This article is fully devoted to the issue of ATM security.
You will be able to find out how the ATM works, what it looks like from the inside and how to get unauthorized access to cash cassettes. You can consider this article as an instruction to rob an ATM, a guide to action, you can not, but the author does not call anyone to illegal actions. The author completely disclaims responsibility for your actions and for your further destiny. By reading further, you agree with this. Think with your own head and do not rely on someone else's. Happy reading.
This is the age of information technology. More and more financial transactions are carried out by bank transfer. But be that as it may, for a very, very long time, cash will be present in our lives. About 90% of financial transactions today are done with cash. The number of banknotes in the world is growing day by day. However, more and more ATMs are popping up all over the world. People are given a salary not in cash, but by transfer to a card. And since not all cards are accepted for payment, people are forced to use ATMs. Banks, in turn, seek to provide such an opportunity for cardholders as to withdraw funds wherever they are needed by the bank's client. Since banks have a lot of customers, there are a lot of ATMs, and enough money is loaded into them to be enough for at least a day or two. And an ATM is a box of money thrown in the street. A box with big money. If we speak in numbers and in rubles, then this is several million rubles. Several million in a couple of minutes of work on an ATM. Not bad, huh?
Any ATM can be opened in a couple of minutes.
If you look at the media, you will notice that the opening of the ATM turns into a kind of * boom * and is being performed almost every week. The criminals of society caught this topic and realized that the jackpot was big, and the ATM had no security. We'll talk about security below.
So, first of all, we note that there is an ATM in general. This is a safe that contains cassettes with banknotes. Above the safe is not complex electronics in the form of an ordinary computer. The whole is sheathed in a simple soft shell, often of plastic / soft metal. Also above the safe there is a card reader, a receipt printer and other delights that we are not interested in in this article.
Particularly ardent criminals can stop reading the article at this point, go to break off the top roof of the ATM, pull out the motherboard or other electronic element and sell it for a penny on the black market. For those who are interested in the contents of the safe, read on.
Safe. It contains cassettes with money (usually 4 cassettes with up to 2,000 notes each) and a dispenser that takes money from the cassettes and gives it to the card holder through a special small window. [+] Cassette with money.
The smartest way to remove tapes is through the door. The safe itself has two doors. The main one with a key and a combination lock and a false door made of plastic or thin metal, which can be broken off with bare hands or with a small crowbar. By the way, they often put an alarm to open the false door.
Let's move on to the issue of opening the main door of the safe compartment. In fact, there is a wagon and a small cart. One has only to turn on the fantasy. I will describe to you only the main ones and dwell on one of the most effective (gas explosion) and give it in the most detailed way. The first thing to understand is that banks do not sit idly by and implement security and alarm systems. But at the same time, one should not think that ATM is so unapproachable.
Method one. Steal a banknote.
So, steal the ATM. This action is very often practiced around the world. There is nothing complicated. We take a car on which you can load an ATM. We take a strong car cable. We are coming. We put a loop of the cable on the ATM, we knit the other end to the car. Pedal to the floor, the ATM pulls it out of the mount. By the way, it is important to know that the ATM is fixed to the floor with anchor bolts. What it is, look at Google to know. However, this is not a hindrance for this method. This is if you decide to pull out the iron machine with your hands. And yes, the ATM weighs about 600-800kg, depending on the brand, model and type of safe. So figure out as soon as you will load it into the car when you tear it off and drop it on its side. The moment the ATM just tilts, the alarm will go off at the security company. You will have 3 minutes before the arrival of the PSC. Better count on 2 minutes. It's safer this way. Among other things, the ATM is often equipped with a tracking sensor and will send a signal about its location. Therefore, you should buy a signal jammer so as not to meet guests somewhere in the garage when you open the safe. This method exhausts itself. Personally, I don't really like it for many reasons. First, the car must be found somewhere. Secondly, the car will be exposed. Third, the ATM must somehow be loaded onto the car. Fourth, ATM will still have to be opened.
Fifth, the ATM will have to be dropped somewhere. Sixth, it's all very noisy. And in general, a bunch of nuances. But the method takes place, and more than once this method ended in success for thieves.
Method two. Tear off the safe cover with a car.
Success: https://youtu.be/NsjLrJf9Cc0, https://youtu.be/3UN9m8j1nqo
Failure: https://youtu.be/Y50CFHe2ZWI
A chic option in my opinion. Perhaps the fastest and quietest of the presented. The bottom line is that the offender breaks out the cover of the issuing window, inserts a hook with a cable there. The other end of the cable is attached to the vehicle. Pedal to the floor. Since the ATM is attached to the floor with anchors, it remains in place, and the bolts and hinges are deformed and the safe cover comes off. Full access to the contents of the safe in a couple of tens of seconds. Not bad. This method works only on ATMs, the window for issuing banknotes is built into the lid of the safe, and not into the upper part. On alarm, also count on 2 minutes before the arrival of the private security company. Otherwise, there is nothing to add, everything is clear.
Method three. Using liquid nitrogen.
Perhaps it looks fantastic. Perhaps so. I haven't seen real cases, but maybe something will come of it. In films, this is, of course, nonsense, as in the afterburner from a spray can freeze the lock and break the metal with one blow. In life, everything is somewhat different. There is a crazy idea to sheathe the safe with a sealed box, pour liquid nitrogen into it and wait 30 minutes for the safe to cool down to at least -150 - -170 degrees. Then try to break it. Fantastic, of course, but what the hell is not kidding. Maybe someone will get it like that. But make the allowance that nitrogen will evaporate and you will have to constantly add it, not to mention the fact that you will need a large amount of it. Plus the alarm question. Many ATMs have temperature sensors that will work as soon as the temperature drops. This is all that I can give you regarding this method of breaking the safe shell.
