Note: Finger Print, not finger.
Here, have a drink out of this freshly washed glass... no, don't worry, I'll wash the glass for you later. :)
On the last second point regarding access to a device, I could take a week to make up the fake print during which it won't matter if I have it or not. Since your print isn't changing I just need 5 minutes with your device at any point in the future.
- MysticFear 13y agoThen create a detailed model using said high resolution fingerprint. If someone cares enough about your phone to do that, they can probably break into it by other means anyway (jail break, brute force passcode, etc)
- Groxx 13y agoYou leave finger prints on the phone. Just snap a photo with a decent camera - it's probably enough detail. Print it. Stick some latex or glue on it (literally available everywhere). That's it. This is not rocket science or time consuming like brute forcing. You don't even have to shoulder-surf to catch their password.

The CCC has been doing it for years and published a howto with material costs in the low one-digit Euro range. http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=de&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fchaosradio.ccc.de%2Fctv001.html http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=de&tl=en&js=n&prev=...
- melange 13y agoActually it hasn't been demonstrated at all. They dusted a carefully made high quality fingerprint to defeat TouchID, not an opportunistic one taken from something an unwitting victim left behind. Until they do that, this doesn't really indicate much about how weak TouchID is in the real world.
- kwonstant 13y agoI strongly encourage you to try this and let me know how it turns out. I'll wait.
