😱 A 53 minute video from the LockPicking Lawyer. That must be a really good lock.

LPL talking about how he makes videos short so people don't feel like they're investing too much time, while we're here watching an hour long lecture from him

The little giggles from time to time are precious. We usually only hear LPL in his regular neutral or slightly sarcastic voice, but hearing him laugh here is refreshing.

LPL: "Yes, I know I'm a little bit boring." Also LPL: *Ironically makes for a VERY entertaining nearly hour-long video*

LPL: "15 minutes is too long. I made my videos shorter than 3 minutes so people would actually watch." Us: *watching this 53+ minute video*

He needs to give that speech again just to make sure it wasn't a fluke.

I clicked on the video thinking "Yay, we finally get to see the man, the myth, the legend!". I was wrong. None the less, this was an excellent, fun and insightful talk.

I saw something today that I never thought I would witness: the Lock Picking Lawyer actually failed to open a lock. But seriously, this was a great keynote. I was riveted from beginning to end. He's an excellent speaker.

What a great talk, a huge props to Saintcon for respecting his privacy

Hiring the person that breaks computer security has been a long tradition in that industry. Blaming the victim (or shooting the messenger) is the tradition in physical security.

Great presentation. He mentions the poor mindset of lock designers. It reminded me of a story in one of the books of great physicist Richard Feynman. He was working in a government lab during the Manhattan project (atom bomb research), when he noticed that the combination locks on the safes in the military staff's offices were flawed (locking the door caused the dial to move in a predictable way which allowed one to infer the combination). He pointed this out to a senior official, along with a way to avoid the problem (randomly turn the dial after locking the door). However, instead of passing this useful advice along to the staff, he ordered them instead to make sure Dr. Feynman wasn't ever left alone in a room with a safe!

"I can't speak to what you intended but that's certainly not what you wrote." That's a POWER MOVE right there

things I am irrationally proud of: being in the audience for this. And the afterparty.

Can't believe I just casually watched this for almost an hour and paid attention the entire time. What a great talk.

Not a lawyer, not a lock picker, not a computer security guy, but this was absolutely awesome!

Seeing as the beaver is one of the few locks he couldn't open, I think I'll be putting my valuables in a gumball machine from now on. Excellent presentation. And I feel sorry for him that he's got to inspect his packages because of random internet idiots.

"Showing criminals how to steal from people", Instead his videos have taught me to pick a lock maker who actually cares about making life hard on criminals. Funny thing about runtime of his videos, They have now become an image of how good or bad a lock is.

Ha, it's cute to hear that he is a little nervous. Well done LPL.

I love how at the end they put "so that's all I have for you today" in the subtitles even though he didn't say it

Keynote?! KEYNOTE! This is obviously LOCKPICKNOTE!

LPL's laugh when he makes a joke make this presentation that much better, sat through every second of this and loved it!

I am not a lock picker. I watched this entire presentation and have watched HUNDREDS of his videos and will continue to do so. He have not wasted one second of my time.

The way the crowd cheered when he brought out the locks and put them on his table was just great ! :D

You hit a homerun putting this video up. Great thinking on your part to have him speak. He can always show what complacency gets you. Really happy to see that you seen the parallel in the industries.

I once had a neighbour that locked themselves out of their home, I saw they were struggling to find a way in, I went over and explained that I am a "locksport" fan and that I have an extensive kit of tools, they were on the phone to a locksmith that told them it would cost them £200.00 to come out and open the door, I walked over and bump keyed their lock on my third bump. They phoned the locksmith to cancel the appointment, the locksmith insisted on still coming over as obviously the lock was not secure enough. The neighbour asked if I could hang about. The locksmith was told that if I could open the "new secure" lock before it was fitted then he would not charge them for the call out. He turned up with a new lock, I bumped it on my first attempt and he went away all huffy. I was just pure luck it happened that way. The locksmith said he would drill out the old lock and fit a new one.... easy money for a locksmith, bumping a lock gives me a greater smile.

This is a new perspective I never saw from LPL. He’s doing a public service by exposing flaws in physical security, in a work where no one else want to even talk about these issues. Fantastic

As a student I worked on campus at my university in their tech support. We mostly managed AV equipment and classroom tech. My boss always said "there is no safe lock, and these locks are only there to keep the honest people honest. If they want to get in, they can easily get in". His meaning behind it was that all the locks on campus were mainly just to prevent crimes of opportunity.

