It's not as ridiculous as it sounds. I don't speak Greek, but I know what symbols make which sounds, mostly, so I can at least puzzle out the sound of a word on a Greek menu. Cyrillic gets a bum rap in North America because Russia. but there are several languages that use Cyrillic script, including Ladino (a version of Hebrew spoken by Sephardic Jews) and Mongolian. Learning to sound out Cyrillic isn't a waste of time outside of North America, and more than learning to puzzle out the sound of Greek letters. If anything, Cyrillic is more useful than Greek, since there's more than just a single language using it. (Greek is starting to fail as a script, young people are transliterating Greek words into Latin script and the older folks by and large can't read it. This was the only thing the awesome tour guide we had for our day trip to Olympia said that was said even remotely sadly the whole day.)

"Firma" is Bulgarian for "company", but we started to use this term in the beginning of 90's. As we call it - after the "Democracy" :)

Richard Feynman used a similar technique to determine the combinations on filing cabinets while he worked at Los Alamos. Knowing there was a degree of ‘slop’ around the gates, he was able to reduce the number of possible combinations from 999 to a more manageable number and open filing cabinets quickly. It was a game they played because of the serious nature of the work they were doing and they needed to let of steam pursuing ‘fun’ activities.

He also had a very good memory and got in the habit of looking at the dial on people's safes. People tend to not spin the dial when locking so he already had the third digit for most of the safes in the complex. In fact, it would usually only take him a minute or two to find the number. He never did this in front of people so then he would sit around for a few minutes to make it look harder than it really was.

@jeffwells6415 жыл бұрын
You're wrong, but reality is actually a little better than you thought. You're wrong because 64+5 combos is only true if you can verify the first three numbers before trying the fourth. So you do actually have to try every number. However! You can try the 5 possible last digit positions for a given 3 digit attempt without resetting the lock. That means realistically speaking the total number of combinations is 384 / 5, or 61.8. So the real number of average attempts to open is about 31, slightly better than you thought.

I love how LPL assumes his mishmash of fans spanning from locksporters through smash-and-grab criminals through safe-crackers through doomsday preppers through obsessive paranoids through safety concerned citizens through ASMR fans, are all able to "sound out the Cyrillic alphabet". Of course, I am the one who can and doesn't fit in any of the other categories I mentioned.

11:45 There's actually even better shortcut for the last digit: just try to pull the shacle open while turning the know counter-clockwise. The lock will open once you hit true or false gate. Also, I'd expect that you could feel the gates on the first disc so there's only 16 true codes to try out unless I'm mistaken. (Feel the first disk, try 4 successive numbers for disc 2 and 3 and pull the lock open while turning the last disk.)

Great video explaining how this combo lock works and how to reduce the number of attempts needed to open it, but it's even less secure than shown. All of the four last digit possibilities can be tried sequentially without reentering the first three digits so it's basically open in 64 tries max, and an average of 32 attempts.

that is an amazing collection add on. Show very well how the need to secure your items has increased in newer time. Must have been nice to live in a time, where a lock not only meant stay out, but it was actually respected

It's called security theater and it's still heavily used. It's a trade-off between actually keeping people out for more money and only looking like it could keep people out for less money.

Don't fool yourself. Locks have been picked open and bypassed for as long as locks have existed. _Locks and Safes: The Construction of Locks._ by A. C. Hobbs was written in 1853, to give but one example.

@macdjord3 жыл бұрын
LPL, I think you've made a mistake in calculating the number of tries required. The 'last digit must be within a half turn of second-last' trick is incompatible with the 'using false gates as true' trick; for each second-last digit you try, you don't know whether the real second-last digit is that, or that plus a third of a turn, or that plus two-thirds or a turn, which means the final digit could actually be anywhere on the dial. On the other hand, with combination locks like this, the last digit is largely irrelevant; you can test multiple values very quickly by just moving the dial a step at a time without needing to reenter the previous values, which is what takes most of the time. Thus the 'last digit must be within a half turn of second-last' thing actually makes this lock slower to brute force, since you can't test all the possible values for the final digit in one go. Thus, effectively, I'd say this lock requires 4^3 * 2 = 128 different setups, with each setup requiring 2 or 3 quick tests of the final digit.

@ 10:33 - 64 x 5 = 320, not 384. That would be 64 x 6. Still a lot lower than 10,000 but... a worthwhile correction. :)
@Chris-ui2sb7 жыл бұрын
Can you use tension on the locking bar to feel the gates? Should work at least for the last one because it should just pop open when you dial over the right number.
@RadoHx6 жыл бұрын
Yes it works! When I was a kid (I'm Bulgarian) my father bought such a lock and I figured out that you can open it by applying tension on the bar. The low tolerances of the false gates definitely helped too. :)

People at youtube are really smart and do great things. Which is why it always baffles me why I end up in these automatic play loops. Just watched the video on TAG5, this one was next in line, TAG5 is now after this. Weird... By the way, great channel, great videos! I'm also a lawyer but the only thing I've ever managed to pick was the lock on our freezer (don't know why it had one) when I was a kid, I managed to lock it and we didn't have a key! Mom was not happy. Luckily my dad was a better lockpicker and somehow managed to get it open.

Hi, I cannot find where to send a question to the lawyer. So here it is, did you ever come across a magnetic padlock? I have a cheep one that has a key that is a rectangle about the size of a normal key. It looks like it might have four magnets in it. Probably set in different polarities. I think this is a pretty good idea, one that might clutter up your lock picking set! Mark

If you rearrange the discs when you are resetting the combo can you then change it to a custom combo? Seems like it would be possible as long as the person is careful and pays attention. Also I wonder how well that lock would hold up to shimming, and how hard it would be to force the hasp open with a pair of pliers. Either way it is a really cool lock!

Dot Cam I *think* the combination digit for each disc depends on the location of the gate relative to the tab that engages other discs. Everyone else, please correct as needed!

Those discs with the gates look so thin. If you can get a hold with pliers top-right on the "nail head" of the bolt, you might just rip it out.
