Stuff Made Here reacts to Lock Picking Lawyer beatdown

[@StuffMadeHere]

There seems to be some confusion about what I meant by wanting LPL to have a win so let me give a bit more context. In a collaboration it's best if both parties come out with some kind of win. If only one party benefits that's pretty lame for the other person & their audience. Since I had two locks I felt I could send the first with the known defects which would likely lead to it's defeat (and thus guarantee a win with the interesting explanation for LPL) and then second lock I hoped he wouldn't be able to pick.

Great reaction video. I never noted in my video how impressed I was by the originality of the designs. I have people show me “new” lock designs quite often, and they are usually just variations of decades old patents. In fact, it’s pretty common for me to find my own “original” ideas covered by patents filed before I was born. Getting to play with two completely new designs at once was fun. Once again, nice job on these!

I mean, the only "lock" that LPL wouldn't be able to pick would be electronic ones which are well outside of the purview of a locksmith and in the territory of a cybersecurity expert. If it doesn't have a keyhole, it's not exactly a lock anymore, now is it?

[@doctorakiba]

@@zettour. almost all electronic locks can be opened manually since they have a backup system for when electrical power is not available. So LPL's channel does feature electronic locks.

[@zettour.]

@@doctorakiba I didn't say electronic locks are unpickable. I said any unpickable locks would be electronic. Pretty important difference. For example, if you had a titanium electronic lock that takes a passcode welded onto a titanium blast door, I don't think LPL has any chance of opening that with anything in his garage even if you gave him a week. On the otherhand, a dinky little plastic electronic keypad lock could probably be bypassed pretty easily by normal people, much less a genius locksmith.

[@Luteloots]

@@danielduncan6806 As LPL commented here in the comments himself I think a big part of his impression was regarding how actually original these designs are. They might not be fine tuned to cover some of the less direct attacks but actually new ideas in lock design seem extremely rare which is what made this so interesting it seems. Not being a slight modification of an existing design that does little to nothing to actually truly improve the lock from a picking perspective is frequently marketed as "new" when the end result really doesn't mean much. For someone with no real experience in lock design or lock picking this sort of innovation toward making something better than current locks was impressive. LPL looks at a LOT of locks that are all largely the same so seeing something truly new, even if it could use some fine tuning, is impressive.

[@aervanath]

I would love if it went in two simultaneous directions: one, where Shane iterates on these designs to try to make truly unpickable locks, regardless of their viability as commercially producible locks. The second, which Shane seems to be leaning towards, is trying to figure out how these locks could be redesigned in a way that makes them viable for mass production. I would enjoy both.

[@pjaxy]

He said that LPL admitted that if those three exploits got fixed, which can be done quite easily, LPL wouldn't be able to pick the locks. It wouldn't be an ongoing series. That's why SMH is thinking about how to raise the stakes to make it a more appealing video. Personally, I'd like to see SMH vs the world, to not just give it to LPL but to challenge anyone to pick it, and give a bounty to anyone who can succeed.

17:00 A clarification about why damage is considered in lockpicking - there are 2 basic classifications for entry methods, overt entry (obvious signs of a break in) and covert entry (preventing the victim from realising someone broke in). Lockpicking falls into covert entry, mainly because it's a method to make it seem like there was no attempt/damage to the door/entry, as if someone wanted to gain entry without worrying about preventing the victims from noticing the damage, they'll just go straight to faster and more effective methods such as breaking a window, drilling out the lock, etc. Therefore, if someone were to resort to the complexities and trouble of picking a lock, they'll probably want to not leave a mark, and thus preventing obvious damage to a door would be a fairly important point.

Every other lock has to be concerned with production costs. If you're making a lock with the goal of selling it you want it to be cheap and easy to put together, both of which are detrimental to security. There's been previous locks with a similar idea where the pins can't be tensioned(usually by making deep pitted trap pins so it's impossible to tension the lock without locking the pins in place), the problem is said locks either wind up costing more or being more prone to breakages(large gaps to trap pins means an increased risk of something getting stuck or broken).

It was briefly mentioned as a tangent, but having 1 key that locks something and another key that unlocks it is essentially the basis of a public-private key system (although to be fair, this is mostly done digitally rather than with real keys). This has a number of uses, but the two basic ideas are that, firstly, you can make the locking key public. This then allows anyone to secure something that only you can access. Without 2 keys, this could be problematic; you have to trust someone with a key that can unlock your own lock, and there's a chance the key could be intercepted while giving it to the other person even if they are trustworthy, or stolen from them. Secondly, you can make only the unlocking key public. This way, you can secure something with the private locking key (and then probably locking it with the recipient's lock and public locking key), and have it sent to the recipient which could take it via any number of untrustworthy middlemen, but when they recieve it they will have proof that it must have been you who sent it, because it can only be unlocked by your public key (and hence must have been locked by your private key).

He didn't "win" in the sense he proved he could make something unpickable but as an engineer type he wins so long as he learns from the mistakes, and applies that knowledge to a new design. Ever since locks have been made lock pickers have existed and with each advance they mutually had to improve to defeat the other. It never really ends. I have no doubt that no matter what SMH does LPL will find a way in even if it requires destructive attacks or making a custom tool. But as far as your average person and even pros are concerned it proved difficult enough to be virtually unpickable in a real world scenario the longer you're there the more you risk getting caught. You don't get days to look at detailed images of the internals. You may have a plan but you're basically going in blind because you don't know what to expect...

Every decent lock smith has to know how about the internal of basically all commercial lock. LPL usually say security through obscurity is no security at all.

