Not a security device. It's meant to prevent it from being used for browsing the web, etc. The cutouts allow accepting calls, making emergency calls, and charging the phone. Still seems rather useless, but still.

@@TomOConnor-BlobOpera Get the podcast. They've started running pretty old ones back from the 90s. I'm hoping they dive back into the 80s. Even as a pretty long-time listener, I am now starting to hear episodes I don't remember.
Bro, Cartalk is my childhood. My granddad was a mechanic, and he used to take me on week-long trips in his RV during school breaks. He had Cartalk episodes dubbed onto cassette tapes that we we would listen to while on the road.

The screwdriver set you get for Xmas: "I shal lie on a shelf, gathering dust, and be used once a year." The screwdriver set LPL gets for Xmas: "I will not go quiet into that good night..."
Pretty sure unplugging it caused the internal timer to reset to zero. Plugging back in likely caused the motor to turn when it checked the timer and saw it had hit zero.
“I could Hotwire the power supply, or jumper the power to the motor.....” .....”Or I’ll just unplug it. ‘ Someone went to mechanical engineering school, designed this device with pride, just to be owned in under 3 minutes....
i just came from a short of a guy nearly in tears because he locked his phone in one of these for 5 hours. he genuinely described it as "unbreakable"... personally, i think that was a poor choice of words..
Awesome! We had the same problem with an electrical lock in our server room. Somebody lost the only key, nobody knew the punch-code and it was wired in to the office power and had a battery backup. Our building locksmith wouldn't touch it. Finally, I was working at my desk and had one of those AHA! moments. We shut off the power and pulled the battery for 10 minutes (just in case it had a capacitor backup). Plug the battery back in and BAM! Got a nice dinner out of that.
This is a good example of an unforgivable flaw. About 50 cents worth of non volatile memory in the lock circuit would have defeated that attack, just like so many of the devices defeated by LPL.
Novelty item aside, this channel really shows you how relevant the term "security theatre" is today. Many locks and security measures are designed to make us *feel* secure, not to actually make something secure. It's just way cheaper. Oftentimes that is enough of a deterrent though. Quite the interesting phenomenon.
I think this channel shows more that there’s no such thing as true security. It all just slows you down. If power cycling didn’t work, he could have applied current to the motor. If that didn’t work, he could have broken the case. There’s no practical way to have a truly fool proof system, especially without compromising somewhere else (e.g. cost).
@@zachpw This device in particular is a horrible example to use. It's a toy. It's not really what I'm talking about. What I mean is there's a very clear distinction between products that are making a genuine effort vs. those that are just trying to make you feel better/get you to spend money. LPLs value in my opinion is stems significantly from showing that distinction to people who aren't as familiar with the tools of the trade. It helps you to know what you're spending your money on or what severely flawed products to avoid buying. There are so many safes/locks out there that can be opened in seconds with little effort, but they're advertised as nearly impenetrable, when in reality they're hardly functional. (And priced similarly to significantly better options) Obviously, security is just a means of slowing someone down, but when there's no effort at all put in actually making something secure, LPL is here to show us those flaws and what to avoid. There is such a thing as "true security." You just have to slow the process of breaking into something down long enough to where it's not simply not worth the effort and any would be thief would move on. This is far from an impossible task on a small or large scale.
A large part of it is the balancing job you always have to do with "security". It's never just security, it's security + cost + the burden on legitimate users. "Ultimate security" is a great goal, but the question always is what are you willing to pay both in monetary cost and in hassle. Airline travel would be a thousand times safer if every passenger was stripped, given a body cavity search, then locked into a straightjacket and transported that way. But how many passengers would be willing to put up with that just to fly? And good luck getting them to evacuate after an emergency landing (much more likely than a terrorist attack). I worked at a place with a draconian password policy with frequent rotation and ridiculous character requirements. The result? Our entire accounting team had post-its stuck to the bottom of their monitors with their passwords just so they could do their job since they couldn't remember their constantly changing complex passwords. So by making it "more secure", we made it less secure. This box would have been much more secure if it came with a security guard who would slap it out of LPL's hands every time he tried to "pick" it, but who's going to pay his salary?
Yep. Even TSA is 99% "FEEL security". It's passenger suspicion and awareness that's limited skyjackings. Taking everyone's nail clippers just weakens the good guys.
This is arguably one of the more useful, if you have a kid and ground them you can put their phone or Switch or whatever they have in here for a few days
There is a video series "how to beat every trap in Saw", in my mind there is this scene, where LPL gets into one of the beatable traps and just goes; "Okay folks, what i have for you to days is a shotgun shell loaded collar around my neck thats loosely connected to the heardbead of this old man. I have to say, there are some INEXCUSABLE designflaws in this trap, for example the open hammers that are free for me to stuff thing into and jam the device entirely, thus rendering it useless. The Inventor this really did not think this through, as it takes a very low skill attack to be defused. In any case, thats all i have for you today, if you have any questions or comments, put them down below, and as always, have a nice day" And him just leaving like a boss and John Kramer just dies in shame behind him.
The real trap is if he picks any locks, the bombs strapped on him go off, and the proper way to defeat it is to chop off his hands, ending his ability to ever pick locks again ...He still manages to pick the lock without setting off the bombs anyways, leaving the Jigsaw killer going, "...If you're half as good at lawyering as you are at this, then uh, I could use a lawyer about now"
I work in IT. The first thing I always ask when receiving a call is whether or not the end user turned the system off and on again. This fixes 99% of the basic problems in Windows. Apparently it works on locks also! Linux, not so much...

