Hey and welcome to Keystone of the Kingdom. This is a talk on targeting best SFIC locks and you'll know in a second about what that is just in case you don't. This is a talk being given to DEFCON 28's lockpicking village. Unfortunately, we have COVID going on in the world and we are not going to be able to meet in person. So I would encourage you to reach out to me on Twitter, reach out to me on Discord inside of the DEFCON channel and I'd love to have your thoughts, your opinions, any questions you have set on my way. I'm very happy to discuss. Who am I? My name is Austin Mark. I'm a security enthusiast, first and foremost. I have been doing pen testing for a number of years for a small to mid-market tax consulting and audit firm called RSM and doing red team assessments where we regularly run into best SFIC locks. We see them in the field. On the right hand side, you also have my hack the box profile, Twitter, website. Feel free to reach out to me on any of those and you have a disclaimer. I am not a locksmith. So my thoughts, opinions on how to secure locks probably should only be taken as an attacker, things that I think work, but really remediating these issues or operating your locks is something that's best sent to a locksmith who can give you better advice than I can. On the left hand side, you have a photo of me at IKEA. I don't believe I ever got that mirror, which is unfortunate, but as I was flipping through photos trying to find something that I thought was appropriate for this talk, this was the one that stood out to me. All right. So this is anthology. This is a collection of talks that I'm giving at DEF CON and hopefully years to come. Other conferences. This is just how I organize my talks is all under this anthology brand.  It's kind of like a circuit board. That's just my little anthology symbol. So while parts of this lab should be done with locks and keys in hand, I'd really prefer this to be a hands-on talk. We're going to deal with COVID and we're going to have some parts of this be a web-based CTF where you can at least learn a little bit about Vest as Fix. When we get done with the talk, I will open up the CTF and anybody who'd like to can join in, chase down some flags. There will be a prize for whomever wins. So feel free to reach out if you believe that you're the winner and I think we'll wrap this up 24 hours after the talk. Down at the bottom, you have some logins. You have a CTF login at PCTF.ant.red. That is a CTFD instance that has some challenges. I think there's something like 10 challenges. Just kind of shooting the gambit across different parts of a targeting a Vest ESPIC system. You also have course materials that just links out to a GitHub page. You can pull down some PDFs and some further learning resources. If you're interested in Vest ESPICs. And then you've got a Keystone web instance. You'll learn a little bit more in a second about what Keystone web is. But there it is out at ksw.ant.red. And down at the bottom, you have a login for that. All right, so let's jump into the agenda. So here's what we're going to try to cover. What are ESPICs? What are keymarks? It's kind of in the name. It's the marks on the best ESPIC keys. Where are ESPICs? So where are you going to find them? And then what can we do once we found them? So first and foremost, what is an ESPIC? SFIC stands for Small Format Interchangeable Core. Let's see. Yep, you guys can see it there. They're a way for businesses to change which key goes to which door quickly. They can also provide a means of access control. So Sally shouldn't be able to go into Jim's room. But the janitor should probably be able to go everywhere, right? So that janitor needs to be able to get access to both of their rooms. So to be able to do that, you have a master key that will open both doors. So to that end, these pins that go inside of these locks are considered master keyed. There's a number of different segments and you'll see in a second what those kind of look like. Moving on from that, where are we going to find SFICs? SFICs are in schools, office buildings, hotels, and very large businesses. So you'll see them very regularly. I remember when I gave this talk or a talk similar to this last year at DEF CON, I noticed a ton of SFICs all around me. It's kind of one of those things where you get a new car and all of a sudden everybody's driving your car, right? So this is kind of the same thing. You figure out that you have an interest in SFICs and everybody suddenly has a SFIC and it's always something to look at, right? So what are key marks? Key marks are exactly what they sound like. It's simply a stamp that is put on a key for tracking. Should help you know if a key goes to a door. And it'll also help you track who has access to what. So what can we do once we know that there's an SFIC that is part of this environment that we're targeting? We could potentially pick it. We can potentially duplicate some of those keys. If we're able to get access to them, we're able to move laterally with those keys because they are part of the system. So if you know where you are within a system, you can potentially move from one door to another. And that all gets kind of done by doing what is called system decoding. And we'll walk through some of what that is and how we do that. So we'll talk a little more about what these SFICs really are. So an SFIC as it would be installed is on the left hand side. You can see on the front, you've got a core mark of what appears to be PG7. And it says best. So you definitely know you're dealing with a best SFIC rather than another manufacturer's SFIC. For this talk, we will be specifically talking about best. A2 system SFICs, which is the most common. These are the ones that I see the most often in the field. This is a door that would only be openable by the PG7 key or another master key or key that is mastered to the PG7 core mark. So if I were to get a key at an elevated part of the hierarchy, I could also operationally open this door. You also have a control key control keys can open any door in a system. And they're particularly sensitive. And we'll talk a little bit about how to get access to those a little bit. So on the inside of an SFIC, this one has been fully gutted. So you don't really have any pins in here, but it helps us kind of walk through what the different items are. There is a cap that typically goes in the top. You have an operating shear line that will allow this to turn freely, which