# About the real situation of safe cracking In movies, we often see scenes where characters quickly open safes by listening to sounds or using special tools, but in reality, cracking safes is much more complicated. ## Method in real life： 1. **Unlocking technology (lock picking)**: Professional locksmiths may use special tools to operate the components of mechanical locks, but this requires many years of training and professional knowledge. 2. **Electronic analysis**: For electronic safes, it may involve analyzing circuits or using special equipment to detect traces of button pressure. 3. **Violent methods**: Cutting, drilling, or using heavy tools, but these methods can damage the safe and are very obvious. 4. **Social engineering**: Obtaining information about passwords or keys is more through human factors than technical means. It should be clear that it is illegal to try to open another person's safe without legal authority. Legally opening a safe usually requires the owner to present proof of ownership and contact the manufacturer or a professional locksmith. Rapid cracking in movies is usually a theatrical effect, and the security mechanism of high-quality safes in reality is much more complicated.
