Blyde Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 So I was browsing some sites when I come across this (and many others): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Uv45y6vkcQ Dubbed "bump keying", a single key can open many, many locks with the correct size and some modifying. Then you, well, bump the key until the lock opens. Obviously a nasty security flaw. ...I hope this isn't too old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eraysor Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 My old house got burglarised, although they only took the VCR which we were about to replace anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pheonix Gamma Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 My friend brought it to my house one night to watch it, but I was too interested in my other hot female friend to pay any attention to the movie at all... Good times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I went to ace hardware and asked for a key with an all 9 code, and he was like "Okay no problem." didn't even ask me why. A lot cheaper than buying a chisel set and spending an hour shaving a blank key down by hand. Edit: Btw it works in my door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shadix Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Meh, aren't biometrics or whatever they call that about to get big anyways? I'm having very hard time believing that this security flaw is just now being discovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredrikTheEvil Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Its been known for years. They say so in the clip, but its getting more and more known, mostly due to the internet I would assume. Made myself one earlier today, and it works like a charm.