would move these throw pins and unlock a door. Or if there is a different, the control pins are set in such a way that the control log would turn. This would allow the core to then rotate and pull in the control log, which would allow you to remove the core from the door. So that is the parts and pieces of an SFIC core. We'll have a kind of exploded picture after this that should help explain that a little further. And really the goal of this slide is to make sure you're familiar with the control log, which allows this to be placed in a door, secured to a door, and then operated with operating keys. Cool. All right. So I see cores. These are interchangeable cores. On the left-hand side, you have a standard housing that will typically hold one of these cores. It's not exclusively these indoor cores. You might actually have padlock, much like this one. Yeah. So you could potentially gain access to one of these. And when we start talking about removing cores and walking off with something and gaining access to the full system because you have something in hand, something like a padlock like this is particularly useful. Right? And then on the right-hand side, you have an exploded version where you can see the key, the plug, the bottom pins, the cylinder cover, cylinder itself, all of the segments we talked about. So that's part of that master keying. And then your springs and your top pins that you will be bumping out. If you're going to get one of these locks. All right. Moving on, let's talk about S-FIT keys. So these are S-FIT keys like this. And you can kind of see on the front there a key mark. So on our screenshot, it's BA1. On the one in hand, it is SR1. On the key in hand, we also have a key way marking that is H, if you can see that. I hope. And then there's also key way mark A on the key in the picture. The serialization marking is particularly useful for tracking multiples of the same key. So let's say we had 10 of these, and I wanted to know if Stu lost his version of the key. I'd like to be able to know which key is missing by maybe taking a count of all the keys and saying, hey, serialization key is missing this specific serialization. Stu, what happened? I thought we trusted you with that key. All right. And then lastly, it's just this tipstop. So let's talk about systems. So this is the hierarchy of a best S-FIT system. The top, you have the control. The control key will operate every key within a system and also allow you to remove one of these S-FIT cores from the door. And if you can remove a core, you can decode the entire system. We'll talk a little bit about what that means and what the impact of that is. But if you can get a control key, you're golden. If you can get a grandmaster key, you're also golden. A grandmaster key will operationally turn every lock within a system. So if you can grab a grandmaster key, you can open up any door within that system. So typically, you'll see GM written on a key that is a grandmaster key. So if you can find a key on a lanyard or sitting on a desk that says GM, that might be one to take a picture of or borrow for a moment or what have you. Typically, if there's different systems within, there might be a master of system A, master of system B, and those are just submasters. So many times you'll see written as MA, MB, MC, MD. It's not a hard and fast rule. It doesn't have to be true. It's a general thing that has been observed over the years. Operating keys. As we've discussed, these are keys that you typically give an authorized user to access their office or their door or the server room or some other sensitive area. I've been told by a number of college students that they see these operating keys or they're given them as part of their dorms. So maybe they have the operating key to their door and a submaster belongs to a... whoever runs that part of the dormitory. A CA, I think, if you call it. Moving on. Keyways. So let's talk a little bit about keyways. The best SFIC keyways are a part of their control system. The keyways are intended to increase the complexity of an attack against best SFICs. So if I were to hold up this best SFIC that has, I believe, to be an H keyway and I were to pop that key in there, he works no problem. So he fits in there no issue whatsoever. And then if I were to hold these two SFIC keys together, you should see they're very different. Very different cuts. So unfortunately, even though this is a completely empty keyway, I'm not going to be able to fit that in there. And that's just a function of a control of the best SFIC family. So in the middle, you can see a chart of all the different keyways that best offers on their standard non-Cormax, non-overly complicated best course. Again, this is just targeting, this specific talk is just going to be about best SFICs inside of the A2 system because these are the most common ones that I see. There are also multi-keyway keys. So this is kind of exciting. So if you take a look at the WAWBWC items on your chart, you'll see that those keyways are kind of similar. So you could potentially have a single key that works for all three. And this just adds additional complexity and mastering opportunities between different best SFIC cores. On the right hand side, you can see a Falcon multiplex family set of core keyways. Those, I think it's just a good example of an all-section key up at the top and then you've got two multi-section keys that are kind of unique. And then it steps down into single-section keys and then another keyway that would potentially open for any key. So the e-keyway is potentially openable by all the other ones above it. So moving on. Let's talk about lateral movement. This item here on the right is straight from a code book. A code book is something a locksmith uses to track what the key codes are for a key.  