MythBusters Fingerprints Busted

[HistoMagouri]

I don't know about you guys but Imma rob a bank tonight! :p

[SourPussProductions2]

if you want to do the etching, just search for how to etch circuit boards

[Jer0meLey]

now i know that wouldnt work, i'm gonna use my padlock :)

4:22 -....-

[monkeysdontlikeyou42]

REALLY PAPER! -.- Wow this is very VERY sad -.-.

[ILoveMyAsianEyesFTW]

am i the only one who thinks the asian guy is cute? O_e

[wrwrooss1]

@ILoveMyAsianEyesFTW yes u r

[deesww]

O.o it even failed with a PRINTED fingerprint. Whats happening with our technology now?!

[ExperAguiar]

@deesww was always like that. they dont recognize 3 dimensional objects, they just take photos of the fingerprint and analyse.

photo by photo, a one from a real object or from another photo doesnt matter.

this is prop gonna change with the kinect and other instant 3D scanners

[deesww]

@ExperAguiar thats good...to think our scanners are failing that badly...

[ExperAguiar]

@deesww the same happen with facial scanners. :(

[deesww]

@ExperAguiar wow...*sarcastic applause*

[TheSuicidalSnail]

1:21 HOLY SHII- THAT'S ALISTOR'S SWORD.

[pikachuthesquirtle]

well it's all worth it because they finally got access to his mega porn collection.

[c0nd0rd4myt]

I have to question wether they installed it right or not.

[akademiker23]

google for "pcb etching" if you want to know what was in the censored scene.

[dfoxx007]

It's a bit irritating when they self-censor ("never mix blur with blur" ).

I understand why they do it, but still..

[pikuorguk]

@dfoxx007 It doesn't matter, they made it work with a photocopied image of the thumb print too.

[CompsciWiz]

That's pretty sad. The company who makes these locks told them it was the best in the world lol

[veryfuck]

@AgentCROCODILE thank thanks thanks thanks thanks THANKS

[captwasabi]

Basically they used the fingerprint on acetate to etch a copy on a circuit board. This gave them actual depth to the ridges that were then translated into the gel prints. You can see how to do circuit board etching here

watch?v=tWnfnt2rNO0

[damulta]

I wonder if they used a laser printer.

[unsheepled]

Biometric ID coming at  you soon :(

[veryfuck]

@unsheepled its already here! i cant go outside the EU without leaving my fingerprints.

i really feel like a prisoner now.

[VideosByRaymonD]

that...is...so cool!!!!

i so want to be a presenter on mythbusters! lots of bombs, guns and fun projects! awesome!

[ricerslayer]

whats the name of this episode?

[hafizitam]

does anyone know what is the name of that copper plate

[jak11111]

Busted!

[mcr89x]

that´s really emberrassing for the producer of these devices ^^

[jawbraeka]

@mcr89x back to the drawing board

[cole003f]

@mcr89x i agree with you there its just like a massive fuck you to whoever made them locks & made up the stupid rumour of thinking it would never be opened by somebody else

[Alliuqe]

They did it all wrong! The jagged bits are part of it which help show the difference between two different prints from different people.

[spencerant88]

K: "Weren't expecting a double agent, were you?"

G: "Ye-ah. From our own team!"

Where else would you get a double agent?

[xiaoyangkao2]

"Well theres your problem!"

[kamikazeslammer]

Yea, that sword is awesome!

[nooberman123]

Nice Alastor!

[bluevsred098]

1:12 there is devil may cry dante's alastor sword in the background!!!!!!

[AlexCharlier805]

haha, thats awesome

[imoncrack8]

Why did the alarm go off ?

[Luige11]

i like where the guy screams ahhh hey!

[odakueffect]

If you have 10 fingers, you can be 10 different people.

[saldire]

biometric devices check only the image not the grease of the finger, i´m a forensic fingerprint examinator, so i can tell you i don´t trust biometric machines, but the fingerprints forensic identification is the best way to identify a dab guy, i mean dna in the last 20 years only matched 200,000 id in civil and criminal process, and fingerprints identified more than 2million of id match for diferent purposes. dont get confused biometric stuff can be cheated, human id cannot.

[Triundi]

Well, sure. This is just for fun around the office or something.

[Eliminator84]

grants poor defenceless fingerprint. didnt stand a chance

[Eggyrocks1]

lol

[thepumpenator]

ouch grant, that must have hurt

[filipasantinho]

I think the scanner they were using are bad!

I have a fingerprint scanner from microsoft, I tried to do this whith the paper, and my scanner didn't recognised!

[Ksxai]

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.

[wikipedian7]

@filipasantinho The paper only works with the lock. Only the balistic gel work with the scanner. Obviously the lock is way weaker than the USB scanner.

[3Hunter7]

lmao the paper worked,