Method four. Flame cutting.
https://youtu.be/P7K2IOTbNv8
A very good way, but there are some important nuances. What it looks like. We take an oxygen cylinder, a propane cylinder (acetylene can be used), reducers, hoses (hoses) and a cutter. We arrive at the place. Cut out the place where the door bolt rests. We open the door. Profit. But what awaits us and what is the disappointment? First, the same thermal sensor. As soon as you start heating the safe, the alarm will go off and you will have a couple of minutes to get your hands on your feet and run away. Secondly, if the type of safe did not play a special role in the previous methods, then in this method it is very important. Only the UL291 safe can be opened in this way. It is made of 12mm high alloy steel. If you cut it correctly, it takes about 6-7 minutes. A lot of. You can go to work only if you are sure that there are no thermal sensors.
And, as an example, the CEN IV safe is made like a cake from a layer of steel, concrete and another layer of steel. It is clear that cutting concrete with gas makes no sense. And the whole problem is that it is unrealistic to determine the type of safe by eye. Two identical ATMs will be like two drops of water, but differ only in their internal design and weight.
Speaking of alarms. They are quite expensive and are not installed on all devices. They are rarely placed on ATMs in stores, because, as a rule, the store itself is on an alarm and this, according to the bank, should be enough. If you now look at the media on the topic of ATM opening, you can see how the guys bypass the room alarm and freely have fun with the ATM, which is not equipped with an alarm. So the throttle method is the most suitable for such cash machines. In general, it is cheaper to insure an ATM with money than to install an alarm.
Method five. Plasma cutting.
Essentially similar to cutting with gas, but cutting with plasma. The equipment is more expensive, but the cutting speed is also higher. There is nothing to add. Find plasma cutting on the Internet and read it yourself. How and where to cut is described in the previous method.
Method six. Hammering the bolt.
Nice method. Even more. The bottom line is that a hole is drilled in the place where the bolt stops, for example with a drill, a strong pin is inserted and hammered with strong blows. As a result, the soft locking mechanism crumples and the bolt goes inside, and we open the safe door and run away with the cassettes.
But there are a lot of nuances. Firstly, banks specifically reinforce the crossbars so that they cannot simply be hammered in. Secondly, you need to know the exact place where to make the hole. Thirdly, if there is a vibration alarm, then when drilling a hole in the case, it will work and you will have 2 minutes you know what.
Method seven. Blow up the ATM with explosives.
Success: https://youtu.be/0SuNGGNpKEA
If you overdo it, it will be: https://youtu.be/drOF1544w28
Blow up explosives... Uh. How loud it is! This is not only said loudly, but it will also be done loudly. The method requires special knowledge in the field of pyrotechnics, otherwise you will blow yourself up. We need explosives. Where can I get it? In principle, there is nothing complicated. An explosive (Explosive) with a high blasting capacity (destructible) should be selected. As an example, HMTD, EDGN. It is quite possible to make at home and the power will be no less than TNT. But I want to emphasize and even ask you, if you do not know what and how to explode, it is better to leave this method. It is dangerous not only for your freedom for another ten years, but also for your health and for the health of many people around you, because you can thoughtlessly turn not only an ATM, but also a whole house with people into ruins. It's not worth it. And the term for this act will be much higher than for a simple theft of a couple of million. If you really want to gut the ATM and make broads, then look towards the eighth method.
Method eight. ATM explosion with gas.
https://youtu.be/XXlLZm_nvJo
https://youtu.be/2ITvEZInzCY
https://youtu.be/VhQFwyg_QVw
So we got to the most interesting thing. I will describe this method in as much detail as possible, because, in my humble opinion, this is the most promising method, the simplest, cheapest and relatively (!) Safe.
The bottom line is: we pump gas and oxygen into the safe. Detonate. Because a safe is essentially a closed room, then a huge amount of the generated gases have nowhere to go and they simply squeeze out the weakest point - the door. If you correctly select the amount of gas, there will be a small dull bang and the safe door will open. At the same time, since the explosion is instantaneous, it does not heat the cassettes with money, and also does not create any destruction, except for the broken door. Cold money remains in place to wait until you pick it up.
It should be noted that not only gas is needed, but oxygen too. The explosion will be much more effective. The flammability limit of propane in air is from 2.3% to 9.5%. In oxygen from 2.2% to 55.0%. I hope you understand what's what.
So, we need: an oxygen cylinder, a propane cylinder, reducers for cylinders, sleeves for propane and oxygen, 20 meters of wire, a 12 volt battery (crown), matches. All this can be purchased for 4-5kr. I advise you to take small cylinders that are easy to carry. There are gas welding stations with one liter cylinders. This is ideal.
How to make an electric igniter is a lot of information on the Internet. It can be from a small light bulb, or from a nichrome thread.
[+] Small manual
I don't like the version with the light bulb because of its fragility. Glass no matter how. Any blow and the bulb breaks.
A budget-friendly, efficient and reliable way. Take an iron washcloth. Tear off a thread of a few centimeters from it. Throw over the match head and tie the matches to the trunk with threads. Further antennae cling to the wires. Now, when you apply tension, the iron thread from the sponge will heat up and the match will ignite. Heating takes place in less than a second. It has been tested on experience more than once. Try it yourself.
You can build many fuses, you just need imagination. Smokeless powder can be used instead of matches. It is easy to get it from the mounting chucks, which are freely available in hardware stores. The top of the cartridge is easily expanded even with a nail. Then we shake out the powder.
Move on. Where and how to pump gas from an ATM. In fact, there are two options: through the dispenser window or through the technological hole in the safe case. Through the dispenser window, in my eyes it is better, but it needs to be broken out in order to put something in it. Although this is not difficult. The window is made of plastic or aluminum and is not so difficult to break. It is more difficult with a technological hole, since much depends on the design of a particular ATM. You can do it easier and buy a card on the Internet in someone else's name, withdraw money from it and at the moment when the window opens, PayPal a hose there.
I advise you to fill the hole as well, although this is far from necessary.
