This makes me nostalgic. The first homebrew app I ever released[1] helped you pick combination locks with the help of your Playstation Portable.
Looks like the original site that described the algorithm is long dead, but the gist was that once you have the first number from a Masterlock (which you can listen for) the search space of the second two can be reduced with a pretty simple algorithm and so there are only a few dozen combinations to try.

- Fatnino 5y agoIt's actually the last number. It's found by pulling the shackle and noting where the dial sticks. There will be several places but one stands out from the rest and is the last number. Then the last number mod 4 is equal to the first number mod 4 while the middle number mod 4 is ± 2 from the others. This reduces the search space to 100 possibilities to be brute forced in a few minutes.
