11-year old girl picking a lock using a "bump" key

"I interviewed and videotaped the eleven year old girl at the lock picking village at DEFCON who demonstrated how she could quickly open a popular cylinder. She had no prior experience with locks and did not understand the underlying theory. Her parents simply thought that she might be intrigued with the challenge of opening locks. And they were correct! All she had was a pre-cut bump key and a "tomahawk" kinetic energy tool, like the one pictured above. The Kwikset that she opened is sold in every hardware and DIY store in the country, and is believed to be secure by the public. It is far from it, and that is at the crux of the security issue at hand. The manufacturers have failed to warn the consumer that certain cylinders can potentially be opened in seconds with this technique."

@mkultra2300 Yeah, DEFCON is fake. There really isn't a TOOOL group there, no Lockpick Village...it's all fake. Just to make this YouTube video.

I prefer lock picks, bump keys feel like cheating to me for some reason...

[mkultra2300]

[poprocks4]

[slowturttle]

ha ha ha, i got some of those keys online at superbumpkeys. com

bump keys are the easiest ones, i dont consider them lockpicking. get a tension wrench and some picks and try that, even raking is hard for a beginner. then tackle security locks. only then r u a master.

thats kwikset quality for you...and unless you are willing to spring for a $400 Medeco lock, your house might as well be open. (graduate of locksmithing school, 100% score with honors)