How it all looks in practice:
We put the cylinders in the backpack. There are hoses and a wire with a fuse. We take a large bag for cassettes (Dimensions of a cash-in-transit bag for 5 cassettes 800x260x450 mm). We arrive at the place. Using strong screwdrivers, a chisel or a crowbar, lift / break the bill dispensing window. There we insert the sleeves with oxygen and propane about 60-70cm inside. It is advisable to put a mixer at the end. If not, at least route the hoses so that the oxygen and propane intersect and mix. We open both valves for 20 seconds. 25 is the maximum. No more! Otherwise, your ATM will fly away several meters, and the cassettes may fly in different directions. We take out the sleeves. We lower the fuse. Backpack behind the back, rewind 20 meters of wire and go around the corner. We close the key. The fuse ignites causing the propane to detonate. The safe door is squeezed out. We run up, unfasten the cassettes, put them in a bag and leave. Yes, yes, we unfasten the cassettes, and not mindlessly drag the entire heavy unnecessary dispenser with us.
How to unfasten the cassettes:
We lift the green lever up and take out the cassette towards ourselves. Nothing complicated.
Two minutes is enough for everything. Not a single alarm will help and not a single guard will have time to arrive. Now about the cons, of which there are few. Firstly, it is very rare, but there may be an alarm to open the curtain from outside. Therefore, first you should pick it up, move away and wait 15 minutes if anyone will come. If everything is clear, then go ahead. Second, again rarely, but a combustible gas detector may be encountered:
https://youtu.be/EfzEqi0XOBk, https://youtu.be/QQxm29_gnGc
By the way, watch the educational video how the door opens from the explosion.
In principle, all this is not critical, since the whole operation takes two minutes and we can always escape. I advise you to focus on exactly two minutes and if something went wrong, it is better to leave and stay free than to risk it.
Propane or acetylene and what is the difference.
I saw someone say that nothing will work with propane and only acetylene is needed. That's bullshit. Propane, like acetylene, is a combustible gas and explodes very well in oxygen. Yes, the speed of the explosion of acetylene is higher and the explosion will be more powerful, but propane is enough to open the safe above the roof. Considering that a cylinder for acetylene weighs under 20 kg, and for propane 3 kg, then the choice is obvious.
To convince you, watch the video of the propane explosion:

ATM opening instruction (part 2)
Good afternoon, dear readers. This is the second article on the topic of unauthorized opening of an ATM in order to gain access to cash cassettes.
In the first article I covered eight methods of dissection, but as I said, there are many more. In the second article you will learn a few more methods, as well as you can learn a lot more interesting things about this sphere of crimes. It is worth emphasizing that I, as an author, disclaim all responsibility for your further actions and your destiny. Reading on, you automatically agree with this. Happy reading.
General information about what an ATM is and how it works is described in the first article, so I will not repeat myself. If you have not read it, then start with it. Let's continue with the methods. There are five more. No, in fact there are many more of them, but I will give you five more methods to the eight that you know.
Method nine. Circular chainsaw.
Success: https://youtu.be/FvhGogNscFU
Perhaps this method should have been described in the first article, because it is very popular, but I somehow missed it. In fact, everything is simple. You are buying a chainsaw with metal cutting discs. It is worth turning your gaze on more powerful saws. For this is the speed of your work, and therefore your safety. I want to say that you should never spare money for training. By saving a couple of thousand, you get additional security risks. This is useless, for freedom is above all. Take your time and think. Surely the question arises, and where to cut. We cut in the same way as for flame cutting. The picture is in the first article. We cut out the place where the bolt of the door rests so that the door has nothing to cling to. In time, you can cut it in 4-5 minutes. Of course, this is a bit too much. And there is another significant drawback, this is noise. Imagine the noise of cutting steel with a circular saw in the silence of the night. However, there are people who are not embarrassed by this and their business often ends in success. But I advise you to understand that if the vibration alarm goes off, then you have three minutes to make your legs from there. And I want to note that you should not confuse a circular chainsaw with a grinder. These are tools of different classes. You will be cutting something with a grinder for a week, and it is far from being a fact that it is successful. Personally, my opinion on the method is unsatisfactory and I would have chosen another, due to the great noise, as well as the time for autopsy by the time before the arrival of the private security company. Risk.
Method ten. Take away the ATM.
Yes, it sounds silly, but just attach the legs to the terminal. Just put it on the cart and take it away. How and why is this possible? It is not uncommon for many room owners to prohibit drilling the floor for attaching ATM. Then the bank does something stupid, in my opinion, and makes it unsecured. Formally, it just stands under its own weight and is held by several wires that are powered. A funny protection for a safe with millions inside. Such thefts and robberies are quite successful because they take a minute. I drove up with a cart, picked up an ATM, drove to the car, loaded it and drove off. It couldn't be easier. Of the minuses, it can be noted that, firstly, you will have to open the safe anyway, secondly, the car must be turned on, and thirdly, the ATM must then be thrown off, destroyed evidence. But this is all nonsense, if you approach the matter with your head. But I would prefer other more efficient methods to this method. Although the choice is only yours.
Method eleven. Wedge.
It should be noted right away that we are talking about both a simple wedge driven in by a sledgehammer and hydroclines. With a simple wedge, everything is just rustic. I need a partner. You take a wedge, a sledgehammer. One holds the wedge at the slot of the safe door, the second hits the wedge and drives it into the slot. The method is dubious in my opinion, but there were real attempts, only I have not seen successful ones. The hydrocline is another matter. Everything is more interesting here. I am talking about hand hydroclines. They are intended for opening doors and widening gaps. Exactly what we need. Such a piece weighs from 10 kg. The price is reasonable. In general, this is a very interesting method. I am convinced that many ATMs were opened with such devices, but the media do not write this. Usually they say that it is not an established method, that without noise and dust, that they simply squeezed out. I suppose they squeezed out that way, although this is just my guess and nothing more. I think it is not necessary to explain in detail, it will be enough to read the instructions for the equipment.
Method twelve. Explosion in the water.
To begin with, I note that I have not seen the implementation of this method, but in theory it has the right to exist. The bottom line is that we fill the safe with water to the top. After that, we drop a small dose of explosives. Gram 15-20 GMTD above the roof. Detonate. Because water is an incompressible liquid, the power of the explosion on the wall of the safe will be the same as in the epicenter. Thanks to water, even a small amount of charge will easily rip out the door and throw it off very well. The advantage of this method is that it practically does not require financial investments. Water costs nothing. Such explosives can be made at home for a penny (google acetone Triperoxide or HMTD, EGDN). The only difficulty is getting so much water to the safe. But the principle is quite realistic. And yes, do not forget to coat the cracks in the safe with sealant, otherwise the water will pour out. Well, and one more minus that water gets into the cassettes and the money gets wet. Although this is really a hindrance to us? In general, water will close all electronics. By and large, these are just my thoughts, and you think with your own head. But the way is real. And yes, it should be implemented only on ATMs, in which the dispenser window is located above the safe, and not in its door, otherwise it is not convenient to pour water.
