Researchers at Defcon just showed they can crack the Securam ProLogic locks used on high-security safes to protect guns, cash, and narcotics in pharmacies.

When they told Securam last year, it sent them legal threats—and didn't fix the flaws.

Today's task I just completed to avoid doom scrolling was going through a storage tub of CDs to reunite discs and liner notes with jewel cases. They'd originally gone from cases to ProLogic sleeves, then later from sleeves to zip up flip storage cases, so it's a miracle even some were reunited. 🎉

Securam ProLogic locks are used across the US on safes sold by Fort Knox, High Noble, FireKing, Tracker, ProSteel, Rhino Metals, Sun Welding, Corporate Safe Specialists, and pharmacy safe companies Cennox and NarcSafe specifically to hold drugs in pharmacies.

Security researchers discovered vulnerabilities in digital locks used in multiple physical safes, including one marketed as “America’s #1 heavy-duty home and gun safe manufacturer.” With help from EFF, they disclosed the research at Defcon. www.wired.com/story/secur...

One of their safecracking techniques exploits a manufacturer backdoor to instantly obtain the combination. The other uses a custom tool to extract the combination from a hidden port inside the lock's battery compartment, shown here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYCe...

For a new episode of Hacklab, our hands-on hacking video series, we tested safecracking methods that can open Securam ProLogic locks on 8 brands of high security safes used in stores and pharmacies nationwide.

Morale of the story: Backdoors leave people vulnerable.

“That is a Securam Prologic high security safe. It can be opened with a Secyram Prologic high-security safe.” *slams a second safe into the first, cracking both open in one move*

a thing I like about Laserdiscs is that pre 1991 or so, most discs had a lossless prologic matrixed track, so between the 80s and the introduction of DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD, it was the only lossless surround format (except, ofc, it was three front, one back, which is a sort of absurd arrangement)

ProLogic sound needs a quality ProLogic decoder :)

Ja, und das Floppy-LW später um Faktor 60 beschleunigt. 400DM (Prologic DOS) zusätzliche HW, statt serieller Paralellübertragung, Zusatzspeicher in LW um einen Track in einem Umlauf mit Interleaving 1 zu lesen, Overclocking von 1 auf 2MHz, Lüftungsschlitze und fetten Lüfter zur Kühlung eingebaut.

How does it compare to ProLogic?

Dolby 2.0 meaning prologic?

I remember the console themed speakers of the time quite well. They always struck me as an odd concept... surely most TVs had speakers? Usually reasonably good ones on CRTs!

I upgraded my AV receiver to one with Dolby ProLogic II support for my GameCube, so never got the appeal of these things. 😅

ProLogic is an upgrade and renaming of Dolby Surround, but it’s a similar system, and PL was released before TNG was broadcast
