So looking at the lock’s YouTube video it may be susceptible to an attack where you set all the pins to their lowest, turn the key and then jolt the lock several times while continuing to turn the key.
- hcrean 4y agoThis kind of comment is why I read these sort of things: Elegant but unexpectedly simple solutions.
- scotty79 4y agoCompressing the springs by jolting the lock (hitting it with something?) might be very hard if springs are strong and pins are light.
- D_Alex 4y agoEspecially if the lock is mounted in a door.
- _alex_ 4y agoyou're describing a bump key! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock_bumping https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock_bumping
- D_Alex 4y agoNo, that won't work, because the pins cannot be bumped once the lock is partly turned.
- umvi 4y agoWhy not? Vibrations can travel through solid metal. You might be able to make a custom tool that sends vibrations through the core enough to cause the wafers to move up and down even if the core is turned.
- D_Alex 4y agoThe bump key hits the lower pins, which move the upper pins. This is not possible with the Enclave design. You really cannot move the pins by vibrating the entire lock. The pins are so light that you would need tens if not hundreds of g of acceleration to overcome the spring force.
- albrewer 4y agoFrom the video it looked like it would be pretty simple to lift the tiny pin wafers into the pin decoding region if there's nothing stopping you from over-lifting.
