To pick a lock you need 3 things, a tiny rubber gasket, a bump key, and a tiny rubber mallet. (A bump key can be any key that fits inside the lock you want to open.) Conventional locks are useless.
i exclusively remember this being aired and i remember a part of the show is where they talk about the fingerprint lock you see at the end, apparently that lock is from a high tech fingerprint lock company which costs alot of money and apparently went of stuff like biometrics, pulse, warmth and other things that they couldnt specify bc it was a secret, (which is why adam mentioned the pulse thing), and to see it get fooled by a slightly damp piece of paper is really funny to me
They edited out one crucial step?? You mean inverting the black and white image to create a mask for etching instead of a positive? lol. The real secret there was to blow up the original, fix the mistakes and reshrink it.

My father had a lock like that on his computer, I discovered that my index finger and his thumb were almost identical if I hold it on a slight angle. So i busted this before it even was made xD
How is that even possible. It's believed to be next to impossible for one person to have the same finger print and for you to happen to almost identical seems fishy, maybe it was just a shit scanner. On a side not did you and your dad ever ink your finger and print it on a piece of paper to confirm this? Not then (The past) but in the future (Possibly the past)?

I’ve heard from quite a few people these door fingerprint locks and safe fingerprint locks that you can buy at pretty much any big box store are junk, this just proves it.
That would be because it's not a regular photocopy. To make the gel or latex mold you'd need to emboss it, and that's likely what they used. Not just a regular photocopy.
Its been years and years. You can trust the technology on itself. What you can't trust though, is what people will be able to do if they get the access to your faceID or other biometric data.
i wouldnt trust technology too much ever bc anti-technology technology advances at about the same rate as most technologies for obvious reasons, and it advances fast
In Paraguay, you got fingerprint scanners to mark your ins and outs of the work place, if you're late, you get less money at the end of the month. With some ink, and a co worker who has insomnia and always get on time, I've never ''Been late''. P.S.: I let him sleep in the office in return, poor guy can't sleep in his house

Well, believe it or not, but this was done 10 years ago. (Yeah, I'm feeling old too.) I wouldn't be surprised whatsoever if the security industry has progressed far beyond what we see in this video.
Sad that most people didn't now that in advance before they used this technique. I mean you do research before buying a refridgerator but when you can lock your damn smartphone with a thumb which contains a lot of your private information they do it without a second thought.
I have two thumbprints here that I am trying to see if they are the same person, I am not having any luck with this, can you you please help me out here, can someone please show me what I should do. I have watched your videos, but, I am still, at a loss, not really getting any finished results or answers. It seems almost like a simple thing to accomplish but when you start really working on it your self it starts to turn into something I cannot get to the bottom of. Can I send the two thumbprints to you and you can use them as possibly as a demonstration of some sort, or an example for other people to learn from?
The crucial step they don't mention you can find by googling how to etch designs on metal.... wont go into detail, but it should be obvious enough when seen.
all you have to do is turn off the laptop...open it up ...remover the fingerprint device ..then restart the computer ...the computer will boot into the os as if the computer did not have the fingerprint recognition
Here on Brazil you must put your thumb when going to classes on driving schools. One that i know does a fake thumb for ya so you don't have to go there every day, you just have to put your thumb in glue for about an hour
as you messed up on the HHO on how too run your car on water I think its only fare about supper glue its on all the CSI , I would say its harder to get ballistic jell and a 3d printer - if they do not know how to set one up then they are bound to knon there are fare simple ways like reading file fingerprints
They didn't use a single 3d printer, anyway just a simple printout did the trick. Anyone serious with fingerprint faking would have much more advanced techniques that the ones they employed. Myth busted my friend.