Method thirteenth. Cryogenic cutting.
It is impossible to think of anything better than this method, but, unfortunately, it is practically not available to us and will be very expensive financially. Cryogenic cutting is a supersonic jet of liquid nitrogen emitted at very high pressure. She can handle any materials, incl. metals, even very thick. The bottom line is that liquid nitrogen cools the material to very low temperatures, in our case steel, and under huge pressure this area crumbles at the micro level. As a result, the material is cut. It is based on the specificity of liquid nitrogen, when any material, very strongly cooled, becomes incredibly brittle. Even a living frog was frozen, thrown on the floor, and it shattered into smithereens. You see, yes, what is it about? Such a cutter will become a paradise for any thief, for no safe can stand, neither first class, nor third, nor fifth. A very low temperature gives the microparticles fragility, and a huge pressure, up to 4 tons per square centimeter, squeezes out the material. Perfect. But alas, these things are very expensive technologies and they are not freely available. To this day, only a few of the expensive installations from $ 500,000 are used in American astronautics. Google it, read it if you're interested. Maybe someone has money and will assemble a similar unit at home. Only what size will it be and will it be convenient to transport it to the ATM? This method is perhaps still only fantastic and written for the general development of the reader.
13 methods you know. I think everyone can find something closer to themselves. I still think the eighth method is the best - gas explosion. It is instant. It takes a moment. The whole operation takes place in two minutes. It is completely safe and very effective. In the near future, they will increasingly begin to put gas sensors in the safe and the method will come to naught. So far, everything is very favorable for the work of thieves. And a few more words about working with an ATM and the crimes themselves. You don't need to rush in with weapons, you don't need to threaten people, you don't need to leave witnesses. It's simple. Here is a box of money. You have 2 minutes. If you open it, you take it away. Nobody limits the preparation time. What is not lovely?
I would like to stress again that I am not in any way encouraging readers to commit crimes. All information is given for general development and nothing more.
On the question of "smart" people about paint in cassettes. She is not there. Used in the 2000s. It is expensive and unwise for a bank to use such funds today. Cartridges with paint are used only in the bags of collectors when transporting a large amount of money.
Perhaps this is all that I can share with you today. And you don't need to know more. The information above is enough to take possession of the funds of any ATM in two minutes.
A blown up ATM pleases the eye:
I will add a little from myself. Namely, according to the 3rd method. Such a volume of liquid nitrogen in an enclosed space will only lead to a quick death of the robber. Because nitrogen evaporates very quickly and its vapors at high concentrations are deadly poisonous.
Now about the practical use of the same nitrogen in industry. Perhaps for some it will be useful. It is in the direction that interests us. Well, or almost in this direction.
A relative worked at an enterprise connected with the railway with the repair of wagons, etc. In these carriages (trains, electric trains, etc.) there are huge bolts, the diameter I can not accurately indicate, since at that time I did not go into it much. On these bolts, a nut that a priori does not untwist (that is, it was tightened once in production with special equipment and that's it). These bolts are removed at a special post, the post is a special workplace. It consists of a barrel of liquid nitrogen, a ladle and a healthy sledgehammer. In this position, the worker simply pours liquid nitrogen onto the nut with a ladle. The nut turns white. He takes a sledgehammer and knocks down a nut - that is, mechanically simply breaks the bolt.
I don't promise anything. I haven't tried it myself, but technically you can also try to do it with loops on the ATM.
So the whole problem lies in where to find this very barrel with nitrogen and a ladle to water the necessary "loops". What is offered in shops is about nothing. In fact, you need some kind of container that will contain nitrogen and (most importantly) a mechanism, that is, a crane that will supply gas. According to this scheme, I saw the outcome of the kids' work on the M4 highway. Unloading truckers on spare wheels. After their "work" the bolts seemed to be chipped off. So there is some kind of nitrogen supply mechanism for the desired item. He who seeks will find.
Gentlemen, I'll tell you not by hearsay - all these methods are absolutely the wrong coat. Well, perhaps the method with gas, but it's VERY loud and without knowing the proportions of gas, you can be left without profit. In my opinion, the most relevant method (if you are not a professional bugbear, what exactly opens and does not break safes. These are good old assemblies and screwdrivers. All you need to know is the design of the safe and it is not difficult since there are quite detailed drawings and a lot of photos on the network - more just breaking the geometry of the box, we squeeze out the door) I will even say that I have met such boxes (though they haven’t been released for a long time that when you unscrew the loops for him and turn the door over to the side, the door almost falls out, but in modern ones I’ll tell you you just need to press a couple of times in the right place so that this door falls out in case of lying on a barrel) the door is not light that concrete has metal that just metal has from 100 to 120 kg on average (well, perhaps, in general, for weak 60 kg, but this is thin metal and they are rarely put on in the foyer of the bank and the bank, you are unlikely to do it right away.
I will tell you that with proper training, 75 seconds is enough to physically break this casket and leave with the money, but the problem is not to open it (opening it is just not a problem), but in the fact that in our time to find an atm or a room in which it is located without signaling it is practically impossible, but due to the frequent cases of kroshilov in relation to these atm in chops, special routes and response groups work for banks, so question # 1 is bypassing the signaling.
And it is divided into two points a) the physical elimination of the alarm and somewhere the work on social engineering (this happens most often) and point b) this is the work of an electrician and a coder, which is generally rare. So, as noted above, the ability to run quickly is our everything.
You should not put transport close to work - it is by transport that they will come to you - at least 3-5 km from work, and preferably 3-5. I can already see how the "experts" are outraged - read above, the ability to run is our everything, it is better to run the extra 5 km and then calmly leave than play GTA in reality.