I have been in IT since 1970s and the biggest vulnerability has been the OS vendors, like MS, that put holes in the OS for law enforcement, that other people find and exploit.

I'm a security guard, and the building I work in has about 4 dozen badge readers, each with there own set of authorized badge numbers. Different people have access to different places in the building. Makes sense, right? The problem? Every single one of them can be opened with a magnet. And what's worse is that I'm not sure whether or not management knows about this, and frankly, I'm too scared of losing my job to tell them about it.

Finally! A LPL video longer than a couple minutes! What I've always been hoping for! Thanks for doing this!

1:03 "yes I know im boring" the dude just lying to our faces!

I like how even though video has been cut, subtitles still say the iconic „that’s all I have for you today”. It blows my mind, that a random video of some random guy picking open some random padlock, led me to getting deeper into lock mechanisms, how they work and in the end, changed the way I look at life and think about everything around. „I don’t care what it was intended for, I care what it can be used for” is literally a life changer. Thank you, LPL.

LPL needs to develop a rating system to each lock: LPL0 to LPL10. LPL0=even a child can open this. LPL10= yes, LPL can open it but no one else can.

Normally I find it difficult to listen to long presentations. This one is very easy to listen to. Very engaging and fun.

This man is a class act. I only know him from his YT channel and now this presentation but I get the vibe he's a real straight shooter with a good heart and a refreshingly dry and subtle sense of humor. I don't think there's a thing phony about him or what he stands for. With all the shitty people in this world who lie, misdirect, and profit off of false projections, it's good to know people like LPL exist and they are out there making a difference.

After being disappointed not seeing the LPL, merely sat phone down to listen like an audiobook. Quickly I realised how much LPL sounds like Paul Lynde, especially after saying a funny, then immediately chuckling. Used to love watching Paul's funny wit on the Hollywood Squares.

This should be the preamble to LPLs channel. Gives soooo much insight to why he does what he does. Great speech 😊

Big fan of TLPL. Great keynote. He's right, the industry is broken.

12:45. On security by obscurity , Locksmiths pretend that locks are difficult to open so they can charge hundreds of dollars to drill out your lock and fit a new one, as what happened to me one night on an ABUS deadlock to my house. He said there's a million dollar reward to anyone who can pick it. If only I knew of Lock Picking Lawyer back then.

LPL is my favourite no-face KZfaqr.

If the youtube thing fails, LPL has a solid career as a comedian. He got quite a few laughs out of me.

The hacker mindset struck right home with me. In my youth I liked hacking and cracking programs and then later I became a programmer for a while, mainly for online games. I noticed something quite early on, I was somewhat slower than other programmers in every team I was in. I thought maybe I was bad at it or not smart enough, but no. It wasn't the case. I just made sure in every function and class that i wrote that the variables would never overflow, pointers could never go crazy and error codes would be properly sent back if someone else tried to do shit with my code that it wasn't intended for. I always thought when writing a piece of code, how would I exploit or break this, and then pre fixed it. Not that things didn't go unnoticed now and then, but it made my code less prone to do bad things and my programming slower.

It never occurred to me how much hate and harassment LPL gets. I mean, the dude is actually doing everybody a favor in _every_single_video_, how can anybody not like that. Anyways, all the love to LPL and thanks to SAINTCON for publishing this!

I like how he talks and laughs like a nerd. It is feels so relatable for me, like not joking at all, I do really like that.

Love the going old school and rocking the downward camera segments! Whole message is great, etc.

LPL : I'm pretty boring Also LPL : Gives one of the funniest presentation on locks ever

This dude is the rock star of lock picking, the way the crowd cheered when they found out he was going to demonstrate open the master locks live.

I'm not a criminal, but I love watching the LPL for the sake of the 'puzzle-solving' value of how he works around problems. He's right, it is that out-of-the-box kind of hacker mentality and I find it more fascinating than, say, magicians or "illusionists" or even puzzle-solvers. It was a real treat to listen to this extended presentation when I have watched many of his videos and subscribed to his channel for some time and kind of felt in on the joke. Speaking as a Trainer & Presenter I've got to say his technique is immaculate and always fun. My personal favourite was Mrs LPL and the ice cream lock, that cracked me up, but I love his historic lock stories.