That bidding directly relates to the key code. So if you can get a key code, you can cut a key. Up at the top, you have SMBA. So that's a submaster for the BA system. And then you have a couple other keys that are part of the BA system. All right. So if you note, there is actually a pattern going on between the fifth and sixth columns of the key code where it kind of steps up by two and then down or vice versa. It could be if you're going from the third column from the right to the column second from the right, you're going down and then up, up, up, and you're cycling every four by two. So it's a lot easier for me to show you a video of what this actually looks like, because it looks a little complicated here, but there is definitely a pattern that you can abuse. So potentially you can move laterally. All right. So we talked a little bit about the keys themselves and kind of the key codes and what they mean. Let's talk about what happens if you get a key in hand. If you can get a key in your hand, you could use a key to coder and you could quickly discern the bidding and recreate those keys or at least get an understanding for where that key goes within a system. And then you could also use calipers. So calipers, probably not these little tiny measuring calipers on the right-hand side that attach to a key chain, but calipers will measure your pins or your bidding on a key and you can use that to recreate either a core or the key itself. So if you can get a key or core in hand, you can definitely duplicate it then. All right. Key and photo. You could use one of these decoding charts. These are provided by DB and Olam. I find these ones very useful. Their usefulness depends on the quality of the photo that you take, of course. If you have a photo that's kind of jostled or shot from across the room, it might be a little more difficult to actually make that photo work for you. But with some Photoshop magic, you might be in luck. There's also an app called Snaptacoder. I have had mixed results with this app. Honestly, I haven't gotten much usage out of it, but I figured I'd share it. This app promises to be able to discern the bidding of a key by holding it up to the app. So in an ideal world, you would be able to take this app and maybe in a future update or maybe an update that I haven't seen, you'd be able to point this app at a key, tell it it's a best-espect key, and it will tell you the bidding, and then you can go off-site, recreate that key, and start opening doors right then and there. These are two ways that you could take a key and a photo using a decoding chart or an app and start to understand what the bidding is for that key and potentially recreate it before handing it back to a marker or having to leave it somewhere so you're not being detected. So we talked about key in hand, key in photo, what about key on web? So keys on websites that are directory integrated. That sounds great to me as an attacker. As a red teamer, I'm always targeting active directory. That's something that we're always looking for. It's a way to move laterally within AD. Keystone Web is an active directory managed and active directory joined website where you can, their phrase is it will help the user manage keys and core records for multiple personnel throughout various locations. This product allows for importing and appending data, mass deletes for employees, key and door key data, and an activity log that tracks user transactions. So if we add a new employee, maybe he gets a new key to his door. If I have access to this website, I know exactly what that key is. And then I also know the master key, right? So if I look on the right hand side here, we see the master key code is 8301836. If I recreate a key with that code, I can now open every door within that system. And then you also see the control key bidding. So that one was 4189250. That's particularly useful because that tells me that I can now start removing some of these cores from the system if I want to and adding my own for potential denial of service, of course, but there may be more interesting things that you can do by swapping out a core. You might be able to start decoding the system if you don't have access to something as powerful as Keystone Web. We can also see up at the top the system type, which is an A2 system. I know we spoke about specifically best SFIC A2 systems, and that's what we would be targeting. We see the keyway for this system. So this is an A keyway system. And we see it's a 7-pin system. So we know that we're going to be working with 7-pin locks. The majority of the best SFIC systems I see are 7-pin systems. And part of what makes them difficult to pick is the fact that they're 7-pins but then also they have master keying. And because they have master keying, it's very easy for those as wafers to fall as you're picking. And it's very hard to line them up consistently with what would be an actual operating bidding. But we will talk a little bit about picking to control. And that's something you would do if the core is in the door. So if the core is in the door, you can pick to control with a Peterson iCore tensioning tool. So this is a Type A tool. This is for tensioning a SFIC. And what it's doing is it's putting pressure on the bottom of the core inside of those holes that we saw, these same holes here, if you can see that. So those holes are getting tensioned by this tool. And what that does is that forces pressure on where the control pins would be. And because there's now pressure there, when you pick the lock, you have a higher likelihood of picking to control. And if you pick to control, you could potentially get this core out of the door, which would be great because now we can open that door, but we can also replace the core with a core of our choosing or begin to decode the system. And we'll talk about that just after this. There is another option.  It's not my name for it, but that's basically jamming a pick inside of a best SFIC over and over again, fairly aggressively. These locks are actually fairly prone to that. Something to do with the way that master wafers work.  And if you're able to do that, you kind of have the keys to the kingdom. You can decode every part of the system once a core is in your hand. So then I also have a photo of the Leishi best SFIC 2-in-1. This is a decoder for best SFIC locks that you can decode. This is the operating key as you pick. So you put tension on the core and you're able to decode it using the chart on the right hand side. They're a little spendy, so I don't carry one, but I do have a couple for non best SFICs. Cool. So core in hand. So let's say we're able to get one of these cores in hand. What we might want to do is pull the pins out so we can actually understand how the system works and decode that system. So we might 3D print one of these. This is a SFIC pin extraction tool or repinning tool. Red Cat Imaging put this out on Thingiverse. I strongly recommend you go pull it down from there. A standard, all metal version of this goes for well over $100 everywhere that I've ever seen them. And a 3D printed version is pennies. And they work beautifully. So from what I've been told, they're not an easy print, but if you were to pull one in and run it inside of a Prusa, apparently they've been fairly successful. I had a friend print this off for me and it works great. Essentially you're going to take your SFIC, pop them inside. You can do, you can hammer on to the number of different ways. Some people like to use the like a flag pin that you could stick in the top of one of these holes and knock the pins out of the bottom. What you're going to do is you're going to pop the caps on the back here and hopefully all of that gets collected. Hopefully just the top caps.  