Overly dramatic response there pal. You don't know how they got shipped and it's fine to have them outside of a humidor for a while. Just pop them back in for a few days and they'll be fine again.
@@HH60gPaveHawk nope, once they get to even like 55% they are ruined, no matter how long you keep them they will still be bitter and harsh. Im doubtful these are even real habanos, the feet are busted, caps sloppy and the wrapper leaves look far too veiny and uneven, No way they would come from the same box. The one furtherst to the right has a very badly applied band. Its very hard to get proper habanos anywhere in the USA, looks like somebody went on holiday and thought they were being clever getting a street box (worked in a proper habanos retailer in london with training from hunters and frankau, i got brought a box of fakes like once a week)
Really love these videos of you going in blind to a lock you don't know. The thought process in attacking locks is evenbmore interesting than just seeing you open another lock in under 15 seconds with novice tools xD
Since Americans can't get them because of a stupid embargo that has become so outdated, Cuban cigars have an air of mystique. They are good but there are others that are just as good
Well everytime people send him coolshit in whatever their lock is, that's just more money his wife can spend on ice cream or other things. Dude probably has a 16 years supply of lagavulin at this point...
@@Tyiriel I wouldn't say that's failing the challenge. It had a flaw in the design of the mechanics (although I personally am unsure if there's a way around this) in that the electronics held no memory of the timer after being unplugged. LPL used this flaw to his advantage, even if by accident. He succeeded, even if the way in which he did was slightly unusual. He got the lock open and therefore did not fail.
@@magnusquercu9905 If this was a security device, sure, but this wasn't meant to be impossible to open, just a timed lockout. Being able to reset it makes perfect sense here, because if you pull the back off you probably do need to get inside and it's not too much harder to just break the cover and steal from the top.
First I laughed when resetting the power was enough to defeat the lock. Then I was shocked when he said that actual security devices designed to do more than promote self-control had the exact same vulnerability.
well, the repairabilty score of that product would be quite good. You might have issue getting spare plastic parts, but you could take donor parts from a legit product.

would be a waste of cigar
it's quite surprising that such a locker is more secured as some real locks who build the same or have similiar build up
I think this gave him more trouble than most locks do.
I mean... This doesn't look like its not easy to open...
True
He just didnt want to break it
Its cause he recorded the whole thing cause of the timer and had no previous knowledge of the device
@@benaskalinskas4154 just use stronger glass and plastic for making next time, decent lock.
The screwdriver set you get for Xmas: "I shal lie on a shelf, gathering dust, and be used once a year."

