hear about the tracking device situation. some people have to be freaks and ruin everything for the rest of us. well, anyway, great video as always!

Today I have learned more about tamper seals than locks and that's gonna be extremely helpful. Thanks LPL! (For the record, it's not like I don't need to know about locks, just I already know loads about then from every other video)
@@TheCorshipWhy? He didn't remove the sticker from the cartoon, as it is told! He just removed the cartoon from the sticker, which he had to, to show how poor of a security measure it is😜
I still think that's a pretty good lock. Took much longer than a lot of them and used a highly specialized tool. Given that LPL isnt part of my threat model, I figure it's pretty safe.
Many skilled locksmiths will know this technique and have a similar tool and some of them may be part of your threat model. But I do agree this is a pretty decent lock. Will stop the average lockpicker. Just be aware that many thieves will carry a battery powered grinder and just grind off the lock or latch anyway. So cover those over with hardened steel to make the job too much effort for them to bother. My father welded a hardened steel box that fits over and around the latch and lock on a shipping container with the bottom of the box open so you can put the key up into the lock. Makes it really hard to grind the latch.
This is so hilarious. LPL is just the embodiment of chaotic neutral. He get's asked to try to pick the lock, for security it's locked by a tamper-seal. Not only does he prove he would be able to remove the seal without any sign, he continues to destroy the seal later just to prove its normal function. Then he doesn't just pick the lock, he does under the given timelimit. Then he doesn't keep the lock, but sends it back anyway. LPL, you are a madman and we all love you for it.
@@nknumero I guess you are new to youtube then. Idk why we make these sensibles assumptions, but hey. And tbf, ive been watching his Videos for 3-4 years now, idk what your comment is trying to achieve
Hey, LPL did have to bring an addition tool though. And a tool full of stuff that he would need to refill. So they do make it less likely that your stuff got tampered.
@@novicedroner2629 they're still useful for certified devices like medical equipment, where unauthorised modification can be extremely harmful. For warranties though, absolutely, they're just something to scare people.
I fail to understand this challenge? If we are trying to pick a lock to gain entry, what will a tamper sticker do? That sticker is not keeping the door locked, and the first thing a real burglar would do is poke a hole in that sticker. So what was the point again? If he wanted him to pick the lock without using the keyhole? To prove what? Why not weld the lock shut? It will prevent him from picking it, but it would also make it impossible to use the lock, so again, pointless.
@@alphagt62 I believe it's more of a, "no one has tampered with the lock from me to you." It was in no way a challenge to LPL, but he felt the need to challenge himself and explain how warranty stickers are easily beaten.
@@daveyognaught9784 it definitely *was* a challenge to LPL lol First of all, no one is going to tamper with the lock mid-travel, that doesn't make any sense. Second, if someone did, what could they do? Open it? Reclose it? It's not like theyre gonna repin it and send it back along to LPL or something :'D The whole point of the tamper sticker was to know for sure whether LPL had gotten the lock and then practiced on it learning how to defeat it quickly, that's the entire reason people want to send him sealed packages, it's part of the challenge. Obviously he killed the challenge either way, but the sticker was definitely entirely for him.
I'm going to look up how a disk lock works. I'm intrigued that you had to use a special tool I've never seen before to get this lock open. This might be one of the more secure padlock due to so few knowing how to open just the normal locks, let alone ones like these. Thank you LPL. It's always a treat to watch your videos and I think it's long over due that I subscribe already. 😁😉
In my (different) business I tell my customers that anything is possible given enough of my time and enough of their money. Once they discover the cost, their inquiry almost always gets rescinded.

Afterall he is trying to be as transparent as possible with the process. Also, printing an email takes about 10 secs. Still faster than editing in a screenshot. My dad would simply point the camera at his display to show us the email. 🤣
@@CynHicks Printing it out and then later setting it up in the video is probably way more effort than editing it in in post using a quick Windows+Shift+S (or the equivalent for other OSes). About 3 seconds to take a snippet, and 5 seconds to change windows and paste it into a video editor of choice, with at most 20 seconds for setting how long it appears, where it appears, et cetera. Printing it out also requires taking a snippet, changing windows, etc., plus the time it takes to print and then smoothly integrating the print into the video, which isn't necessarily hard, but still higher effort due to the fact that you have added an extra factor of failure in an one-shot video. Not saying editing is easy, it's not, but in this particular case it is.