And really what you're interested in is the top pin. So we're going to talk a little bit about the coating pins. So we've extracted pins. We've hammered them out. And you can see I've got them sitting inside of a little sparrows tray that I've got with the top pins up top. And we can begin to kind of measure those. So there's my calipers on the right hand side. We were able to measure them. And for whatever reason this is in millimeters, but it needs to be converted to inches for the chart that's provided by, I believe this was from Best. And it comes out to for this specific pin that I was measuring 0.07. So that 0.07 pin lines up with a 6B pin. So we know that that top pin is a 6B pin. So that helps us understand, OK, so here's our top pins. Here's what each of these items are if we want to recreate this core. But where this gets really helpful and really interesting is when we start to decode a system using this. So this is a decoding chart. So we can fill this out with your top pins, your build-up pins, master pins. If there are any, of course, they're typically will be in a lock like this. And then you will subtract from 13 the measure of your top pin. And that will give you the control key bidding. So as we discussed, a control key thing is something you can use to create a control key. And if you create a control key that can open every lock in the system. If you can open every lock in the system, you can go into any door in the organization that you're targeting. So if you can potentially gain access to a lock like this or perhaps it's the core of a bathroom or something that's non-sensitive and you're able to decode the control key, you can now leave, come back with that control key and start removing cores to very sensitive doors that you'd like to gain access to. And that's it for this talk on Keystone to the Kingdom, a talk about targeting best S-FIC locks. I would ask for a Q&A here now, but because this is COVID, we're all remote. We can't do that, but I would encourage you to reach out to me on Twitter, send me a DM on Discord, and don't be a stranger. Feel free to reach out, give me your thoughts, ask questions. If something wasn't clear, let me know. And I welcome it, so thank you.


I have a question that I kind of consider kind of mundane after all these universal global questions about the war and peace, but what I'm interested in is the education system in Iraq. What's going on between K-12, is it secular, is it religious? And also, the student movement in the university isn't divided into Shia and Sunni, and what's happening with the student movement and what's happening with the education system? The education system is in shambles. Enrollment's down to about 30%. I'm doing a story on this right now, actually. It's over 70%. It's like 71%, 72%. Maximum 76% of girls are not going to school because their families are too afraid to let them. Teachers are fleeing, they're being threatened.  So then they either flee or they start just passing people. So that's starting to happen now. And the education system, it's in a state of collapse without a doubt. And as student groups, that kind of thing, again, there's really none of that, nothing I think really worth even a mention. I'm sure it's happening to some degree, but I haven't seen any kind of organizing or anything like that because unfortunately in Iraq, the occupation has been so brutal and savage, whether you talk about the US military or militias or death squads, really the only resistance that's left for people is armed resistance because the times that nonviolent resistance has been applied, it's been met with extreme violence.


India becomes most populous country in the world. According to the United Nations data, India has surpassed China to become world's most populous nation with 142.86 crore people. According to the UN World Population Touchboard, China has a population of 142.57 crore. India's population has grown by more than 1 billion people since 1950, the year the UN began gathering population data. Last year, the number of people in China shrank for the first time since 1960. Beijing ended its strict one-child policy imposed in the 1980s amid overpopulation fears in 2016 and started letting couples have three children in 2021.

How many guys, how many families went, how many dads went, you know what? We're taking the kids, we're taking the wife, the family's gonna go out to see Katie and the sons tonight, play OKC, who has a bunch of great youngsters to watch.  We don't have time, you know, we don't always get time to do something with the family.  And then Katie slips on the basketball court, rolls an ankle, ow, my ankle, owie. There's Tara McLauren. Meanwhile, there's this guy.  Tara McLauren, also going to David and the commanders who gets the Brian Robinson, gets the Tara McLauren, back to back commanders. Got clearly Immaculate, 84, 99, Alec Pierce. Also, I was just annoyed, Joe Pizzle. Jason likes the thunder. Jason, I flipped on the TV, you know, Jason has a league pass, who flipped on the TV, went to the sons game, we're all excited.  During shoot-arounds, come on. Chad with the Colts. I think Gilo Gabe even bought like, like he bought like Bali Sports, you know, just so he could watch that game tonight, nothing. It's clearly Immaculate, Justin Jefferson, 10 out of 49. They should, Rex. Now that he's with the sons, they should, Joe Pizzle, sell those T-shirts, KD and the Sunshine Band, Vikings and Niko. 97 out of 99, Ken Anderson, three-color patch and autograph. We're on Cincinnati, Jay. Now that's true, yeah, the thunder did get crushed by that KD. It could have been crushed even more, that could have been 160 points for the sons. Here's old Ken Anderson, Jay with the Bengals. And 20 out of 25, Signature Moves, Deion Sanders. He's got some Signature Moves. Neon Deion Sanders, Nate with Dallas. Coach Prime, Prime time.

