DEFCON 19: Safe to Armed in Seconds: A Study of Epic Fails of Popular Gun Safes

Speaker: Deviant Ollam Cluebat Quartermaster

Hackers like guns. Hackers like locks. Hackers like to tinker with guns and locks. And, most of the time, hackers protect their guns with high-quality locks. However, while it's one thing to own a nice gun safe protected by a high security dial, that sort of solution tends to be best for the firearms that one doesn't have in daily use. Many of us who wear a firearm as part of our daily routine opt to store and secure our carry piece in a separate, more easily-accessible way at the end of the day. This talk is an in-depth evaluation of some of the most popular small firearm lockboxes in-use today. Some rely on mechanical locks, others on biometric locks, and some offer a combination of both. But overall, they tend to fail miserably in the face of any dedicated attacker. Come and learn how your favorite gun lockbox might be preventing your toddler from having an accidental discharge, but why it's not at all likely to repel a criminal or even perhaps a curious teenager. Means of both attacking as well as improving upon the lockboxes you already may own will be demonstrated, and audience members will be invited to participate in all sorts of attacks... live and on stage!

The UK has ALWAYS been a less violent society INCLUDING when we had FULL gun rights. Please study the facts. Making guns illegal just means that criminals get the upper hand. Criminals don't obey laws. And there was an 89% increase in gun crime in the decade following the UK handguns ban. If you don't like gun crime, you should support gun rights for the law abiding. Again, please study the facts.

I am assuming a guy near the end picked the cross lock was that the cause for the omg?

[fanatyk071]

what is the name he use too open the case at 10min ?

[Brandonkerrfl]

That's exactly why I said that. I don't want people who don't want guns to have them. If you don't want a gun, that's your business. I'm saying there's no connection between gun laws and crime. Tightening gun restrictions does not reduce crime and loosening them does not raise crime.

Gun ownership has gone down in the US. It's near or at record low ownership rates. A smaller and smaller group of people are buying more and more guns. I think the average is 5 or 6 guns per owner.

But, you knew that already. That's why you said "expanding gun rights" instead of expanding gun ownership.

[Brandonkerrfl]

Show me some countries where the homicide rates and suicide rates fell after gun control, and I'll tell you if I think it's worth it. Australia saw a decrease in gun deaths, but their overall homicide and suicide rates did not change. In the USA, we have seen huge drops in violent crime, during a period of expanding gun rights.

We use them against criminals, and we would use them against tyrants, if that became necessary.

[Ghostzer0]

What I see when I look at America is a country that thinks that the several thousands of gunshot-deaths each year is a worthwile price for "freedom".

Note the quotes.

Tell me: what are you suposed to use these guns against?

[Brandonkerrfl]

If you regretted replying to my comment the first time, why did you do it again? That doesn't make any sense. And what is wrong with my Youtube history? Be more constructive with your criticism.

[RELOADER82]

thank you.

[RELOADER82]
