Key box bypasses are a great way to do what computer hackers call "Privilege Escalation", but in the physical world. It's truly amazing how often some higher-security keys can be found inside these laughably insecure devices on the outside of target structures or behind an unoccupied security desk.

Just so you know, you are one of my favorite new youtube channels. I even did something on your channel I don't do for most. I CLICKED THE BELL!

I think you just gave burglars more hope!

@ContingencyLabs Жыл бұрын

The burglars already know these tricks. It's important that everyone sees how easy these devices can be bypassed so they stop buying them. Only when we stop buying them, will the companies make these devices more secure.

Im sorry but what does ‘feedback’ mean when talking about the Kidde. Does that mean give?, or resistance?

Look closely at my left index finger when the camera zooms in on it. The button under my left index finger moves a little bit when my right thumb pushes on one of the numbers in the correct combination.

What key lock would you recommend then? It seems all that are the 'safest' always have an inexcusable flaw

One of those fake stones that hide a key. In a gravel driveway. In a quarry.

I'm not aware of a key vault that I would be comfortable recommending. I'm certainly no expert in key vaults but I'm sure that there are much more secure options. But, having never studied or tested them, I wouldn't want to risk leading you astray. But I would strongly discourage you from using a fake stone to hide a key, as another viewer suggested. No magnet key boxes inside your gutter drain,, no fake rocks in your lawn, etc.

I have one of those push button boxes like @1:00 and it doesn't seem to have the same vulnerability. Mine is a GE brand made in 2007. Model #1058358A

I wasn't able to find that exact model. However, GE makes/made a key box that looks very similar to the Kidde/Supra key boxes. I am unable to say whether this technique will work on them but it definitely takes practice to use this technique on the Kidde. For that reason, I wouldn't give up so soon. Try to maximize the pressure on each numbered button by using the handle of a lock pick to protect your thumb. If you push hard on the numbered buttons and get the tension on the "Open" button just right, I imagine you'll get it open.

How do you determine the push button sequence?

@ContingencyLabs 4 жыл бұрын

And many of these devices, the order in which the numbers are inputted does not matter. This is the case for the devices that I showed in this video.

What thickness feeler gauge? TIA!

@ContingencyLabs 5 жыл бұрын

I don't have one handy but they come in a set of variable thickness gauges so its fairly simple to determine the proper thickness through trial and error.

I can’t even open the cover of the key safe 500

@ContingencyLabs 2 жыл бұрын

A Supra C500 key safe? That's weird. The cover shouldn't be difficult to remove. I would assume that it has something to do with corrosion from weather.
