When attempting to secure something, whether it’s a computer, sensitive data, or valuables, there’s always going to be a way to break that security. It might be impossibly hard, like ta…
They can take hours to dial every combination of an S&G lock. Cheaper locks are quicker. Most Sentry “safe” dials can be manipulated in minutes if you know what you’re doing, no dialer needed
These tools are also pretty expensive and difficult to source if you’re not in the industry
I think the special thing about this one is that it’s open source and you can build it from common components, which makes sense. You literally just need a stepper or servo motor with the correct algorithm and a few bits & pieces to apply that motor to the dial.
It should be easy enough to build this for no more than a hundred bucks, maybe less if you can get cheap parts or you’re building more than one. It’s actually less complex than a basic 3d printer.
The expensive part comes from the low volume production and the professional customers. Plus the software is probably proprietary. It takes expertise and to make a business out of that means high individual prices.
So it’s really a perfect candidate for open sourcing.
