I was messing with a dial combo lock today while I was waiting for a ride. It was a 4 number combo Kyptonite lock that was just sitting on the end of a bike rack. I was trying to see if I could maybe Sesamee decode it with a knife blade, but found that the plastic combo wheels overlapped so as to not allow anything to slid inside them to touch the locking mechanism or see where the groove in the wheel actually is.

I was very suprised at this at first, but after thinking about it, it makes a lot of sense, nothing was able to be stuck inside the lock and there was no way to pull apart the dials and attempt to see the 'innards'.
Just letting you all know that there are many locks that are no longer suspectible to previous easy bypasses. I wasn't able to manipulate it open either as I ran out of time, oh well... I guess we'll have to think of something new. This kind of reminds me how Peterson released the AM700 (Bypass tool for American Locks) and then American locks built metal wafers inside the lock to prevent this sort of attack. Then, Peterson releases the American Wafer Breaker which broke these metal wafers.


Oh well, I guess I'm done rambling,
Cheers,