You will be able to find out how the ATM works, what it looks like from the inside and how to get unauthorized access to cash cassettes. You can consider this article as an instruction to rob an ATM, a guide to action, you can not, but the author does not call anyone to illegal actions. The author completely disclaims responsibility for your actions and for your further destiny. By reading further, you agree with this. Think with your own head and do not rely on someone else's. Happy reading.
This is the age of information technology. More and more financial transactions are carried out by bank transfer. But be that as it may, for a very, very long time, cash will be present in our lives. About 90% of financial transactions today are done with cash. The number of banknotes in the world is growing day by day. However, more and more ATMs are popping up all over the world. People are given a salary not in cash, but by transfer to a card. And since not all cards are accepted for payment, people are forced to use ATMs. Banks, in turn, seek to provide such an opportunity for cardholders as to withdraw funds wherever they are needed by the bank's client. Since banks have a lot of customers, there are a lot of ATMs, and enough money is loaded into them to be enough for at least a day or two. And an ATM is a box of money thrown in the street. A box with big money. If we speak in numbers and in rubles, then this is several million rubles. Several million in a couple of minutes of work on an ATM. Not bad, huh?
Any ATM can be opened in a couple of minutes.
If you look at the media, you will notice that the opening of the ATM turns into a kind of * boom * and is being performed almost every week. The criminals of society caught this topic and realized that the jackpot was big, and the ATM had no security. We'll talk about security below.
So, first of all, we note that there is an ATM in general. This is a safe that contains cassettes with banknotes. Above the safe is not complex electronics in the form of an ordinary computer. The whole is sheathed in a simple soft shell, often of plastic / soft metal. Also above the safe there is a card reader, a receipt printer and other delights that we are not interested in in this article.
Particularly ardent criminals can stop reading the article at this point, go to break off the top roof of the ATM, pull out the motherboard or other electronic element and sell it for a penny on the black market. For those who are interested in the contents of the safe, read on.
Safe. It contains cassettes with money (usually 4 cassettes with up to 2,000 notes each) and a dispenser that takes money from the cassettes and gives it to the card holder through a special small window. [+] Cassette with money.
The smartest way to remove tapes is through the door. The safe itself has two doors. The main one with a key and a combination lock and a false door made of plastic or thin metal, which can be broken off with bare hands or with a small crowbar. By the way, they often put an alarm to open the false door.
Let's move on to the issue of opening the main door of the safe compartment. In fact, there is a wagon and a small cart. One has only to turn on the fantasy. I will describe to you only the main ones and dwell on one of the most effective (gas explosion) and give it in the most detailed way. The first thing to understand is that banks do not sit idly by and implement security and alarm systems. But at the same time, one should not think that ATM is so unapproachable.
Method one. Steal a banknote.
So, steal the ATM. This action is very often practiced around the world. There is nothing complicated. We take a car on which you can load an ATM. We take a strong car cable. We are coming. We put a loop of the cable on the ATM, we knit the other end to the car. Pedal to the floor, the ATM pulls it out of the mount. By the way, it is important to know that the ATM is fixed to the floor with anchor bolts. What it is, look at Google to know. However, this is not a hindrance for this method. This is if you decide to pull out the iron machine with your hands. And yes, the ATM weighs about 600-800kg, depending on the brand, model and type of safe. So figure out as soon as you will load it into the car when you tear it off and drop it on its side. The moment the ATM just tilts, the alarm will go off at the security company. You will have 3 minutes before the arrival of the PSC. Better count on 2 minutes. It's safer this way. Among other things, the ATM is often equipped with a tracking sensor and will send a signal about its location. Therefore, you should buy a signal jammer so as not to meet guests somewhere in the garage when you open the safe. This method exhausts itself. Personally, I don't really like it for many reasons. First, the car must be found somewhere. Secondly, the car will be exposed. Third, the ATM must somehow be loaded onto the car. Fourth, ATM will still have to be opened.
Fifth, the ATM will have to be dropped somewhere. Sixth, it's all very noisy. And in general, a bunch of nuances. But the method takes place, and more than once this method ended in success for thieves.
Method two. Tear off the safe cover with a car.
Success: https://youtu.be/NsjLrJf9Cc0, https://youtu.be/3UN9m8j1nqo
Failure: https://youtu.be/Y50CFHe2ZWI
A chic option in my opinion. Perhaps the fastest and quietest of the presented. The bottom line is that the offender breaks out the cover of the issuing window, inserts a hook with a cable there. The other end of the cable is attached to the vehicle. Pedal to the floor. Since the ATM is attached to the floor with anchors, it remains in place, and the bolts and hinges are deformed and the safe cover comes off. Full access to the contents of the safe in a couple of tens of seconds. Not bad. This method works only on ATMs, the window for issuing banknotes is built into the lid of the safe, and not into the upper part. On alarm, also count on 2 minutes before the arrival of the private security company. Otherwise, there is nothing to add, everything is clear.
Method three. Using liquid nitrogen.
Perhaps it looks fantastic. Perhaps so. I haven't seen real cases, but maybe something will come of it. In films, this is, of course, nonsense, as in the afterburner from a spray can freeze the lock and break the metal with one blow. In life, everything is somewhat different. There is a crazy idea to sheathe the safe with a sealed box, pour liquid nitrogen into it and wait 30 minutes for the safe to cool down to at least -150 - -170 degrees. Then try to break it. Fantastic, of course, but what the hell is not kidding. Maybe someone will get it like that. But make the allowance that nitrogen will evaporate and you will have to constantly add it, not to mention the fact that you will need a large amount of it. Plus the alarm question. Many ATMs have temperature sensors that will work as soon as the temperature drops. This is all that I can give you regarding this method of breaking the safe shell.