KD twisting an ankle like the old man that he is. Damaged goods. Chris Paul's pretty old too, Jason Jaspy. Wow, shots more like blanks. Those are shots fired now. Wow, I can't wait for the son's thunder playoff matchup. The trash that'll be talked between Jason Jaspy and Joe Pizzle will be pretty legendary. Next box. Yeah, why is he slipping? What did he slip on? Where's the ballboy, Joe Pizzle? You got that new owner, that hedge fund new owner with billions of dollars. They can't hire ballboys, Joe Pizzle? Clean up that court? It's Chris Godwin for the Niners, or for the Buccaneers, that's for Shawn Matic. He was clearly Immaculate. Jameson Williams, hmm, Jameson. 86 out of 99. Now he fell, he slipped, twisted his ankle and fell crumbled to the ground, didn't he? Yeah, ESPN saying KD's scary fall pregame caused him to miss son's thunder matchup. Oh, so his ankle just crumbled underneath him? Oh yeah, he definitely, that's a slip, dude. Do you know, Joe Pizzle, look at that slip. You can see the ankle kind of, whoop, and then his ankle curls underneath him. We got David Montgomery. And as you can see the G on the shoulder there, that's pretty cool, logos, really. Two out of 10 for Dub Bears, that's for Mark Russo. Yeah, Kevin, you know what Kevin Durant looks like, Joe Pizzle? Looks like Bambi. Looks like Bambi on ice. Remember that movie, Disney movie Bambi, where he gets onto the frozen pond for the first time? And he's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Kevin Bambi. 28 out of 99, rookie eye black, silver ink auto. Another CA three for Pittsburgh, that's gonna go to Colin. Yeah, of course everyone's gonna be a hater, Joe Pizzle. Katie just joined a team with Chris Paul, DeAndre Ayton, and Devin Booker. Of course, you're gonna get so many haters. Two out of 49, Nick Chubb, Cleveland, this is for you. Colin with the Cleveland Browns. Nick Chubb, two-color jersey and autograph. And Drake London, two-color patch and auto. 52 out of 99. Nice Drake London for Craig and the Falcons. You act like he joined an already championship team?  How about a one-of-one Buffalo bill? Jonathan's asking, that'd be nice. John, little Buffalo.  You think they would've gotten a chip without Katie? I think they needed the Katie. That's why they got the D, the Katie. We got 54 out of 99, Aaron Rodgers. Chad, what's up? At the end of Durant's career, Hardy Valley's championship moving to Golden State and now the sons, assuming they win this year, I can't really see them losing this year. I mean, listen, the guy's a hall of fame. People would've liked to see him do it with the one team and blah, blah, blah, blah. But I think we just gotta accept that Katie's not that guy. He's not the number one alpha, that wants to be on the same team and just lead them to be the alpha leader, be the Michael Jordan, be the Kobe. Here's Eugene with the Titans, gets the Hassan Haskins. So I think that is what it is.  Denver Broncos, Greg with the Broncos and we've got a out of five Peyton Manning Colts edition, piece of the Nike swoosh, woo. Piece of that swoosh. Who's got the blue horseshoes? Chad Cromwell, got the last spot mojo, got randomized the Colts and gets the Peyton Manning. How about that? All aboard the Big Hit Express, woo-hoo. That's sharp, that is real sharp. All right, we got Tony Gonzalez, eight out of 88 for number 88. Chiefs, it's gonna go to Jeff Henn. And then we got Traylin Burks, 31 out of 99. Three color patch and autograph Eugene and the Tennessee Titans. All right, two boxes to go. Remember, we have another half case, pick your team from a fresh case, load it up on jaskyscasebreaks.com. We have another full case random team loaded up on jaskyscasebreaks.com. We're planning on a few fillers, but if those full spots roll, we can pivot, we can cancel fillers, the usual. I like these cleat cards here, cleat impressions, four out of 22, lights, Camara action, that is for Steve Herrick. Clearly immaculate, cam acres, 12 out of 99. That is for the Rams, that'll be for Michael Losea. 37 out of 49, Stefan Diggs, buffalo. That Relic's gonna go to Jonathan. Got Cam Chancellor, two out of 10. Seahawks, that's gonna go to Ken. Ken with Cam. We got Rookie Eye Black, Sam Howell, 59 out of 99. Coach says, Ron Rivera says that he's their QB one. That's David and the commanders. And is Matt Corral QB one in Carolina, or are they gonna draft a QB? Some nice colors there. Nice autograph, 40 out of 99. Carolina, Brian with the Panthers. And the sixth and final box. Come on Joe Pizzle, he earned it. He earned it. All right, last box, seven out of 10. Tyler Lockett, Seattle, Ken. Right Jason Jaffe, what a mean comment from Joe Pizzle about Ken Grigby, Jr. As if Joe Pizzle has the body of an athlete. There's Karim Hunt, 33 out of 49. Cleveland, this is for you. Colin and the Browns. We got some, this got someone from the past. Marshall Fox, someone from the present. Jonathan Taylor, nice. Nice dual relic for Chad and the Blue Horseshoes. 27 out of 49, Cooper Cup, Rams. I'm gonna go to Michael and the Ramley. We got Anthony Muñoz, 69 out of 78. His jersey number, Cincinnati, that's for Jay. And nice Aiden Hutchinson. Nice jersey, nice autograph, 63 out of 97. He's gonna be really good. He is really good already. Robert with the Lions, sky's the limit. And there you go gang, thanks very much. That was a full case break, random team version of the brand new 2022 Panini Immaculate football. I'm Joe, I'll see you next time for the next break. Bye bye.