There are few things as satisfying as being able to reach across the workbench and lay hands on exactly the tool you need!
The one time you need that screwdriver set, it pays for itself

Me: "There's no way unplugging the battery and plugging it back in works."
YOU'D THINK
A lot of electronic security stuff has this flaw for safety of the content inside it. Especially cheaper stuff.
@@GRIMHOOD99 People overestimate how secure electronics are for manual tasks when all you need to do is... turn it off. (Or in this case reset it)
@@DeathnoteBB the worst thing is when this flaw is on a system for multiple doors for a building that has power switch outside.
Pretty sure unplugging it caused the internal timer to reset to zero. Plugging back in likely caused the motor to turn when it checked the timer and saw it had hit zero.
“I could Hotwire the power supply, or jumper the power to the motor.....”
.....”Or I’ll just unplug it. ‘
Someone went to mechanical engineering school, designed this device with pride, just to be owned in under 3 minutes....
This product is super simple though. I guess whoever made this didn't care if someone was to open it that way.
that persons boss: i want a lock box
engineer: fast cheap or good, pick one.
boss: cheap, and yesterday
engineer: sigh, here we go again.
I figured removing the power was gonna do it when I saw the panel on the back.
My guess is that this is meant to be used by parents who are disciplining their children. They put the kid’s phone in there for a set amount of time.
i just came from a short of a guy nearly in tears because he locked his phone in one of these for 5 hours.
he genuinely described it as "unbreakable"... personally, i think that was a poor choice of words..
This is the only lawyer that I actually like. Thank you for sharing your hobby with us.

