[1044] Opened With FORK: Vaultek LifePod Gun Safe

[@vaulteksafe]

Vaultek stands behind our customers and products 100%. We are aware of the exploit, and shortly after the release of this video (February 2020) we put in place effective solutions to address Lifepod's programming function. We sent free upgrade kits to existing customers, and all LifePods produced and shipping since then have been upgraded with new firmware to disable the program button when locked. We're listening and will make every effort to continually improve our products. Any additional inquiries can be directed to our support team for more information.

[@bjfincher773]

Physical security is always just a matter of time and force. No physical security is ever going to be resilient to the ultimately equipped and determined attacker. But is the security measure good enough that overcoming it takes too much time and/or force to be worthwhile to expected attackers? If so, it's a good physical security measure. In that sense, a paper envelope is almost always an adequate physical security measure to protect the information inside. Very little time and effort to attack, but the contents very likely have virtually no value to anyone but the intended recipient. What LPL does is show up physical security that falls short of its requirements. A small Master Lock on an expensive bike is probably worse physical security than a paper envelope. Given how important it is to guard firearms, gun safes should be held at a much higher standard.

It looks like the lock can't check whether the lid is closed or not. That wouldn't matter much if the button was actually inaccessible from the outside, but there we are. A way to fix that in software would be to require the current code when the reset button is pushed before allowing to punch in a new code.

One of these days we'll hear "This is the lockpicking lawyer and I will open this lock by giving it a mean look."

[@UpcycleElectronics]

The real question: "Is this just a software issue?" If I were on the board of directors for this company I would have this fixed and a pre-production revision in the mail to LPL within 24 hours, with a few hundred dollars cash inside a locked box and a nice note challenging him to try again. If the microcontroller inside has a reliable method of detecting that the system is locked and closed, then it will be very easy to disable the button when the box is closed. If this is done, and the barrel lock can be disabled digitally, the only potential way to open a box after forgetting the code will be either destructive, or waiting on the battery to discharge assuming someone was smart enough to create a battery discharge threshold that relinquishes control to the mechanical lock before shutting down from low power. The circuit that takes control might be some kind of latching relay that only requires power to change states, (or maybe not, as that has it's own magnetic attack vulnerabilities). If a relay like circuit is not flipped due to low battery life, I think the only way left to get inside is destructive. -Jake

I think you buried the lede. The real question is: "Is there a microswitch to detect if the lid is open?" It might be easy to explain how to and update software, but without knowing if the lid is open the only options are engineering some fix, and sending it to each safe owner.

[@ianbertram1872]

It’s certainly more economical to frame this as a software issue, but the introduction of more complexity (even if it’s as slight as checking that the device is actually open) may actually provide a new attack vector or a new point of failure. For instance, we might be able to trick the microcontroller into thinking that the safe is open, and then we can push the button.

[@pfsantos007]

Gun safes like this are more about preventing immediate access than they are about preventing access "no matter what" like a large safe you would bolt to your floor.

Even without the fork exploit, this safe is pretty easy to open. There are 256 possible password conbinations, you could try out all of them relatively quickly.

[@DoubleMonoLR]

That stuck out to me too, especially unsuitable around kids. It does apparently prevent pin entry for 4 minutes after 6 incorrect entries, but on average it would take 128(half the total number of possible codes) attempts = 128/6 = 21 sets of attempts = 84 minutes total waiting + time to enter codes. Of course there's a very reasonable chance it could take many less attempts. ie: it wouldn't matter much to kids or anyone else who spends a long time overall with access to the safes location. Apparently you can optionally set the code up to 8 numbers, which would immensely increase the number of possible combinations, but it seems likely most people wouldn't bother. More buttons would be much better, a 2nd row of 4 buttons would mean 4096 possible combinations even for a 4 digit combination. Portable safes seem to be asking for trouble anyway though.

Sometimes it's a little difficult to believe that they're that bad, since it's a highly skilled picker using tools designed to pick locks.

Kermit the Frog, assuming like smartphones it limits you to a try ever 15 minutes, otherwise it will lock you out of your own gun, and assuming you only have access the thing for 4 hours a day, that's less than 2 weeks on average Yeah, still better than a 3 wheel combination lock, but just making it 6 buttons (or a full keypad) would probably not add that much to c cost

Someday, I hope to hear you say, “After all these years, I found one I can’t pick!!” This safe should be un-pickable, especially if it holds guns. Once the firmware knows the safe is locked, it should disable the combination change button. Simple to do that change in firmware. Or have another switch hidden when the lid is closed to disable the change combination change switch. Great video!! Thanks!!

[@Nerdnumberone]

Look up the naughty bucket videos. He beats a number of them, but apparently some win out. I think the ability to reset the code without the combination is for when the mechanical backup isn't disabled. Say you forget your combination because you lost about it in your garage, but kept the key. You can open it up and reset the code. This can still be fixed if you have it know if the lock is open or not, regardless of how it was openned.

[@cardboardbox_tech]

I wanted to leave a comment just like this, but then had this realization: The key backup makes a firmware "am I locked?" check impossible. It's more than a valid assumption to make that, given they had to resort to this, the locking mechanism has no sensors to tell if it's engaged. And so if the lock was open using the key backup, the firmware would still believe the lock is engaged - and prevent you from using the password reset feature.

[@Gnarlf]

@@cardboardbox_tech It doesn't. Just some simple "wires" and a nand gate will sot that out. If they don't built it that way, that it is entirely their fault. There are so many possibilities. However a simple piece of plastic on the lid, that goes over the button when it's closed, would have probably been the simplest way to secure it.
