Cracking a Combination Padlock

[l0ckp1cker]

I wrote a manual / paper on how to crack a combination padlock and retrieving the combination required.

Although this technique is probably already known to many of you, perhaps it can help someone who doesn't know yet.

Here's the link to the pdf.

nicetutorial...though i already know how to do it....hah...just a few days ago my friend found a padlock similar to the abus ine the manual.....but it was only 3-digit combo......opened it very easily.....

wow thanks! does that work for every combo lock or is there a diffrent mechanism for older locks ?

There are many combination mechanisms, but most fall under a few catagories. Open, and Concealed.
This cheap padlock is a very low grade security, as it can be decoded simply be reading the discs, as he has shown.

Higher grades, for example a Simplex mechanism, have concealed combinations and you cannot view or read the combination.
