thank god! i thought i was the only one.

Steve, go play with dynamite.

!!! delete these damn posts please !!!

Ohh yah, and the 20 man hr rating is for manually getting the combo to the safe. Usually physically busting the safe open is no more than 20 minutes. But heck isn’t it faster and quieter to break into a building with a jack and a pallete and steal the entire safe rather than sit there with a firey (alarmy) torch or a noisey cut off wheel?

and

@Freiheit,
about what you were saying with the hinges, that is so true. it’s all about the weakest link (not the show with the brit lady) in the system. I’ve seen doors that have these metal fixtures on the door and on the frame, with a lock attatched through both of them. the metal fixtures were screwed on.
but for this “document safe” in question, i would hope there is not such a glaring hole.

finally

as for the hack itself: i love stuff like this because its simplistic elegance. brute force is amazingly elegant in my opinion. it’s failproof and simple.
simply amazing.

to all the people offended by “Steve” – Dont take his actions as an exaple of a british person; take him as an example of a knob head.
