DEF CON 32 Creator Stage · Day 1 · Creator Stage
In "Safecracking for Everyone" at DEF CON 32, Jared Dygert, a seasoned lock sport enthusiast and safe manipulation expert, peeled back the layers of security surrounding common mechanical safe locks. His talk delivered a stark message: the vast majority of mechanical safes, particularly those categorized as Group 2, offer virtually no resistance to a skilled manipulator. Dygert not only demystified the inner workings of these ubiquitous locking mechanisms but also exposed their fundamental design flaws and provided a detailed methodology for exploiting them.