Good afternoon Foundation staff, this is Level 4 Research with Theron Sherman, and today's briefing is your favorite kind of time travel shenanigans. We're talking about SCP-711, Object Class, SAFE, Special Containment Procedures. Under no circumstances whatsoever is SCP-711 to be operated. Operation or attempted operation of SCP-711 is to be punished in all cases by the severest and most extreme measures available to the SCP Foundation. Enforcement of this zero-tolerance policy, should it become necessary, is to become the single highest priority assignment for all available Foundation personnel. The current instance of SCP-711 is to be embedded in concrete, and stored in a type 2 high-value item vault at storage site **** secured by at least 4 multiply redundant locking systems and guarded by all Foundation agents of no less than level 2 security clearance. The item should never be stored in operable condition. In any major crisis during which the survival of the SCP Foundation, or of any significant portion of human civilization, greater than 20%, is called into question, the item supervises how to destroy it immediately, and determine a safe time and place for its reassembly. No person capable of operating SCP-711 is permitted to have any knowledge of the contents of string 17, see below. Description, built by the SCP Foundation from Bland's Retrieve, SCP-711 is a device assembled from several highly modified, high-energy physics equipment. Its primary function is, in short, capable of sending data into its past and of receiving data from its future. Transmission is strictly one way. When an operation of the item is therefore causally impossible, any message it receives will necessarily be sent at some point in its future. All SCP-711 messages predetermine their own existence and content. To date, exactly 17 messages have been received via SCP-711. The first string was received at 1300 hours on ****, the day the item was created, and sent 4 minutes later. It consisted only of the character's TEST. With successive operations, signal quality is declined dramatically. String 1 was transmitted perfectly, reading precisely TEST, both when sent and when received. String 16, when sent, also precisely read TEST. When received, it consisted of the characters T, dollar sign, 3, S, carrot, F, at symbol, followed by 5 kilobytes of meaningless noise. Additionally, over the course of testing, 4 strings were received which were never sent, and which consist demonstrably P less than 0.0001 of nothing but noise. String 17 was detected 10 years after the object's construction. It consists of 347 characters, either heavily encrypted or within the first 50 characters however, is sufficient data to establish that ****, P ****, that it will be sent by a dolly-authorized agent of the SCP Foundation. Its date of origin is unknown. To date, it has not yet been sent. Since String 17 will necessarily been sent, and since it is known to be sent by an agent of the Foundation, the survival of the SCP Foundation and of humanity in general is guaranteed at least until such time as String 17 is transmitted. Transmission to String 17 must therefore be postponed at all costs. The above containment procedures are calculated to ensure that it will not be sent until such a time as the SCP Foundation is too weak to enforce them, in which case the Foundation will have already de facto ceased to exist. Note, SCP 711 is an insurance policy of sorts. Until we send String 17, we know we have to survive any crisis, otherwise that String is a BL-class predestination paradox. Once it's sent, we no longer have that guarantee. Yes, we'll have to fail at some point. We did receive String 17 after all. But the longer we postpone it, the longer we know we can survive. Stop that signal people. A continued existence may just depend on it. Dr. P*****. Woo! Alright, well at least we're safe for now. For later? For then? For when? Ah! Alright staff, that ends our broadcast. Use the Foundation's encrypted YouTube account to like, comment, subscribe, hit the bell and support our broadcast at Patreon.com to site 42.


It's been a challenging year. We've had to adapt the way we learn, socialize and de-stress. Mental health is so important, now more than ever. That's why the College of Engineering is conducting this semester's Wellness Survey. The results of this survey will inform future work and lead to new programs and policies to support engineering students. This is your chance to make an impact and spark a lasting change in the College of Engineering. Purdue is a culture of persistence that fosters growth. Our students' well-being is an important piece of that. Purdue Engineering is committed to investing in our students and supporting all dimensions of well-being. This survey is the first step to accomplishing the work we hope to do to improve wellness of every Purdue engineer. The purpose of the survey is not merely assessment, but it really is the first step in making meaningful evidence-based change. You have an important voice and perspective that we believe will help promote the well-being for all. Whether you're on campus or online this semester, we can foster the culture of wellness. We can build the College of Well-Being we strive for. Take the survey. Make your mark. Make your mark. Make your mark. Take the survey. All it takes is one small step.