I know you know this -- but "no damage" is basically a rule so that there is differentiation between picking a lock and just taking a jack hammer to it.

Desperately trying not to be a pedant but I think you mean overt not covert? Your point is well made and interesting, either way.

[@fettret]

@@jeremyclark7866 Sorry very randomly came across this comment and I know its 6m old but thought I would answer - as far as I know (and please anyone more knowledgeable correct me) covert means non destructive entry where the door/lock/safe whatever appears intact but an investigator can detect (if you pick a lock next person who uses the door might not know the lock was picked, but an investigator can see the marks left by the pick inside the lock and determine it was picked), surreptitious entry means there is no evidence of tamper/unauthorized opening. Overt entry means anyone will be able to tell someone entered (lock cut, door broken etc...)

[@the_undead]

Something I'm not even a hundred percent sure that Shane fully understands is just how modest/humble lock picking lawyer actually is, the stuff that he's said about the locks that Shane sent his way tells me that he thinks with those flaws fixed that there would be no non-destructive attack that would reliably work without extreme amounts of effort on the attackers part

[@Dont_Poke_The_Bear]

I thoroughly enjoyed your process, and equally enjoyed the LPL's breakdown. Just the fact that your locks prompted a video longer than 2 minutes on his channel signifies an extraordinarily valiant build on your part! And now that you have recieved the most valuable lessons on your designs, I will be waiting anxiously for Version 3 vs LPL! Bravo sir!

I'd be happy with the outcome of the lock. It's not everyday that LPL gives compliments to a lock. The fact that the video he made about it was over 10 minutes long (his videos average 2-3 minutes) is just a testament to how good the lock actually was. Congrats, Shane. The lock might not truly be "unpickable" in the classical sense but the fact that he had to alter his attack method as well, made it even more impressive. LPL is truly a master at defeating locks.

It's funny how the slightest oversight such as accidentally building the doors inside out could render the main product completely useless. Really makes you appreciate the ingenuity and experience involve in the design of everyday objects.

[@Manabender]

17:00 Yeah, the purpose of lockpicking is to get in *without anyone knowing you got in* . There are two ways to bypass a lock: defeat it, and circumvent it. Defeating it means picking it, of course. Circumventing it means either finding another way in, or, worst case, applying enough force to make the entire *door* go away. In other words, you can bypass any lock with a large enough amount of explosives, but people are gonna know you were there.

[@pafnutiytheartist]

While selling the lock yourself might be inconvenient, selling the design/patent to a company that can mass manufacture it seems like a good idea to me.

Unfortunately, designs already in the public domain can't be patented. His intent wasn't to patent, but important to note, don't share your designs if you intend to apply for a patent.

[@dimitrikemitsky]

@@josephquist9662 that is true generally, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did patent it. He's got a bunch of patents on other inventions, and a bunch of patents pending, so it's not like he's new to the process.

This having a lock maker have a lock picker test the lock reminds me of when my brother told me about his time as an engineer at the San Diego nuclear power plant. To test their security, they teamed up with the Navy SEALS, to have the SEALs do an unannounced infiltration. Well, partially announced. The security knew the SEALS would attempt to reach the control room sometime within the span of a month to simulate an enemy team trying to cause a meltdown. Needless to say, the SEALs succeeded in their mission, and reached the core. As per the agreement, they showed exactly how they did it, and offered solutions to plug up the security holes. The power plant became more secure, and the SEALs got some good infiltration training. Win-win. That's what these two videos remind me of. :)

That's kind of... lame? I don't know how else to describe it. LPL is much more interested in hard-fought wins, escalating difficulty and presenting great design, not just having a win. It would had much heaps more interesting to watch him struggle hard and if it was an L, to show us why for future development.

[@isilder]

I think both are unpickable. "Theoretically" is IF its suitably worn ( or not worn) or some other condition ,and maybe he can fashion the tool and if the actual implementation is close enough to the picture , etc etc i think if he didnt pick it,he cant pick it ..

[@If_Only_I_Knew_Why]

You should make a disc lock so he can use "the pick that Bosnian Bill and I made"

Honestly I would love to see a continuation of this collaboration. That way LPL would finally have a lock he could say is unpickable. And you could go in together to sell it as merch or go into full time business with it.

It's not economically viable to produce. The lock would cost magnitudes more than anything else on market.

[@MrGundawindy]

The damage done is incredibly important. Say, for example you do make an unpickable lock, for it to guarantee security it also needs to be unbreakable and so does the door and the walls, roof and floor of the room. I think that's why no big company is trying for higher security locks, because they're already at the point where most people would just break their way in.

[@GoodBoyGoneDad]

I watched this video yesterday called world's strongest man vs world's strongest door. The company makes steel residential doors and they lock similar to vault doors. Very impressive.

[@TormodSteinsholt]

It's the whole category of the sport ("non-destructive"). So full disclosure of any damage, regardless of practical implication, is paramount. Drilling a small hole from the underside would probably also go unnoticed for a long time in the real world, but would not be part of this ball game.

[@MrGundawindy]

@@TormodSteinsholt my comment was more in relation to his discussion about making it more secure and going into production. I don't think there is really a place for such a high security lock in the real world because no key operated lock alone would ever be secure and with any supplementary security methods employed to secure a door, a more secure lock would also not really be necessary.

[@radicalxedward8047]

“I didn’t know how the second lock so (giving him a win) felt like a safe thing I could do.” Lol I got a kick out of that. It’s easy to think when you’ve designed something for an express purpose that you’ve covered all the bases but be completely overlooking something you didn’t know you didn’t know. I’ve definitely been there.