I was thinking he should open the lock, lock something with it, put the tamper seal back, and return the lock along with the attached locked item. But putting it back to show us the seal actually does work if not defeated was nice, too.
@@tsuchan I'd think he would have gotten the lock back before the video was posted. Most creators have several videos made in advance. I don't know if LPL does that or not.
I believe that that is exactly what would give him away, if it's too perfect then it limits the possible thieves to the one person who would put it back just so he could take it again to prove "it's not a fluke"...
Dude, gotta love LPL. "There's this expensive lock with tamperproof sticker!", - videos is literally seven minutes long. And more than half of it was spent on talking about the lock, rather than picking it.
Please consider the prize for finding LPL in his home without an invitation. He is a heavily security minded individual who trains with firearms. For your own safety, leave the man in peace.

Duck tape is more water-resistant, so it's better suited for doors (and coincidentally, ducks) than duct tape. ...also, there is duck tape which _is_ designed for use on ducts (it handles high and low temperatures better than standard duck tape), so "duck duct tape" also exists.

If they can prove I broke it, then they shouldn't have to repair it, if they can't prove I broke it and I paid for a warranty or am still within the free warranty then they should repair it.

How does one get them in Texas? I needed some for a project once and to my surprise I couldnt buy them from pharmacies. Its incredible I can get a a liter of 95% food grade ethanol, but I cant get tiny metal funnel... im sure I can get them on the internet, I cant imagine possession of them would be illegal
@@ch4.hayabusa try hardware stores, isopropyl alcohol is also a common name for it, it shouldn't be hard to find (you might need to buy a syringe separately though)
@@ch4.hayabusa You can't buy needles in texas without a prescription, due to drog paraphernalia laws. In my country there is a law that you can't sell, buy or fabricate lockpicks for a similar reason. If they catch you with one, it is pressuposed you have them with the intent to commit a crime and you have to prove you have no criminal intent. Guilty until proven innocent.
You will just have to buy online, and be ok with possibly breaking the law.
Needless to say, this is not legal advice.
@@Alkis05 Honestly you could just get a small craft syringe instead. Its more about control of the alcohol than the syringe 'piercing' anything. It'll probably a bit more messy than what LPL did but you'll basically get the same effect
@@ch4.hayabusa The 95% ethanol from the bottle shop is suitable. Empty syringes and blunt needle tips are commonly used in the electronics industry. Try a soldering supply house or eBay.
I nearly died laughing at this. You have become far too powerful.
No cheating, there is no cheating when it comes to stealing/breaking in to things. You break into it, you win.
It depends on the nature of the challenge. If goal of the challenge is *purely* to test whether you can break in, then sure. If the goal of the challenge is to test a certain skill-set or skill level, then you can absolutely apply any arbitrary rules you want (e.g.: their 3 minute rule) and disqualify violations of those rules as "cheating". Just depends on the goal of the challenge and any rules we don't know about that they established ahead of time.

That’s a good idea lol would of been funny
"did... Did he shim this? Did I pay top dollar for a knock off?!"

You could tell by his voice that he genuinely liked the challenge. Seeing a tamper resistant label being removed and then being put back on was an extra bonus of fun. Some how you made my day. BTW I saw no cheating here. What I saw was knowledge used wisely.
Not cheating, just bending the rules
I think he meant that he was showing he could have cheated off camera because he was demonstrating he could remove and replace the sticker without it falling apart but I obviously don't think he would cheat anyways
the cheating on the rules the viewer said... Because he was confident he could beat it (as he said he already had several of those locks), he didn't time it and sent it back to him anyway. He decided to use it pure because of the smart thinking, and the tamper sticker was a good chance to prove even something as common as a tamper sticker can be defeated.
Well, I think the cheating part implies that this could have been second try.
Yup, props to Ben

It’s a good note for other online personalities who use PO Boxes to help obscure their identities. Tracking devices (I’m assuming an AirTag) are pretty cheap and pretty much disposable now. Assume anything people send could be “bugged” and act accordingly. A determined bad actor could even arrange a stake-out of a PO Box. If you have to do this, consider a remailing service that opens and thoroughly checks for anything untoward before forwarding it along, and even then take precautions.