*Jazzy theme song plays*
Awesome! We had the same problem with an electrical lock in our server room. Somebody lost the only key, nobody knew the punch-code and it was wired in to the office power and had a battery backup. Our building locksmith wouldn't touch it. Finally, I was working at my desk and had one of those AHA! moments. We shut off the power and pulled the battery for 10 minutes (just in case it had a capacitor backup). Plug the battery back in and BAM! Got a nice dinner out of that.
Rule 1 applies to all electrical devices, not just the electronic ones. Very clever.
This is a good example of an unforgivable flaw. About 50 cents worth of non volatile memory in the lock circuit would have defeated that attack, just like so many of the devices defeated by LPL.
"Have you tried turning it off and on again?" Can't believe that worked lol
"Sent in by Brian from Florida" Me: IS THIS BRIAN GLYNN FROM CIGAR OBSESSION?"
Exactly what I thought!
Novelty item aside, this channel really shows you how relevant the term "security theatre" is today. Many locks and security measures are designed to make us *feel* secure, not to actually make something secure. It's just way cheaper. Oftentimes that is enough of a deterrent though. Quite the interesting phenomenon.
I think this channel shows more that there’s no such thing as true security. It all just slows you down. If power cycling didn’t work, he could have applied current to the motor. If that didn’t work, he could have broken the case. There’s no practical way to have a truly fool proof system, especially without compromising somewhere else (e.g. cost).
@@zachpw This device in particular is a horrible example to use. It's a toy. It's not really what I'm talking about. What I mean is there's a very clear distinction between products that are making a genuine effort vs. those that are just trying to make you feel better/get you to spend money. LPLs value in my opinion is stems significantly from showing that distinction to people who aren't as familiar with the tools of the trade. It helps you to know what you're spending your money on or what severely flawed products to avoid buying. There are so many safes/locks out there that can be opened in seconds with little effort, but they're advertised as nearly impenetrable, when in reality they're hardly functional. (And priced similarly to significantly better options) Obviously, security is just a means of slowing someone down, but when there's no effort at all put in actually making something secure, LPL is here to show us those flaws and what to avoid.
There is such a thing as "true security." You just have to slow the process of breaking into something down long enough to where it's not simply not worth the effort and any would be thief would move on. This is far from an impossible task on a small or large scale.
A large part of it is the balancing job you always have to do with "security". It's never just security, it's security + cost + the burden on legitimate users. "Ultimate security" is a great goal, but the question always is what are you willing to pay both in monetary cost and in hassle.
Airline travel would be a thousand times safer if every passenger was stripped, given a body cavity search, then locked into a straightjacket and transported that way. But how many passengers would be willing to put up with that just to fly? And good luck getting them to evacuate after an emergency landing (much more likely than a terrorist attack). I worked at a place with a draconian password policy with frequent rotation and ridiculous character requirements. The result? Our entire accounting team had post-its stuck to the bottom of their monitors with their passwords just so they could do their job since they couldn't remember their constantly changing complex passwords. So by making it "more secure", we made it less secure.
This box would have been much more secure if it came with a security guard who would slap it out of LPL's hands every time he tried to "pick" it, but who's going to pay his salary?
Yep. Even TSA is 99% "FEEL security". It's passenger suspicion and awareness that's limited skyjackings. Taking everyone's nail clippers just weakens the good guys.
"Garçon, have the Cuban cigars arrived yet?"
"Yes sir, but, I had to get them through that lock picking barrister and there's a bit of a problem..."
Damn, if this thing was metal it seems like it would have actually been a decent security device.
When you’re the LPL, most locks are novelties.
This is arguably one of the more useful, if you have a kid and ground them you can put their phone or Switch or whatever they have in here for a few days
The funny thing is A novelty item held him out longer than most of the items designed to keep him out XD
He really beat this thing with "Have you tried turning it off and back on"
I love how this cuban cigar lock took longer to unlock than most keypads
The best thing about LPL is that he teaches you to look at things differently. I feel my mental dexterity increasing just from watching this.
@Charlie Vetsworth If only liberals watched his videos then.
If only _______ watched his video
@@multikioske8044 if only I watched his videos
There is a video series "how to beat every trap in Saw", in my mind there is this scene, where LPL gets into one of the beatable traps and just goes;
"Okay folks, what i have for you to days is a shotgun shell loaded collar around my neck thats loosely connected to the heardbead of this old man.
I have to say, there are some INEXCUSABLE designflaws in this trap, for example the open hammers that are free for me to stuff thing into and jam the device entirely, thus rendering it useless.
The Inventor this really did not think this through, as it takes a very low skill attack to be defused.
In any case, thats all i have for you today, if you have any questions or comments, put them down below, and as always, have a nice day"
And him just leaving like a boss and John Kramer just dies in shame behind him.
The real trap is if he picks any locks, the bombs strapped on him go off, and the proper way to defeat it is to chop off his hands, ending his ability to ever pick locks again
...He still manages to pick the lock without setting off the bombs anyways, leaving the Jigsaw killer going, "...If you're half as good at lawyering as you are at this, then uh, I could use a lawyer about now"
Underrated comment lmao
I would pay a lot of money to watch this movie
You know if a specific family business were to “hire him” they would do even better
"I need to get a different set of screwdrivers". Welp, good thing there's 41 hours left ...
I work in IT. The first thing I always ask when receiving a call is whether or not the end user turned the system off and on again. This fixes 99% of the basic problems in Windows. Apparently it works on locks also! Linux, not so much...
Have you ever forgotten to do it yourself and just sat there contemplating reality when you finally remember to do it and it works?
@@65firered Nope! My systems rarely need a reboot. I run 7 SP1 for gaming and there is zero bloat. Install my OEM copy, manually install drivers (no EXE crap for me) and then only Steam and my games. Brave for browsing, 7-Zip for archives. BTRFS for the filesystem. It stays up for months.
@@GuretoSefirosu See I have a Dell Inspiron 11 (the ultimate gaming computer), it froze, so I sat there for a good 5 minutes then realized I could just turn it off and on again, I graduated from IT Networking mind you.
Go get 'em, Moss! Or are you Roy? 😆😆
With Linux, a reboot can often make matters much, much worse! :p
Nice!! Got my first lockpick set today and opened my first two padlocks! I thought I’d learn a new skill during lockdown. I now appreciate what LPL does even more. Thanks for the inspiration and great video’s, they are really helpful!
Lol....learning to unlock during a lockdown!
@@marygem I was about to say the exact same thing. :)
Haha! Didn’t even cross my mind😂😂
@@Surgicalsteel222 :):)
“Unplug it and plug it back in” was not something I was expecting
It is so cool that he keeps the same tone of voice when he says “sometimes it is good to be the lawpickinglawyer“
*Sees they are exposed and not humidified*
This would have been perfect for Halloween, because Brian is a monster.
A little time in a humidor will fix them right up, not even worth being upset about.
Better a bit dry than overly moist. A humidor will get them in fine shape. Too humid and the mildew becomes a nightmare to remove.
We don't know if they were packaged in a humidified, airtight bag or container.
Overly dramatic response there pal. You don't know how they got shipped and it's fine to have them outside of a humidor for a while. Just pop them back in for a few days and they'll be fine again.
@@HH60gPaveHawk nope, once they get to even like 55% they are ruined, no matter how long you keep them they will still be bitter and harsh.
Im doubtful these are even real habanos, the feet are busted, caps sloppy and the wrapper leaves look far too veiny and uneven, No way they would come from the same box. The one furtherst to the right has a very badly applied band. Its very hard to get proper habanos anywhere in the USA, looks like somebody went on holiday and thought they were being clever getting a street box (worked in a proper habanos retailer in london with training from hunters and frankau, i got brought a box of fakes like once a week)
wow this lock held up nicely if you count the time it took for him to get into the rear of it
Only because he was trying to be non-destructive. Like he said, it's not really for security, just something to test your self-control.
@@syd.a.m satire, friend
Unlike his ex's backdoor
This is one of the best executions of "unplug it, then plug it back in" lol
It’s funny how there’s huge cutouts on the top. So if someone did lock their phone in there, they could still answer a call if they needed to
Now, get your bottle of whisky and light up a nice cigar.
He did receive a bottle of whisky a couple of videos ago, so he should be all set
Never doubt it.

