I saw the video too and I found it somehow stupid to 3d printing a key when you can go to locksmith
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.
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.
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!
This certainly doesn’t make me want a flipper any less than I already do. Seems so fun to mess with
After pen testing a home network it becomes a novelty item.
Turning off TVs and opening Tesla charging ports is fun for a bit.
The best, though, is setting off the department alerts at Walgreens, there’s a lot that exist that the employees have never heard. When you trigger “help needed in the baby department” then watch the employee reactions it’s a fun time.
Beyond that, it’s a paperweight most days.
I have a buddy that uses his to spoof people’s apartment swimming pool access cards.
Hunh. I know next to nothing of the tech itself, but I presume that means it can spoof RFIDs? I wonder how, for instance, “membership” stores’ entry scanners might be affected. Intriguing.
it can spoof RFIDs?
Yep! I read an article recently about a pentester who was challenged to break into a hotel, and they happened to use RFID in their cards. He social engineered and piggybacked into somewhere and then used a flipper zero to get around inside the building when he hit a locked door