@@Bummsnickl so should I consider stickers?
Many skilled locksmiths will know this technique and have a similar tool and some of them may be part of your threat model. But I do agree this is a pretty decent lock. Will stop the average lockpicker. Just be aware that many thieves will carry a battery powered grinder and just grind off the lock or latch anyway. So cover those over with hardened steel to make the job too much effort for them to bother.
My father welded a hardened steel box that fits over and around the latch and lock on a shipping container with the bottom of the box open so you can put the key up into the lock. Makes it really hard to grind the latch.

Not only does he prove he would be able to remove the seal without any sign, he continues to destroy the seal later just to prove its normal function.
Then he doesn't just pick the lock, he does under the given timelimit.
Then he doesn't keep the lock, but sends it back anyway.

Good!
Those stickers can't be used to invalidate a warranty claim in the US anyway thanks to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, so it only acts as a deterrent.
Hair dryer or, better, a precision heat gun is better since some stickers are paper based, applying any solvent may damage it.
@@novicedroner2629 they're still useful for certified devices like medical equipment, where unauthorised modification can be extremely harmful. For warranties though, absolutely, they're just something to scare people.
Disabling a tamper seal still needs specialized tools, and is conspicuous as heck if you are caught with a syringe full of alcohol
Ben: "I put an anti-tamper sticker over the keyhole."
LPL: "Challenge accepted."
Yes I also watched the video
I fail to understand this challenge? If we are trying to pick a lock to gain entry, what will a tamper sticker do? That sticker is not keeping the door locked, and the first thing a real burglar would do is poke a hole in that sticker. So what was the point again? If he wanted him to pick the lock without using the keyhole? To prove what? Why not weld the lock shut? It will prevent him from picking it, but it would also make it impossible to use the lock, so again, pointless.
@@alphagt62 I believe it's more of a, "no one has tampered with the lock from me to you." It was in no way a challenge to LPL, but he felt the need to challenge himself and explain how warranty stickers are easily beaten.

@@daveyognaught9784 it definitely *was* a challenge to LPL lol First of all, no one is going to tamper with the lock mid-travel, that doesn't make any sense. Second, if someone did, what could they do? Open it? Reclose it? It's not like theyre gonna repin it and send it back along to LPL or something :'D The whole point of the tamper sticker was to know for sure whether LPL had gotten the lock and then practiced on it learning how to defeat it quickly, that's the entire reason people want to send him sealed packages, it's part of the challenge. Obviously he killed the challenge either way, but the sticker was definitely entirely for him.
I'm going to look up how a disk lock works. I'm intrigued that you had to use a special tool I've never seen before to get this lock open. This might be one of the more secure padlock due to so few knowing how to open just the normal locks, let alone ones like these. Thank you LPL. It's always a treat to watch your videos and I think it's long over due that I subscribe already. 😁😉
Watching elite craft of any kind is amazing and this is above and beyond
One thing I've learned from LPL is with the right tools and know how, there are very few tasks that are actually impossible.
And it the tool is not there, he will make it.
In my (different) business I tell my customers that anything is possible given enough of my time and enough of their money. Once they discover the cost, their inquiry almost always gets rescinded.
If a human invented it, a human can defeat it, lol.
Everything is hackable. It's just a matter of how, and how long.
No matter how good a design is, the attacker has the advantage because the designer is no longer present.
God I love how he prints out emails to physically show them on camera 😂. LPL is like everyone’s dad
Idk. Digital video editing tools have around since at least I was a kid and I'm 45.
Seriously though, his type of content is better without too much editing. Afterall he is trying to be as transparent as possible with the process. Also, printing an email takes about 10 secs. Still faster than editing in a screenshot.
My dad would simply point the camera at his display to show us the email. 🤣
@@CynHicks Printing it out and then later setting it up in the video is probably way more effort than editing it in in post using a quick Windows+Shift+S (or the equivalent for other OSes). About 3 seconds to take a snippet, and 5 seconds to change windows and paste it into a video editor of choice, with at most 20 seconds for setting how long it appears, where it appears, et cetera. Printing it out also requires taking a snippet, changing windows, etc., plus the time it takes to print and then smoothly integrating the print into the video, which isn't necessarily hard, but still higher effort due to the fact that you have added an extra factor of failure in an one-shot video. Not saying editing is easy, it's not, but in this particular case it is.