And I really want to send a message of solidarity to Sudanese youth because Sudanese youth are also African youth and African youth are also human beings and their lives matter and I know in this part of the words you know conversations, media, get attention to Africa of war, the Africa of disease, the Africa of hunger but now the Africa where young people have been leading change for the past decade and no one is talking about it. So if we want to talk about the power of now, the power of now is in Africa and is where women and young Sudanese women have led a peaceful revolution but they were excluded from the negotiation table and they have been raped now as we speak. So what is happening in Sudan right now is a massacre and is unacceptable and the violence must stop. The African Union condemned what's going on and as the youth in why I stand with the Sudanese youth who are an aren't and who deserve democratic transition, who deserve accountability and who deserve justice. So no to militarization, no to militarization and yes to civilian-led governments in Africa and also enough with democratic transitions where women and youth are not on the table.


Imagine exploring the terrible, terrifying, horrifying landscapes of the back rooms for 183 levels and then you make it to level 184 and you're finally able to find peace. Well, you don't have to imagine anymore because that's what this video is about. Level 184. Let's get into it, shall we? Also, if you want to see a more personal side of me, go check out my vlog channel. It'll be the top link in the description below. Thank you. The level starts with a quote that reads as follows. Been walking around this countryside level some more, gets me thinking, seeing all these abandoned things. Do you ever wonder how entities see us? Like, the entities we don't talk to? I wonder if they wonder where we came from. End quote. Nice. So yeah, level 184 is classified as a class 1 difficulty and is safe, devoid of entities, but it isn't fully secured because we don't know where the borders are. It's close enough to being safe. Okay. The level also goes by the name the Field of Forgotten Forts and it's a very liminal and picturesque expanse of countryside with a ton of abandoned structures. The level is calm and pleasant and it's very scenic and relaxing and there's also a lot of natural resources and fertile ground for growing plants as well. The level is considered to be eerily peaceful though by most wanderers who have been here and it gives this feeling of nostalgia but uneasiness at the same time, sort of like level 94 does. The fields of this level grow flowers and plants just like the ones from the front rooms and they grow and reproduce and decay just like the real life ones as well, which makes this place seem even more real than other levels. To make it easy to understand the layout of the level, it's been split up into three distinct parts. The grain fields, the canola fields and then the unkempt plains. The grain fields are huge expanses of wheat and barley and even rice plants in some regards. You can harvest and eat anything that grows here and it's completely safe to do so.  Most of these old sheds and houses give off really eerie and strange familiar feelings of a past life. Almost like you can feel the beans and things that used to live here but you can't see them. The canola fields look very similar to the wheat ones except this area is full of vibrant and bright canola plants. Inside of this area there are bigger abandoned farms and old decaying farmhouses and barns as well. These old farmhouses are usually barren of anything on the inside but some have old remnants of furniture and paintings and kitchen utensils and kitchen tables and beds and that sort of thing. Again you kind of get the feeling of these old energies in this forgotten life when you explore these houses. You feel like you're being watched by the residents of the houses but you can't see anybody because there's no one there. Past these canola fields there are the unkempt plains which are these big uncultivated unused plots of land with no crops or buildings. These places have tall grasses and soft rolling hills and the only structures you might find here are old fences and stone walls and maybe an old rusty car or two that have been left to decay. And these places are very empty and desolate and lonely and you could theoretically live here if you want but it's kind of far out and there's not really anything else to speak of. Since this level is pretty safe and natural of course there's been a few bases that have been set up here and there are two main ones that Meg has made and they are here to harvest the grain and the canola plants. Like I said both of them are run by Meg but theoretically you could live in a rural abandoned house yourself if you wanted to or you could just wander around the fields and relax in them for as long as you need to. Cutting through this level there are random dirt paths and random little brooks and streams that roll through the fields and these areas help you with exploring the level and finding new places. As I said no one has found the border of the level yet so it's thought that it could be infinite so just explore at your own risk. The ambience of the level is a calm sound of wind blowing through grass and the faint sound of bugs chirping and a light breeze blowing at all times. The sounds give off senses of calmness and peacefulness that isn't often felt through the back rooms but at the same time it makes you wonder what happened to the people that used to be here. Why did they leave and abandon their houses and homesteads and what made them leave? Let me know what you think in the comments below. I'm pretty interested to hear what you gotta say. To enter the level you can walk deep into another level that resembles it so another level that has feels like level 10 or level 811 and if you wander off deep into those levels you might find that it'll start to transition into this level. And to exit you can find a rough dirt road and walk down it until you find a sign that directs you to level 11, follow that sign and you'll be sent back to level 11. Or sometimes you can even no clip into one of the many structures that is abandoned here. But overall this peaceful abandoned expanse of fields and hills sounds like a paradise if you make it here alive that is. But I love the vibe that you get from this level. You kind of get that uneasy uncanniness like something used to live here and there used to be like a civilization here but it's post apocalyptic and abandoned. But even though there's nobody here the stuff still grows and you can still live here for yourself. So the weather on this level is mostly pretty mild. There could be some rolling clouds and maybe a few spring showers that pop up out of nowhere. But overall the entire place is devoid of much harmful weather. Like I said earlier though there is a pretty decent breeze that blows most times and this breeze adds to the ambience of lowliness in the fields. But from people who have been to this level they describe it as very liminal and empty and almost sad in a way. And some people even say that they feel like they have been there before and it's like they're coming back after their home was destroyed or something. But overall the back room just does that to some people and they get those weird feelings from it. Alright so this is the announcement. If you didn't know what I'm doing for a million subscribers I am telling you right now. I've announced it a couple times on like the last few videos but I'm going to be flying to the original location of the back rooms of a 1-8-8 hotel which is in England.  I'm going to be exploring the area and we're going to be most importantly going to that courtyard area. The most famous part of that entire hotel and it's the location of the original picture from that level. So it's going to be really fun and we're projected to hit a million subscribers sometime this summer. If you want to help me get there faster tell your friends and family, you know, tell everybody you know about me. That way we can hit it and that way we can fly to England and vlog this entire trip. It's going to be fun. I hope you're ready for that. I'm pretty excited to go over this. So until then I would be continuing the normal uploads and shorts and I'm just going to be continuing to do what I do best and make these videos for you all. Hope you continue to enjoy them and share them. Thank you all so much and I'll see you in the next video. Peace.


