Whipped Cream Difficulties

A while back, I summarized a DEFCON presentation on gun safe insecurity. I thought it might be fun today to post some demos, by way of the LockPickingLawyer channel on the ‘Tube.

First up, the “SnapSafe’s TrekLite TSA Gun Lockbox”, a case designed for airline transport of firearms.

Turns out that the LifePod has a problem as well: the type of problem that you can exploit with a fork.

“Don’t read the comments.” But in fairness, Vaultek did respond in the comments and state that they are offering a fix for this problem.

You know what irony is, though? Irony is like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife. Okay, that’s not really ironic, that’s just stupid. But it sets up this: the Stack-On RFID Gun Safe.