It would have been a real mystery for Ben if LPL had sent the lock back opened and with the sticker in place.
I was thinking he should open the lock, lock something with it, put the tamper seal back, and return the lock along with the attached locked item. But putting it back to show us the seal actually does work if not defeated was nice, too.
Perhaps not when he watched the video.

If LPL ever decided to be evil, no one of his victims will ever know how their stuff got stolen.
I believe that that is exactly what would give him away, if it's too perfect then it limits the possible thieves to the one person who would put it back just so he could take it again to prove "it's not a fluke"...

@@1971merlin I'm obligated to point out that "duck tape" (made from cotton duck cloth with a rubber/plastic/polyethylene coating) and "duct tape" (made from adhesive metal foil) are _both_ real things, and are two completely different kinds of tape. Duck tape tends to disintegrate over time when applied to ducts, which is why duct tape should be used _on ducts_ instead. Duck tape is more water-resistant, so it's better suited for doors (and coincidentally, ducks) than duct tape.
...also, there is duck tape which _is_ designed for use on ducts (it handles high and low temperatures better than standard duck tape), so "duck duct tape" also exists.
LPL: "Best day of my life: I've received a lock with a tamper sticker on it in the mail"
It's like when you can finally use a meme you've been holding.
Really enjoy your videos. Really want get Lil starter setup and start practicing. This has got to be asmr for me never knew meaning of it this has got to be the feeling people get when something is asmr for them
I regularly come by to watch this video again. This video is just so awesome.
I wouldn't even know how to start on that.
This man could crack the universe in a weekend if he was bored enough
Bold of you to assume he did not.
@@Bigal3031 he picked it, pulled it apart and put it back together before anyone knew what happened.
We need to keep sending him locks so he doesnt become bored and get too powerful

[Universe disappears in a poof, only to come back the way it was]
"Let's do that again to prove this wasn't a fluke."
This is yet another reason why anti-tamper seals are bogus on so many levels. Excellent video as always.
They do make anti-tamper stickers that are better than those.
Why would you mess with something when it's still within the warranty period?
@@thorham1346 some guy added a headphone jack to the first iphone model that removed them. Why should that void his warranty for other non related damage?
@@MegaLokopo Because you're still modifying the device. If you have problems, Apple can't be sure if you caused them or they did... and why should they repair your mess up?
I also don't get people's fascination with the headphone jack. Dead tech is dead.
@@SnowyRVulpix Innocent until proven guilty. If they can prove I broke it, then they shouldn't have to repair it, if they can't prove I broke it and I paid for a warranty or am still within the free warranty then they should repair it.
Apple also has a history of releasing products with major flaws in every unit they produced and not fixing the mechanism they made with a major design flaw for customers who paid for the warranty because they opened up the device, for a completely unrelated reason.
The audio quality you can get from a headphone jack is far higher than you can get wirelessly. The problem with using a dongle is the added complexity of different standards and the different dac locations in different brands cables. aux cables are universal assuming the connector fits.
What a demonstration of insane fine motor control!

Bro just summed school
Love that LPL picks the lock fast enough that it's a concern that it hasn't been long enough for the solvent to evaporate from the sticker.
