So I guess you are wondering why we have written an article about how to build a free standing door? Well, back in 2017 we went to Platypus Camp which was a hacker conference, but camping, and they had a lock picking door! I spent ages on it bypassing the locks and chains. Ever since then we have wanted to …
This is the first of our articles looking at how to bypass a tamper evident bag, also called a security satchel. We first came across these in one of the OzSecCon Tamper Evident Challenges. People really struggle with these as most attacks target the tamper evident strip and they are REALLY hard to remove without damaging. Above we have a …

It has an eInk display which is something we have been wanting to get to play with at home so we are extra excited. Dad helped us a LOT working all the stuff out below cause …
A while back I got hold of a 5 letter Wordlock padlock, which is a combination padlock but has letters on the dials instead of numbers. It’s supposed to make it easier to remember your combination. As with all the combination locks I get my hands on, I start to try and work out how to crack the combination. The …
Today I’m going to take you through how to pick a combination lock. A couple of weeks ago we picked up a pair of 4 digit combination padlocks from Bunnings to see if we could easily bypass them. As it came in a pair we thought we could have one for picking and one to cut open so we could …
I started writing this article two years ago and only finally finished it! The idea to write about tamper evident bypassing and what it is came up because we had an interview to get into a new school one morning and we were asked about tamper evident bypassing. We were asked what it is and we realised its actually hard …
In 2017, 2018 and 2019 we competed in the Tamper Evident Bypass Challenge at OzSecCon in Melbourne. In 2018, after the conference, we put up a post about the 15 challenges and how to bypass them. In 2018 we also presented on bypassing tamper evident seals, many of which were in the competition. We decided it was time we create …

Here is the transcript, slides and videos from our keynote speech. Let us know in the comments what you think. Enjoy! Mos: Good morning everyone and welcome to SecuriDay, we …
Why I Wanted to Bypass an ABUS 158KC/45 Combination Padlock In year 5 and up at my school we are given a locker with an Abus 158KC/45 combination padlock. One of my best friends forgot her locker code and came to me to ask me if I could open it. Not sure why she would think I could get past …
Sorry it’s taken so long to get this post about OzSecCon 2019 up but we’ve just been really busy doing random kid stuff. Also when we were at OzSecCon we had an offer to be the keynote speakers at Kids SecuriDay in Canberra which we weren’t expecting so we had to get working on that. It was a lot of …
Sorry we’ve been so quiet lately but we have been preparing for a totally new presentation. No tamper-evident bypasses. No lockpicking. Nothing physical at all!!! When we were at OzSecCon 2019 back in June, we were approached and asked to do a Keynote at a kids security conference!!! Kids SecuriDay!!! What an honour!!! So we have been working hard on …
BSides Canberra 2019 is over but it was amazing and I did a lot of things this year. In the Locksport Village I did a bit of lock picking to start with. But this year I learned how to crack open a safe! With the small electronic safes, you can bounce them to disengage the pins. It’s all about wiggling …
