I'm wondering how you can replicate a poorly taken smartphone camera image into a key that would unlock a high security lock. If you can't see the grooves clearly on the key from the photo, how does the software or printer know where the grooves should go? I feel like this is quite a stretch to think you can take a photo of a lock several feet away and get an exact duplicate from a 3D printer.
- tghw 13y agoI went to their DEFCON talk. The key is to realize that there are only a set number of positions for the pins, specifically six, three high and three low (for the sidecut. I believe there are also six positions for the main pins). If you can recognize the positions from the photo, then you can feed the numbers into the code they're publishing that generates a 3D model.
