This is/was a lock-picking channel, so Im trying to keep with that theme lol. Ive recently gotten back into cyber security, namely pentesting. Ive been going through challenges on the TryHackMe site and am studying for/working towards getting my OSCP. I may do the eJPT (eLearning Junior Pen Tester) first, but we'll see. In this video I take on the Vulnversity challenge. In this challenge we're presented with a website and need to get root on the server. Using a php shell we manage to get a shell on the box, but with only user privileges. We need to get root privileges though and to do that we'll be exploiting a vulnerability in systemctl. Its the first of these types of videos so the format will definitely be changing. There is no talking, but there is some music, so hopefully its ok to watch. Anyway, thanks all for watching and hopefully we'll see you in the next one!
Check out - tryhackme.com , sign up and take on some of the challenges.
In this video I used namp for the initial enumeration and the gobuster to find the hidden directory. I could have use burp suite to automate the file extension checking, but I just did it the manual way, since there was only a handful of extensions to try. From there I could have used Metasploit, but since the OSCP exam only lets you use it on 1 machine, Ive been trying to do everything manually.[43] Channel Update - Coronavirus and Challenge LocksHalfzipp2020-03-15 | Just a quick update on the status of my channel. Im still around, still going to make videos, just want to get the passion back. It turned into a job, that I was doing for free, and that made it pretty frustrating and made me lose the passion for the hobby.

My wife bought me this lock and didnt know, at the time, what a warded lock was. Thankfully I already had a couple of these and had made a master key for them. Unfortunatley though it seems Secure slightly changed the keyway so I had to quickly modify my master key to fit in. I still think its amazing that companies still make warded locks. I guess they're cheap to manufacture, but I would use them on anything I actually want to be secure, lol.

#StockLockSunday[27] Unboxing - Package from Den Brass - With a Really Nice SurpriseHalfzipp2019-12-18 | In this episode I open a package from Den Brass. I get a nice surprise as well. The key on that CL is pretty crazy and looking forward to getting all of those on video soon. The Medeco will be my second purple lock, the first being the MTL Jr. So once I get that open, I can request an upgrade to purple belt. Had a bit of an accident while gutting the Anker Miwa which pretty well bricked it. With some surgery and luck I managed to salvage it though. Just waiting for a part from Amazon and it should be good as new, hopefully. Definitely looking forward to getting that one on video, being that its a hall of fame black belt lock.

I dont normally post on Sunday's but I figured since I didnt pick anything yesterday that I would make up for it with this video. I had to get creative with the tensioning as I made this video before I got the Goat wrench from Sparrows. It was a bit long so I sped up parts of it. These tubular locks have to be picked multiple times to get them open, which is a bit tedious, but still fun.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patreon: patreon.com/halfzippTLPW[16] Picked - Abus 75IB/50 - This is 6 pins??..Halfzipp2019-11-20 | In this episode I open an Abus model 75IB/50, the marine version. This is another Abus dimple lock and a lot of fun. The lock has a lot of feedback, big counter rotation and needs feather light tension. Doesnt have a spring loaded shackle and has a dead core. I made it sound like this was a 5 pin lock but its actually a 6 pin lock. Looking at the bitting again, it seems 3 and 5 may be at shear and I was actually setting 1, 2, 4 and 6. Im still new to these dimple locks and sometimes get a bit lost inside there lol. So a bit of a fail video in that respect, but I did get it open pretty quick. :)

Some things didnt go so well but the pick itself was good. I really love this lock and still really enjoying picking it, even though Ive opened it several times now. I think everyone should get one of these. They really arent as tough as some people make them seem, and I think its a great way to get in to higher end dimple locks. These locks teach you really good pick placement, because you need good pick placement or youre not finding the inner pins. This skill really does help with any other lock that youre going to pick, be it pin tumblers or dimple locks.

I know its not Tuesday but what can you do :). Things went well, which rarely happens on video lol. Only had 1 overset pin, so pretty happy with this one. Really a fun lock to pick although it did take a while for me to get the hang of it. This lock gives great feedback and really loud clicks, probably due to the plastic casing that almost amplifies the clicks. Ive found that pretty light/light-medium tension and being gentle with the pick is key with this one.