As I think is the case with many people, I started the video with the intention of maybe watching/listening for a couple minutes at most, and ended up sitting here watching the whole thing (and not doing *anything else* as well) because I found the presentation so interesting. And I'm not even a subscriber to his channel; I've only casually watched a couple dozen of his videos here and there. The presentation was just so interesting, though, that I couldn't help but finish the whole thing. Good job, LPL!

A great crossover between physical security and cyber security. The most important takeaway is to think like an attacker, not a designer. This applies in both worlds.

Longtime viewer of LPL and worked in netsec for about 16 years, mostly for corporate lawyers. LPL reminded me that I once told one of the fee earning lawyers that I viewed them as hackers of the law, because they were so adept at finding flaws in law and legal documents, to the benefit of their clients, even to the point where laws were patched because of them. 😉

What a great point on not wasting the viewers' time. There's nothing I hate more than a KZfaq video where the creator repeats the same thing, over and over again, just so they can meet whatever minimum time threshold KZfaq has set to get increased ad revenue. Ironically, despite this presentation being an hour long, it was entertaining the whole way through.

The KZfaq Algorithm has seen fit to show this video to the most devout LPL fans, and it has shown it to me. heck yeah.

The last story: "Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake."

The "What it can do" concept has some great stories behind it. There's an electric wall heater company in Norway who produces glass panel see through, only the fasteners and control panel showing electric wall panel heaters (or produced haven't seen them in a while). And the way these became a thing was one of the engineers at the company standing in front of a soda cabinet at a store, wondering how the doors don't fog over due to the difference in heat between the inside and the outside. Turns out the way they do it is by using a clear film, between two sheets of glass, the film becomes warm when you put electricity into it, and thus the glass will not fog over because it's slightly warmer than the inside of the cabinet. With some research the company figured out how to increase the heat out put, and made a product which was popular to install in places where you need heat, but also want to reduce the impact of heating implements on the visuals as much as possible (Such as old buildings etc)

The KZfaq strategy was brilliant, it absolutely worked

I fully support his anonymity reasons, still my head wants to attach a face to the messenger. well i guess, forever he shall be in my head the talking hands that open locks like almost no full body can

53 minutes! Man, this Saintcon lock must be the best lock ever made! :o

"Security by obscurity" is enlightening. Wonderful lecture.

Usually never comment on your video but as a person which has held literally hundreds of talk from 5 to 30 minuts I must say that you did a really good talk. Perfect blend of comedy and reason, length Perfect, good voice and articulated. Very pleased to say this is one I will come back for. Good job keep it up !

Great talk. I think this is the first time I have ever heard the LPL sound nervous. I do a lot of public speaking on technical topics, and I recognize the symptoms. Great job, tough talk, well presented.

It was 19 minutes and 44 seconds before the first proclamation, "and we got it open." Masterlock must be so proud.

this guy revealed itself as a very inteligent, wise and modest person by making video about something most of the viewers were not even remotely interested. inspiring

The man is such a legend and is doing an immense public service. It's absolutely absurd that all those involved in locks, from the makers to the people who pick them for a living, will, with a straight face, say that ignorance is the best method for safety. I hope he keeps naming, shaming and humiliating lock makers for as long as he can, or as long as it takes.

This is the longest LPL I have seen. (The lock must be GOD tier used on On the Heaven gates.)

LPL is the bee's knees! That was one great speech. Any lock company who hires LPL as a consultant to improve their security will walk away with the market.

That was a wonderful lecture. I loved the history and stories. This was roughly an hour but honestly I could have sat and listened to LPL for 2-3 hours. Everything he discussed I found absolutely fascinating.

I dont care about locks and my uppermost pain tollerance ist 15 minutes of youtube video. Just watched 1 hour of video and could watch it all over again... Thank you!

Epic and funny talk, i enjoyed it immensely. This lawyer definitely is not boring at all. P.S: I watch his videos often, great content. Made me rethink locks I use and even to attempt learning to lockpick for fun.

53:12 _"If you ever decide to step up your game, I'm just as happy to make videos praising you."_ best way to end a talk, ever.

