  • Securityits pretty important.

  • Today we're going to talk about 2 methods of securing your stuff.

  • One is this high-tech fingerprint scanning padlock from Tapplock.

  • We'll see if we can physically hack our way into it and see how it works.

  • And the second is securing yourself online or on your cell phone with a VPN.

  • Huge thanks to NordVPN for sponsoring this video.

  • Let's get started.

  • [Intro]

  • Unlocking smartphones with fingerprints has been around for years now.

  • It's effective and pretty darn efficient.

  • Today we have a padlock that can use a fingerprint to unlockthe Tapplock One.

  • It seems pretty high tech.

  • It's been seen on CNN, Unbox Therapy, and raised over $300,000 on IndieGoGo last year

  • before going into production.

  • And like always, on my channel we're going to see how it works...from the inside.

  • You might be thinking to yourself, 'Hey Jerry, it seems pretty cool, why shouldn't I buy

  • it?'

  • Well, let me tell you.

  • The little guy has a proprietary charging port and a power button down at the bottom...nothing

  • wrong with that yet.

  • One click of the power button activates the fingerprint scanner which allows you to scan

  • one of your fingers and unlock the lock.

  • Pretty simple, right?

  • I'm a fan of it so far.

  • The little contraption can hold 500 different fingerprints and has a 1 year battery life.

  • It's even IP66 water resistant.

  • So as long as your treasure chest isn't locked up underwater, it'll still work just fine

  • in the rain or the elements.

  • Thumbs up for all of that so far.

  • Plus, the whole thing is made from metal, which makes you think it would be hard to

  • get inside of, but sit tight and let's find out.

  • Scratching up the face revealed the whole front of the lock with solid metal.

  • And the sides are also metal.

  • And even the back of the Tapplock is metal, with no visible openings...or so I thought.

  • At first it didn't appear that the back was removableit wouldn't pry off when I tried.

  • Before I break out the heavy artillery though and review this from the inside, let's scratch

  • the fingerprint scanner.

  • A few initial scratches and the lock still opens just fine.

  • You can hear the little motor inside motoring up the shackle and unlocking the padlock.

  • Even after a few more scratches, the lock still functions.

  • So far it appears to be solidly constructed, durable, and secure...or so, at least that's

  • what I thought.

  • Let's keep going.

  • I broke out the dremel to gauge the thickness of the metal, but trying to cut through the

  • stainless steel and advertised anti-shim and anti-pry design, my dremel just wasn't making

  • it through the body.

  • Even dremeling through the fingerprint scanner itself, there was zero ways for a hacker to

  • unlock the lock and steal your stuff, like your bike or your sweaty gym clothes, from

  • this side.

  • It was only after I brought out the big guns that I find the fatal flaw in Tapplock's design.

  • [Drilling sounds]

  • Got it!

  • It was about here that I realized that the back panel of the lock wasn't secured at all.

  • Right next to that sliced in half lithium ion battery.

  • It just falls away from that lock.

  • Apparently I was opening it wrong before.

  • It doesn't pry offit's a twist-to-unlock like a jar.

  • I couldn't see that until I had a view from the inside.

  • I'll be testing my twist off theory in a second.

  • Digging deeper, there were three normal Phillips head screws on the back half of the lock.

  • And once those were unscrewed, the face of the lock fell away revealing more normal Phillips

  • head screws and a metal plate covering the motor.

  • Once those were gone and I got inside, I can lift up the locking bar in the center, and

  • the shackle comes completely free from the housing exposing your goods to the world.

  • If my theory is correct, anyone with a simple screwdriver could hack this lock in under

  • 30 seconds.

  • So should we try it?

  • Yeah.

  • We should.

  • I went out and bought another $100 brand new Tapplock, available on New Egg and Best Buy,

  • opened up the box and twisted off the back of the lock like an expensive cookie jar,

  • using a GoPro mount.

  • Revealing a battery and 3 screws.

  • And in the space of about 30 seconds, I had the front panel off, and it's screws removed,

  • and the locking bar up and out of the lock housing.

  • And all of my stuff that was previously locked up in the shackle is now not my stuff anymore.

  • Obviously a thief walking around with bolt cutters could totally steal your bike in a

  • bout 30 seconds as well.

  • But no one is ever going to call the cops on a guy with a screwdriver.

  • This lock just doesn't do a good job of locking.

  • Tapplock could easily fix this problem by welding the back shut, or even using proprietary

  • screws inside instead of a normal Phillips head.

  • I'll be more than happy to make a follow up video if Tapplock decides to fix these issues

  • with the next version of their lock.

  • As of right now though, the lock costs $100 and can easily be hacked in 30 seconds by

  • anyone with a normal screwdriver and a GoPro mount.

  • So I just can't really recommend anyone buy it.

  • Bad guys are always going to find a way to figure out how to do bad stuff, so it's good

  • to find out from the good guys if there's a flaw or not in the system.

  • And speaking of good guys, rated Number One Virtual Private Network by PC Magazine, is

  • NordVPN.

  • They had nothing to do with this lock situation.

  • I seriously thought this thing was going to be fine.

  • A Virtual Private Network does a couple different things.

  • One, it encrypts your network traffic from one location to the other, so your information

  • is untrackable when you're on a public Wi-Fi like an airport or hotel.

  • Everyone knows that Virtual Private Networks, or VPNs can be used on computers, but they

  • can also be used on cellphones like Androids, and iPhones, and Windows phones.

  • And with NordVPN, it can secure 6 devices simultaneously: your computer, your laptop,

  • and all of your cellphones.

  • And since NordVPN has over 4,000 servers in over 62 different countries, it can appear

  • like your traffic's coming from anywhere.

  • And you can get around country specific censorship laws, like in China and the Middle East.

  • Or if you want to access a YouTube video that's not available in your country, you can just

  • jump on a different server.

  • For a totally risk-free trial of NordVPN, you can use discount code 'jerryrig' and get

  • a 77% discount off of a 3 year plan.

  • I think it comes down to like 2 dollars and 75 cents a month.

  • Www.nordvpn/jerryrig and if you don't like it, at least you're protected for those 30

  • days, and their 24/7 customer support will take care of you either way.

  • It's probably a lot more secure than this thing was.

  • If you have any questions, leave them down in the comments.

  • And if Tapplock ever does any upgrades or updates to their lock to make it more secure,

  • you'll find out here first.

  • Thanks a ton for watching, and I'll see you around.

Securityits pretty important.