#StockLockSunday[11] - Picked and Gutted - American 1100 - %$#@!! Overset much?!Halfzipp2019-11-09 | In this episode I pick and gut an American 1100, my first blue belt lock. The serrated pins and incredibly short and weak springs make it very easy to overset pins, and it happens a lot in this video. I was having a terrible time trying to get this open until I read a few posts that talked about using super light tension. This is what finally did it for me. Just enough tension to hold a piece of paper against a wall. Then use a very gentle touch on the pins, like barely even pushing them up. Once you feel even a small click, move on to the next pin and just keep doing that until it opens. Easier said than done, but this is how I got it open. I end up fast forwarding a big section of this. Didnt want the video to be too long lol. So now I'm pretty much ready to go for my blue belt, which is pretty exciting, and I have a purple belt lock coming in a couple days.

This is the first of many dimple locks that Ill be attempting. So far Im having a lot of fun with them, although I havent tried anything too challenging, yet. I do have a Mul-T-Lock Junior coming, which will definitely be a challenge. The Honest Dong-Shi dimple picks that Im using are so far holding up, but they're getting a bit sketchy. I had to file them down a lot to get into the Abus keyway, so they're starting to twist a bit, which means they're probably going to start breaking soon. I got them from Banggood for a pretty decent price, like $30 CAD.
Anyway, thanks again so much for watching and I hope you all enjoyed. Stay tuned for the next episode!

So far Im liking the Petersons more than Sparrows, but Sparrows is less expensive for me, being that I live in Canada.

It didnt quite go as planned though lol. Sometimes things work out, sometimes it just takes a little while longer lol.
Anyway, thanks again so much for watching and I hope you all enjoyed. Stay tuned for the next episode!

I could barely get a pin set on this thing until just a couple days ago. I somewhat figured out the binding order, but am still not super comfortable with opening this, or consistent for that matter. This opening actually goes really well, which is always a nice surprise when youre making a video. Usually these things become very shy and forget that they actually open Lol. I definitley need to get more Abus locks. Im a huge fan of their locks and really cant think of anything negative to say about them.
Anyway, thanks again so much for watching and I hope you all enjoyed. Stay tuned for the next episode!
- Locking Phoenix - youtube.com/channel/UCe6SsD4XLD5x_t7eR0dgo1A[7] Picked and Gutted - Kwikset 660 - Security Pins?Halfzipp2019-10-26 | Got a bit of a surprise while gutting this lock. Definitely wouldnt recommend this as anything but a platform to make a CL. I guess it is kind of fun though, to pick easy locks. Gets the confidence up lol.
Anyway, thanks again so much for watching and I hope you all enjoyed. Stay tuned for the next episode!
- Locking Phoenix - youtube.com/channel/UCe6SsD4XLD5x_t7eR0dgo1A[6] Picked - Master Lock 570 - Camera Shy?Halfzipp2019-10-23 | I opened this lock a couple times before the video, just to get comfortable. Both times I got a false set right away as I set pin 1. Of course this time, on camera, I get nothing from pin 1. Needless to say, it took a bit longer than expected to get it open lol.
If you noticed the bunch of orange padlocks on the sides of the video, those are 12 Abus 72/40s that I picked up from Amazon. Got them for under $5CAD each, in a case of 12. Im going to be gutting them and turning them into challenge locks. I figure thats a bit nicer than the usual Kwikset rim locks that people use for challenge locks.
Anyway, thanks again so much for watching and I hope you all enjoyed. Stay tuned for the next episode!
- Locking Phoenix - youtube.com/channel/UCe6SsD4XLD5x_t7eR0dgo1A[5] Picked - Abus 80TI/50 - Accidental Speed Pick?Halfzipp2019-10-19 | In this episode I pick an Abus 80TI/50. Seems I may need to get one with a bit more challenging bitting. Lots of feedback on this thing. Definitely a fun lock to pick. Anyway, its a super short video, so hope you all enjoy. Btw, this 2 times a week upload is tough for me lol. Im finding it tough to wait to upload videos and am wondering if I should do more than just 2 a week. Let me know what you guys think. :)

Dont forget to check out the lockpicking subreddit!SOCEX 03-18 - TFE - Were getting flanked!Halfzipp2018-03-19 | This is some footage from Sunday's SOCEX 03-18 on TF Echo. There were some server issues so it was just ACE and Weapons on TF Echo, which actually turned out really well. We were tasked with providing security while extracting pilots from a downed chopper. We had some contacts, almost got flanked, but I saved us, and we got to blow some shit up, which is always a good thing lol. I believe we have one more of these and if we've done well, we'll be getting deployed. Looking forward to that.