Method four. Flame cutting.
https://youtu.be/P7K2IOTbNv8
A very good way, but there are some important nuances. What it looks like. We take an oxygen cylinder, a propane cylinder (acetylene can be used), reducers, hoses (hoses) and a cutter. We arrive at the place. Cut out the place where the door bolt rests. We open the door. Profit. But what awaits us and what is the disappointment? First, the same thermal sensor. As soon as you start heating the safe, the alarm will go off and you will have a couple of minutes to get your hands on your feet and run away. Secondly, if the type of safe did not play a special role in the previous methods, then in this method it is very important. Only the UL291 safe can be opened in this way. It is made of 12mm high alloy steel. If you cut it correctly, it takes about 6-7 minutes. A lot of. You can go to work only if you are sure that there are no thermal sensors.
And, as an example, the CEN IV safe is made like a cake from a layer of steel, concrete and another layer of steel. It is clear that cutting concrete with gas makes no sense. And the whole problem is that it is unrealistic to determine the type of safe by eye. Two identical ATMs will be like two drops of water, but differ only in their internal design and weight.
Speaking of alarms. They are quite expensive and are not installed on all devices. They are rarely placed on ATMs in stores, because, as a rule, the store itself is on an alarm and this, according to the bank, should be enough. If you now look at the media on the topic of ATM opening, you can see how the guys bypass the room alarm and freely have fun with the ATM, which is not equipped with an alarm. So the throttle method is the most suitable for such cash machines. In general, it is cheaper to insure an ATM with money than to install an alarm.
Method five. Plasma cutting.
Essentially similar to cutting with gas, but cutting with plasma. The equipment is more expensive, but the cutting speed is also higher. There is nothing to add. Find plasma cutting on the Internet and read it yourself. How and where to cut is described in the previous method.
Method six. Hammering the bolt.
Nice method. Even more. The bottom line is that a hole is drilled in the place where the bolt stops, for example with a drill, a strong pin is inserted and hammered with strong blows. As a result, the soft locking mechanism crumples and the bolt goes inside, and we open the safe door and run away with the cassettes.
But there are a lot of nuances. Firstly, banks specifically reinforce the crossbars so that they cannot simply be hammered in. Secondly, you need to know the exact place where to make the hole. Thirdly, if there is a vibration alarm, then when drilling a hole in the case, it will work and you will have 2 minutes you know what.
Method seven. Blow up the ATM with explosives.
Success: https://youtu.be/0SuNGGNpKEA
If you overdo it, it will be: https://youtu.be/drOF1544w28
Blow up explosives... Uh. How loud it is! This is not only said loudly, but it will also be done loudly. The method requires special knowledge in the field of pyrotechnics, otherwise you will blow yourself up. We need explosives. Where can I get it? In principle, there is nothing complicated. An explosive (Explosive) with a high blasting capacity (destructible) should be selected. As an example, HMTD, EDGN. It is quite possible to make at home and the power will be no less than TNT. But I want to emphasize and even ask you, if you do not know what and how to explode, it is better to leave this method. It is dangerous not only for your freedom for another ten years, but also for your health and for the health of many people around you, because you can thoughtlessly turn not only an ATM, but also a whole house with people into ruins. It's not worth it. And the term for this act will be much higher than for a simple theft of a couple of million. If you really want to gut the ATM and make broads, then look towards the eighth method.
Method eight. ATM explosion with gas.
https://youtu.be/XXlLZm_nvJo
https://youtu.be/2ITvEZInzCY
https://youtu.be/VhQFwyg_QVw
So we got to the most interesting thing. I will describe this method in as much detail as possible, because, in my humble opinion, this is the most promising method, the simplest, cheapest and relatively (!) Safe.
The bottom line is: we pump gas and oxygen into the safe. Detonate. Because a safe is essentially a closed room, then a huge amount of the generated gases have nowhere to go and they simply squeeze out the weakest point - the door. If you correctly select the amount of gas, there will be a small dull bang and the safe door will open. At the same time, since the explosion is instantaneous, it does not heat the cassettes with money, and also does not create any destruction, except for the broken door. Cold money remains in place to wait until you pick it up.
It should be noted that not only gas is needed, but oxygen too. The explosion will be much more effective. The flammability limit of propane in air is from 2.3% to 9.5%. In oxygen from 2.2% to 55.0%. I hope you understand what's what.
So, we need: an oxygen cylinder, a propane cylinder, reducers for cylinders, sleeves for propane and oxygen, 20 meters of wire, a 12 volt battery (crown), matches. All this can be purchased for 4-5kr. I advise you to take small cylinders that are easy to carry. There are gas welding stations with one liter cylinders. This is ideal.
How to make an electric igniter is a lot of information on the Internet. It can be from a small light bulb, or from a nichrome thread.
[+] Small manual
I don't like the version with the light bulb because of its fragility. Glass no matter how. Any blow and the bulb breaks.
A budget-friendly, efficient and reliable way. Take an iron washcloth. Tear off a thread of a few centimeters from it. Throw over the match head and tie the matches to the trunk with threads. Further antennae cling to the wires. Now, when you apply tension, the iron thread from the sponge will heat up and the match will ignite. Heating takes place in less than a second. It has been tested on experience more than once. Try it yourself.
You can build many fuses, you just need imagination. Smokeless powder can be used instead of matches. It is easy to get it from the mounting chucks, which are freely available in hardware stores. The top of the cartridge is easily expanded even with a nail. Then we shake out the powder.
Move on. Where and how to pump gas from an ATM. In fact, there are two options: through the dispenser window or through the technological hole in the safe case. Through the dispenser window, in my eyes it is better, but it needs to be broken out in order to put something in it. Although this is not difficult. The window is made of plastic or aluminum and is not so difficult to break. It is more difficult with a technological hole, since much depends on the design of a particular ATM. You can do it easier and buy a card on the Internet in someone else's name, withdraw money from it and at the moment when the window opens, PayPal a hose there.
I advise you to fill the hole as well, although this is far from necessary.