Don't forget his herbs.
Does that mean he needs to extract some explosives?
we've also seen his wife's beaver and his ex's backdoor.
Now we need to see explosives
@@squigglydigglyhead he did open a lock with explosives... does that count?
Thanks for the tutorial!!
i seriously binge watch this guy every time i cant sleep
I'm just imagining him going off and smoking a cigar in victory, then his wife comes in and is like "where tf did you get that?"
"Reboot your computer"
Good advice for more than your PC.
Someone with a “if I can’t have it no one can” mentality will break ur cigars lol
"It has 44 hours left so lets Open it about 350 times before the time runs out"
I think this is the happiest "And we got this open" I've ever heard him saying.
Understandable, given the five cuban cigars
Really love these videos of you going in blind to a lock you don't know. The thought process in attacking locks is evenbmore interesting than just seeing you open another lock in under 15 seconds with novice tools xD
Me: Hey I'm locked out of my cigar locker!
LPL: Did you try turning it off and on again?
This is exactly feel like when your dad put the batteries in your toy
"It's good being the Lock-picking Lawyer" belongs on your coffee mug. LOL.
a very odd way to keep your cigars--''
Since Americans can't get them because of a stupid embargo that has become so outdated, Cuban cigars have an air of mystique. They are good but there are others that are just as good
Didn’t JFK get some of them just before he put the embargo in place or am I mixing up my presidents?
@@alexls1923 pretty sure you're right. I heard that he ordered a thousand of them just before the embargo was passed

@@ahmedal-qarqaz3510 ayeee
literally "did you try turning it off and back on again?" jdfklsjflksd
Well everytime people send him coolshit in whatever their lock is, that's just more money his wife can spend on ice cream or other things. Dude probably has a 16 years supply of lagavulin at this point...
"Well I am not going to wait those 41 hours" aaaaand he just resets the timer
He didn't wait 41 hours tbf
Holy shit you're right. HE FAILED THE CHALLENGE!
The timer reset when he reset the power so the lock actually opened because of him failing.
@@Tyiriel I wouldn't say that's failing the challenge. It had a flaw in the design of the mechanics (although I personally am unsure if there's a way around this) in that the electronics held no memory of the timer after being unplugged. LPL used this flaw to his advantage, even if by accident. He succeeded, even if the way in which he did was slightly unusual. He got the lock open and therefore did not fail.
@@robinhascoolboots9863
Maybe an onboard battery would keep time for a few min/hours?
@@magnusquercu9905 If this was a security device, sure, but this wasn't meant to be impossible to open, just a timed lockout. Being able to reset it makes perfect sense here, because if you pull the back off you probably do need to get inside and it's not too much harder to just break the cover and steal from the top.
When he went to get the other screwdrivers I was like "Dude you only have 41 hours, hurry". Killer suspense.
First I laughed when resetting the power was enough to defeat the lock. Then I was shocked when he said that actual security devices designed to do more than promote self-control had the exact same vulnerability.
My favorite part of this is that it's still more secure than some Master locks.
