Most locks don’t really keep people out. They just keep honest people honest. At best, they slow an attacker down and/or make it more obvious.
I saw the video too and I found it somehow stupid to 3d printing a key when you can go to locksmith
the key is laid flat against the Flipper Zero’s display and the depth of each cut on the screen moved to match its physical equivalent. This provides a series of “bitting” numbers, which can be used to cut a working copy of the key.
Neat!
Yeah! Just like using a block of cheese! 😅😶
mmm, cheese
The cheaper FlipperZero alternative that can give you the shits, too! Switch today!
You could already do that by just taking a photo of the key, or using a pen and paper, or press it in a piece of cheese. Basically, half of the stuff one already has at hand could be used to achieve the same goal.
Also I am glad that my keys/locks have security features from the current millenium. Makes it a pain to pick or duplicate (yes even non maliciously, the local locksmith needed to order specially stuff just for me when I needed an extra key)
Do you care to share what special type of lock you use?
I wasn’t able to find it online. It came with the house.
It is a flat key that has grooves, normal teeth on the edges, two parallel rows of sparse dimples on the top and two balls that can sink and rise, one large one small.
If anybody knows where to buy more of these, let me know. I only found ones that have some of those features, but not all at once.
I can’t share a photo nor company name since I am out of town for a while and I stored it away. It was some european b2b manufacturer iirc.
