A Basic Device That Cracks Hi-Tech Safes | Hacklab | WIRED
Safes are everywhere in America, securing everything from cash and guns to narcotics and sensitive personal documents—in both homes and workplaces. But with no drills or cutting tools, security researchers James Rowley and Mark Omo have developed two separate techniques for cracking the Securam ProLogic L02, a digital lock used on 8 popular brands of…

If you leave the debug pins or pads exposed on your final production PCB you are obviously unqualified to design, produce and sell electronics locks. Also the fact that the debug port is accessible through the battery compartment is even more hillarious. Amateur hour right there. At least covering the PCBA with a large epoxy blob after manufacturing would go a long way to make it hard for this kind of hack.

As an electronic engineer: If that debug port also is the access point for rewriting the safe’s microcontroller’s firmware its possible to just make a device to reflash the controller and just drive the lock solenoid to open… it’d write off the lock in the process… Easy way to to help defend against the attacks is that they were only on the back facing silkscreen, making them only accessible during assembly.
@droid_ex1438
September 12, 2025 at 4:22 pm
If someone is resourceful enough to try either of these methods on your safe, you got bigger problems to worry about. Method 1 is not necessarily a design flaw, if someone is familiar with low level hardware debugging, it’s quiet simple as they mentioned. Method 2 on the other hand is shows a design flaw for exposing a debugging ports with that much access

Both method is the same: the firmware is compromised. it is still light year beyond traditional keys and slots. To be honest if I would even bother with MCU firmware dump I would just grab a grinder first. All the lock company is doing wrong is they are not using temper proof MCU. It just cost more. Oh right, that is the problem.

Leaving the debug pins exposed and having the mcu not read-out-protected is just stupid! I have come across many devi es that had their debug ports disabled, either through firmware or an efuse or physically by removing components between the mcu/cpu and the debug port. Not to mention a lot of products had read protection in place making it so you cant read the firmware but it seems that a product that actually IS MEANT FOR SAFETY does not have this while many normal consumer products have multiple protections in place so nobody copies their patented design…… Its just laughable how bad it is! 😅🤦
@8180634

They didn’t use a processor that could be locked to prevent downloading the firmware, big flaw. Plus leaving the debug port exposed. An existing lock could be improved by changing the code you can change, and cut the traces to the debug port. Not a perfect fix but an improvement.

I have a question that maybe you cats can answer. Sorry if this is off topic. Does it bug other magicians when they see someone on AGT or some other professional venue and they are doing tricks that you could buy for Five Dollars in a magic shop? ON the same topic, magicians like Copperfield etc. do tricks that require 0 talent, they just have to show up and the trick , more or less, does itself while the magician princes around. Juxtapose that against slight-of-hand magicians who have spent Decades perfecting even a tiny move. How do professional magicians feel about magic that is all show vs. actual talent?

Liberty is the same company that gave the police/investigators a man’s safe code because they didn’t want to get a warrant (which they needed either way, but didn’t care). So, Liberty has no problem infringing your rights. Why would they care about making it harder for someone else to get into your safe? As far as I can tell, they want others to open your safe with impunity.

If you really want to secure any of these digital safes you really need to modify and customize the standard and known design. I always add a small remote controlled radio receiver inside the safe wired to the lock circuit. This way when you enter the code you also need to have a key FOB close by and be pushing the button on it. Security is all about layers, If you add your own custom layer like this, then it really becomes secure as know one, not even the FBI, will know how it works inside and won’t be getting in using the factory backdoors.

@tom50586
September 29, 2025 at 12:16 pm
method 1-> Emulate the key derivation routine in the firmware OR recreate it. Probably a bunch of LCGs and math
method 2 -> sniff the debug pins with probes. flipper zero can do it too. You’d just have to figure out if it requires a magic packet to spit back the key.
How securam could avoid:
method 1-> run an actual cryptographic signature check instead of some in-house numeric “signature”. May require a longer recovery key entry though
method 2-> encapsulate the circuit with epoxy resin or disconnect the debug pins / make them inaccessible

A lot of companies used hardened metals. Right tools and 2 minutes, you’re in. Key code safes are a terrible idea.

Microcontrollers often have security bits that disable JTAG/debug port functionality. A firmware could be patched to remove the recovery mode using the JTAG and then the security bit that disables JTAG could be set right after that. Oh and if part of the PCB if the controller is exposed, there’s likely a way to drive the lock solenoid by making contact with the pcb at certain points.

Will the new lock that’s coming out be any better than this one? They’ve said they won’t be fixing the firmware in this lock. Why would we buy the new one since they likely won’t fix that if a problem turns up in it either?

Awesome video. Just reinforces why this IT professional went with a physical dial lock 😉

Not sure its fair to call a Raspberry Pi Pico “low-tech”. Sure, compared to a AMD Ryzen, it’s a featherweight. But you’re talking about a dual-core system running at 133 million instructions per second. Mounting and reading the linux operating system inside those locks, finding the right memory address and decoding it is actually pretty sophisticated.

🙂 No it will not take a week. It will take a JTAG and binwalk and 30 minutes 🙂 Well building the actual tool like theirs may take some time.

Why would they fix it its called safe cracking there’s always gonna be a way to crack every safe. Fix that and another method will come up in 2.5 hrs. That’s a rabbit hole company’s like this have went through to many times takes them months to fox then in a few minutes another safe cracker found another method. Safes are protected by a very steep felony theu should always be followed up with a surveillance camera.

Why do we need a debug port in the finished product? Removing the debug port isn’t the final answer but it sure would have made it more difficult to exploit if they left it off.

The flaw is not that the supercode is stored in the accessible part of the hardware… The flaw is that it is stored AT ALL!
When you’re designing something like this, and you absolutely NEED a supercode of some sort (Legal reasons or whatever), when DO NOT store it in the hardware. Storage a hash algorithm. Do enougth rounds so that the validation of a single code takes multiple seconds. That way even of someone gets their hand on the hash itself, it will not be easily reversible.

They say that its a well known teqnique so they will not fix it. Then they say its bad that they show this teqnique because it can end up in the bad hands? If its allready well known, why spes it matter? 😂 Just fix the issue ffs 🤦♂️
@titaniummechanism3214

Since the company is chinese, I could imagine that this backdoor “feature” is mandated by the chinese government. That would also explain why they aren’t willing to change it.

“hi-tec safe” … its a hotel safe. It’s only there so the burglar needs to spend a bit more time and choose to leave the room.
If anyone wanted to get in, even with regular methods, it maximum 15 min.

I love that your Security Professional is shown trying to pick one of the EASIEST locks to open, a knock off, pot metal, Schlage looking lock that is easier to pick than the old Kwiksets! ROFL!!!! Also, if the FBI has a warrant, then not having the code is not going to make a bit of difference!

That is a nice non-destructive method. Honestly, easiest way into most of these is a simple battery operated angle grinder or oscillating tool. Cut through the weakest part (back and bottom).