Blink blink blink blink blink blink a blink a time blink a time It's time for blinka. There's so much going on in circuit Python this week There's too much going on in the world of Python hardware. I don't even do much There is so much yeah, so I'm gonna get to this Gartner thing in a bit. Yeah, but please do check out The latest newsletter go to a to fruit daily calm. We don't spam We don't do anything like that. It's a completely separate site and you'll be able to check out all the different things so there's New boards including the micromod. I believe is in there For the RP 20 for our feet. Oh, we do. Yeah, we've done a whole bunch of updates Yeah, I had like six different boards. Let's corrections on boards. Yes, please. I choose two boards every 24 hours board Board LED to most boards and a timing fix. So check that out Also worth noting is the Arduino Nano RP 20 40 connect now support circuit Python. Thanks to Liz Um, if you want to look at where Python is now in addition to the Regular old Python on hardware news. We have kind of bigger picture Python. Well, I mean, it's it's So check that out Python is swapping positions with Java for now the second most popular language. It's kind of cool So if you're thinking about what programming language to use look at some of the trends Later on I'll have more information about our TI interview that I think we're gonna be able to do TI is using a fork of circuit Python and I got ahold of them and they're gonna send the questions I sent over and I'm gonna ask. Okay. Why did you choose Python in general by the way? But also, you know, why do you have this cool fork of it circuit Python? You're putting on your calculators A little bit of recap from the deep dive with Scott the circuit Python parsec with JP some of the guides and more that we've had here and then tons and tons and tons and tons of USB related stuff Circuit Python people are they're really getting to either so much good example colors. Yeah So do check it out. It's at the point where there's so much news that I now pick one important thing Okay, her newsletter to go. That's too much because there's right. There's too much there. Yeah, and that's a good sign It's it's almost okay. So what's the thing? Okay? So the thing this week is so gardener has always been a big deal if something's in the gardener report like it's like Okay, this is a this is this is it and this is their hype cycle for embedded software systems 2020 now this is just came out not too long ago And if you go to the Arduino site because I got through the newsletter you just sign up you put your Information in and then they give you access to the report There's a couple pieces that I thought was really neat. So previously Python on hardware wasn't really there. In fact, it was in a different location. So they given terms in here So the trough of disillusionment Is where Arduino IOT edge architecture one M2M and then you could see where the slope of enlightenment is and that's She's getting used by people. It's not only people who can use it are using it So not only is it getting used but if you if you read the little summary that's in the newsletter and also on our site Using Python Is like on the slope we've been using sensor fusion for 20 years. It's in everything folks Yeah, so the the interesting thing micro python circuit Python Python and we're we're named in this report is It's so fast to do development That you now see it in this area of like if you want to do bluetooth low-cost development do Prototyping really fast. It's now taking off faster than some of the previous solutions Even like Arduino, which is also a very fast way to prototype and more. Yeah, so it's one to watch and when like It's cool that it's even in this. I mean like people are paying attention to it Yeah, it's like what's you know on Twitter you see people snark on each other like oh the normies know about this now You know, it's like when someone says oh, they're you know, I like that band before everyone liked them Well, this is kind of like that So as soon as it starts getting these syndicate research reports that means it really really really is getting an industry a lot That's what we're seeing but it's nice to see this report So check it out links to all that and more in the Python hardware newsletter sweet. Thank you Blinka. I Leave the newsletter top to bottom every week it comes out


All right, Gage, you need to be weaning over this shoulder. He is his support. More holes. Swag! We need more! Two times where she needs to pull.