How it all looks in practice:
We put the cylinders in the backpack. There are hoses and a wire with a fuse. We take a large bag for cassettes (Dimensions of a cash-in-transit bag for 5 cassettes 800x260x450 mm). We arrive at the place. Using strong screwdrivers, a chisel or a crowbar, lift / break the bill dispensing window. There we insert the sleeves with oxygen and propane about 60-70cm inside. It is advisable to put a mixer at the end. If not, at least route the hoses so that the oxygen and propane intersect and mix. We open both valves for 20 seconds. 25 is the maximum. No more! Otherwise, your ATM will fly away several meters, and the cassettes may fly in different directions. We take out the sleeves. We lower the fuse. Backpack behind the back, rewind 20 meters of wire and go around the corner. We close the key. The fuse ignites causing the propane to detonate. The safe door is squeezed out. We run up, unfasten the cassettes, put them in a bag and leave. Yes, yes, we unfasten the cassettes, and not mindlessly drag the entire heavy unnecessary dispenser with us.
How to unfasten the cassettes:
We lift the green lever up and take out the cassette towards ourselves. Nothing complicated.
Two minutes is enough for everything. Not a single alarm will help and not a single guard will have time to arrive. Now about the cons, of which there are few. Firstly, it is very rare, but there may be an alarm to open the curtain from outside. Therefore, first you should pick it up, move away and wait 15 minutes if anyone will come. If everything is clear, then go ahead. Second, again rarely, but a combustible gas detector may be encountered:
https://youtu.be/EfzEqi0XOBk, https://youtu.be/QQxm29_gnGc
By the way, watch the educational video how the door opens from the explosion.
In principle, all this is not critical, since the whole operation takes two minutes and we can always escape. I advise you to focus on exactly two minutes and if something went wrong, it is better to leave and stay free than to risk it.
Propane or acetylene and what is the difference.
I saw someone say that nothing will work with propane and only acetylene is needed. That's bullshit. Propane, like acetylene, is a combustible gas and explodes very well in oxygen. Yes, the speed of the explosion of acetylene is higher and the explosion will be more powerful, but propane is enough to open the safe above the roof. Considering that a cylinder for acetylene weighs under 20 kg, and for propane 3 kg, then the choice is obvious.
To convince you, watch the video of the propane explosion:

ATM opening instruction (part 2)
Good afternoon, dear readers. This is the second article on the topic of unauthorized opening of an ATM in order to gain access to cash cassettes.
In the first article I covered eight methods of dissection, but as I said, there are many more. In the second article you will learn a few more methods, as well as you can learn a lot more interesting things about this sphere of crimes. It is worth emphasizing that I, as an author, disclaim all responsibility for your further actions and your destiny. Reading on, you automatically agree with this. Happy reading.
General information about what an ATM is and how it works is described in the first article, so I will not repeat myself. If you have not read it, then start with it. Let's continue with the methods. There are five more. No, in fact there are many more of them, but I will give you five more methods to the eight that you know.
Method nine. Circular chainsaw.
Success: https://youtu.be/FvhGogNscFU
Perhaps this method should have been described in the first article, because it is very popular, but I somehow missed it. In fact, everything is simple. You are buying a chainsaw with metal cutting discs. It is worth turning your gaze on more powerful saws. For this is the speed of your work, and therefore your safety. I want to say that you should never spare money for training. By saving a couple of thousand, you get additional security risks. This is useless, for freedom is above all. Take your time and think. Surely the question arises, and where to cut. We cut in the same way as for flame cutting. The picture is in the first article. We cut out the place where the bolt of the door rests so that the door has nothing to cling to. In time, you can cut it in 4-5 minutes. Of course, this is a bit too much. And there is another significant drawback, this is noise. Imagine the noise of cutting steel with a circular saw in the silence of the night. However, there are people who are not embarrassed by this and their business often ends in success. But I advise you to understand that if the vibration alarm goes off, then you have three minutes to make your legs from there. And I want to note that you should not confuse a circular chainsaw with a grinder. These are tools of different classes. You will be cutting something with a grinder for a week, and it is far from being a fact that it is successful. Personally, my opinion on the method is unsatisfactory and I would have chosen another, due to the great noise, as well as the time for autopsy by the time before the arrival of the private security company. Risk.
Method ten. Take away the ATM.
Yes, it sounds silly, but just attach the legs to the terminal. Just put it on the cart and take it away. How and why is this possible? It is not uncommon for many room owners to prohibit drilling the floor for attaching ATM. Then the bank does something stupid, in my opinion, and makes it unsecured. Formally, it just stands under its own weight and is held by several wires that are powered. A funny protection for a safe with millions inside. Such thefts and robberies are quite successful because they take a minute. I drove up with a cart, picked up an ATM, drove to the car, loaded it and drove off. It couldn't be easier. Of the minuses, it can be noted that, firstly, you will have to open the safe anyway, secondly, the car must be turned on, and thirdly, the ATM must then be thrown off, destroyed evidence. But this is all nonsense, if you approach the matter with your head. But I would prefer other more efficient methods to this method. Although the choice is only yours.
Method eleven. Wedge.
It should be noted right away that we are talking about both a simple wedge driven in by a sledgehammer and hydroclines. With a simple wedge, everything is just rustic. I need a partner. You take a wedge, a sledgehammer. One holds the wedge at the slot of the safe door, the second hits the wedge and drives it into the slot. The method is dubious in my opinion, but there were real attempts, only I have not seen successful ones. The hydrocline is another matter. Everything is more interesting here. I am talking about hand hydroclines. They are intended for opening doors and widening gaps. Exactly what we need. Such a piece weighs from 10 kg. The price is reasonable. In general, this is a very interesting method. I am convinced that many ATMs were opened with such devices, but the media do not write this. Usually they say that it is not an established method, that without noise and dust, that they simply squeezed out. I suppose they squeezed out that way, although this is just my guess and nothing more. I think it is not necessary to explain in detail, it will be enough to read the instructions for the equipment.
Method twelve. Explosion in the water.
To begin with, I note that I have not seen the implementation of this method, but in theory it has the right to exist. The bottom line is that we fill the safe with water to the top. After that, we drop a small dose of explosives. Gram 15-20 GMTD above the roof. Detonate. Because water is an incompressible liquid, the power of the explosion on the wall of the safe will be the same as in the epicenter. Thanks to water, even a small amount of charge will easily rip out the door and throw it off very well. The advantage of this method is that it practically does not require financial investments. Water costs nothing. Such explosives can be made at home for a penny (google acetone Triperoxide or HMTD, EGDN). The only difficulty is getting so much water to the safe. But the principle is quite realistic. And yes, do not forget to coat the cracks in the safe with sealant, otherwise the water will pour out. Well, and one more minus that water gets into the cassettes and the money gets wet. Although this is really a hindrance to us? In general, water will close all electronics. By and large, these are just my thoughts, and you think with your own head. But the way is real. And yes, it should be implemented only on ATMs, in which the dispenser window is located above the safe, and not in its door, otherwise it is not convenient to pour water.