I watched this at least 5 times now.. And if I get to forget it I'll watch it again

I watched this whole video without being bored he makes anything interesting lol

His little laughs at himself are adorable

"The rules are simple. They lie to us, we know they're lying, they know we know they're lying, but they keep lying to us, and we keep pretending to believe them." - Elena Gorokhova

This guy is the definition of an expert in his field

I’m so glad I decided to invest my free time into watching this video. I love getting to see a side of LPL rarely seen outside of videos he’s guest stared in. Don’t get me wrong, we all love the tried and true “here’s a lock, this is where I obtained it, this is the tool I’m using, watch me pick it, now I’ll tell you why it sucks” format but it’s a treat when LPL breaks away from his lock smith persona. Also was caught off guard when we actually got picking content out of this

"they're not going to watch a 10 minute video of a lock they never heard of" Bowley lock videos instantly come to mind. Those were great. good speech btw

TLPL is so well articulated. I could listen to him talk about anything for an hour I’m pretty sure.

As a former IT security engineer the first thing I was taught is step one of security for a system is locks on the server room.

How did youtube first recommend this a year after ?? Watched him for years. Good speech

As a software developer, one of the "jokes" I make about bugs is "Working As Implemented" which can also be said about many locks and other security products, both physical and virtual.

I can hear the nerves. Good job, LPL, for straying so far from your comfort zone.

Imagine working on vulnerability management/pentesting, in IT, and someone contacts you to say "how dare you find a vulnerability in our software! Don't tell anyone and take the information down, now!"

He sounds a lot more nervous and less confident than on his channel's videos. A really interesting look behind the scenes, even if we can't see him :D. I completely agree with the time component regarding videos. Many channels tend to make longer and longer videos the bigger they get, which makes it harder and harder to watch these videos. I really appreciate how succinct and to the point LPL's videos are.

I love how he recommends small video lengths and then gets a quarter million views on a one hour talk in 2 weeks!

Seeing the title of this I was really concerned LPL was finally showing his face. Thank you for keeping the magic alive and protecting his privacy saintcon

I finally watched this video after following LPL for at least a year. I’m retired now, and I participated in many corporate communications training classes in which I was introduced to terms like re-windowing, shifting your paradigm (with or without a clutch), and thinking outside the box. Metaphors which became instant cliches. This presentation is so refreshing because it doesn’t use a metaphor to ask a simple question.

Although we do not see him, one can tell that his presentation skills are excellent. Very entertaining and well put together.

LPL should MIRROR this on HIS channel, great speech!!

Only because of TLPL do I realize that these locks and so many more are just horrible. I work at Home Depot, and I have looked over our entire security section. I regularly straight up tell people that our locks are not very good if you know what you are doing, and recommend things we don't carry, since their security is far more important than me trying to make a sale. Also cause of you I've become very interested in locks, so thank you so much for making me and my customers safer!

this video should be displayed in schools, in billboards around cities

I've put off watching this because of the length, because I wanted to be sure I could do it in one sitting without interruptions! Very nice hearing LPL elaborating a bit and adding some stories fleshing out points made many times in his short videos.

This is by and far the most entertaining talks I've heard yet. I hope LPL decides to do more presentations. Thank you for releasing this.

There's a reason why LPL has such a large following. Not because there are 3,5+ million lock picking nerds out there, but because of his message given at the end ("loose ends"). That mindset is what can "save" "society" (in the loosest possible cliché possible).

Haven't finished the video but 15 min in but for a "boring" lawyer he's really funny.

LPL: I'm boring Also LPL: provides 53:24 of pure entertainment and humor.

After enjoying a few hundred of the LPL’s videos, it was nice to hear him laugh fully, discuss his love of Scotch, and provide context to why he gave up lawyering for something greater.

I'll admit, I've been watching LPL for a very long time as I appreciate his no-nonsense approach and excellent ability to convey concepts/information through his videos. After watching this one however I have come to the conclusion that he is a very cool guy. @LPL, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and I actively apply your concepts in service to many nations and many many people. Thank you so much!

Brilliant!!!!!

I love the little history stories he tells about the locks. I don’t know about anyone else but I’d be very interested in him doing videos about the history of some locks