Method thirteenth. Cryogenic cutting.
It is impossible to think of anything better than this method, but, unfortunately, it is practically not available to us and will be very expensive financially. Cryogenic cutting is a supersonic jet of liquid nitrogen emitted at very high pressure. She can handle any materials, incl. metals, even very thick. The bottom line is that liquid nitrogen cools the material to very low temperatures, in our case steel, and under huge pressure this area crumbles at the micro level. As a result, the material is cut. It is based on the specificity of liquid nitrogen, when any material, very strongly cooled, becomes incredibly brittle. Even a living frog was frozen, thrown on the floor, and it shattered into smithereens. You see, yes, what is it about? Such a cutter will become a paradise for any thief, for no safe can stand, neither first class, nor third, nor fifth. A very low temperature gives the microparticles fragility, and a huge pressure, up to 4 tons per square centimeter, squeezes out the material. Perfect. But alas, these things are very expensive technologies and they are not freely available. To this day, only a few of the expensive installations from $ 500,000 are used in American astronautics. Google it, read it if you're interested. Maybe someone has money and will assemble a similar unit at home. Only what size will it be and will it be convenient to transport it to the ATM? This method is perhaps still only fantastic and written for the general development of the reader.
13 methods you know. I think everyone can find something closer to themselves. I still think the eighth method is the best - gas explosion. It is instant. It takes a moment. The whole operation takes place in two minutes. It is completely safe and very effective. In the near future, they will increasingly begin to put gas sensors in the safe and the method will come to naught. So far, everything is very favorable for the work of thieves. And a few more words about working with an ATM and the crimes themselves. You don't need to rush in with weapons, you don't need to threaten people, you don't need to leave witnesses. It's simple. Here is a box of money. You have 2 minutes. If you open it, you take it away. Nobody limits the preparation time. What is not lovely?
I would like to stress again that I am not in any way encouraging readers to commit crimes. All information is given for general development and nothing more.
On the question of "smart" people about paint in cassettes. She is not there. Used in the 2000s. It is expensive and unwise for a bank to use such funds today. Cartridges with paint are used only in the bags of collectors when transporting a large amount of money.
Perhaps this is all that I can share with you today. And you don't need to know more. The information above is enough to take possession of the funds of any ATM in two minutes.
A blown up ATM pleases the eye:
I will add a little from myself. Namely, according to the 3rd method. Such a volume of liquid nitrogen in an enclosed space will only lead to a quick death of the robber. Because nitrogen evaporates very quickly and its vapors at high concentrations are deadly poisonous.
Now about the practical use of the same nitrogen in industry. Perhaps for some it will be useful. It is in the direction that interests us. Well, or almost in this direction.
A relative worked at an enterprise connected with the railway with the repair of wagons, etc. In these carriages (trains, electric trains, etc.) there are huge bolts, the diameter I can not accurately indicate, since at that time I did not go into it much. On these bolts, a nut that a priori does not untwist (that is, it was tightened once in production with special equipment and that's it). These bolts are removed at a special post, the post is a special workplace. It consists of a barrel of liquid nitrogen, a ladle and a healthy sledgehammer. In this position, the worker simply pours liquid nitrogen onto the nut with a ladle. The nut turns white. He takes a sledgehammer and knocks down a nut - that is, mechanically simply breaks the bolt.
I don't promise anything. I haven't tried it myself, but technically you can also try to do it with loops on the ATM.
So the whole problem lies in where to find this very barrel with nitrogen and a ladle to water the necessary "loops". What is offered in shops is about nothing. In fact, you need some kind of container that will contain nitrogen and (most importantly) a mechanism, that is, a crane that will supply gas. According to this scheme, I saw the outcome of the kids' work on the M4 highway. Unloading truckers on spare wheels. After their "work" the bolts seemed to be chipped off. So there is some kind of nitrogen supply mechanism for the desired item. He who seeks will find.
Gentlemen, I'll tell you not by hearsay - all these methods are absolutely the wrong coat. Well, perhaps the method with gas, but it's VERY loud and without knowing the proportions of gas, you can be left without profit. In my opinion, the most relevant method (if you are not a professional bugbear, what exactly opens and does not break safes. These are good old assemblies and screwdrivers. All you need to know is the design of the safe and it is not difficult since there are quite detailed drawings and a lot of photos on the network - more just breaking the geometry of the box, we squeeze out the door) I will even say that I have met such boxes (though they haven’t been released for a long time that when you unscrew the loops for him and turn the door over to the side, the door almost falls out, but in modern ones I’ll tell you you just need to press a couple of times in the right place so that this door falls out in case of lying on a barrel) the door is not light that concrete has metal that just metal has from 100 to 120 kg on average (well, perhaps, in general, for weak 60 kg, but this is thin metal and they are rarely put on in the foyer of the bank and the bank, you are unlikely to do it right away.
I will tell you that with proper training, 75 seconds is enough to physically break this casket and leave with the money, but the problem is not to open it (opening it is just not a problem), but in the fact that in our time to find an atm or a room in which it is located without signaling it is practically impossible, but due to the frequent cases of kroshilov in relation to these atm in chops, special routes and response groups work for banks, so question # 1 is bypassing the signaling.
And it is divided into two points a) the physical elimination of the alarm and somewhere the work on social engineering (this happens most often) and point b) this is the work of an electrician and a coder, which is generally rare. So, as noted above, the ability to run quickly is our everything.
You should not put transport close to work - it is by transport that they will come to you - at least 3-5 km from work, and preferably 3-5. I can already see how the "experts" are outraged - read above, the ability to run is our everything, it is better to run the extra 5 km and then calmly leave than play GTA in reality.
