Hacktum Fingerprintum Scannum

Locks just keep honest people from temptation, there's no such thing as 100% security...
oseday
Guys, more importantly, how did he get that high resolution picture? That's a really high resolution. That's the most important part.
rashio93
MATLAB is you best friend - I say this from my experience in image processing. There are way more platforms that I don't know about.
notanigga
NERD!
plznotlikethis
tho getting a thumprint from a photo is the same concept as in copying keys from just a photo, be careful out there people!
tetragrammatan
sounds like its straight out of scifi. today's scifi is tomorrow's science i guess
scrim4
So what? I doubt she keeps government secrets hidden with just a fingerprint code. And could he even prove it was close enough to work?
DefunkMyJunk
I mean, for my phone I honestly don't care if anyone can enter. It's just so my screen doesn't unlock
ohyouhere
He also defeated the samsung iris scan with a contact lens

Infrared finger vein pattern scanning is just as easy to do and just as specific without out the risk of being compromised by a pic or print
TemporaryUzername
neither of the photos shown here are the actual photos used, nor are they high enough resolution to do so.
Lyrian
I'd give the guy a thumbs up, but nowhere near a camera.
gvair
What this dude did is not " hacking". Hacking would be if he actually *bypassed* the security control without using the fingerprint.
Irreal
Thats a newer definition of the word
Ulthirm
I've never seen the image, I was like OK I could do that if it's just the arm and hand, that's a bit harder (check that a lot harder)
momemes
swore it was ccc, now I gotta look these guys up, saw a vid of 'people' bypassing the apple id finger print in a minute and I laughed hard
momemes
was like 2 minutes
12missafew99100
I use my penis and there is no know camera that can zoom in on such a small thing. So I'll be fine.
Brian3000atl
Yeah but logging in must be troublesome
12missafew99100
No problem because I'm a grower and not a shower
mikeatike
Mythbusters did it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Hji3kp_i9k
Znayx
What is the crucial step they omitted?
LarnRegis
None, since in the end even the printed on paper one worked. So none of the fancy gel stuff needed in the first place.
mikeatike
Probably how to etch the ballistics gel from the transparency. But that is well known.
Znayx
Ah
LonelyBrannigan
CURSE YOU HIGH RESOLUTION CAMERAS!
cvnk
Well there's your problem. Just outlaw high resolution cameras and we'll all be secure

Arimakura
Get this man a job in our gov to protect our systems bc he obviously knows how to hack em!

throwawaycrow
Wouldn't take it probably due to a lot of the strict rules on it. Lot of folks won't due to drugs tests and the in-depth background checks.
kraftwahrheit
Background checks will waive a lot of stuff if the rest of your past seems in good stable character. Drugs? As long is it isn't habitual.

A shocking number of white hat hackers start out as black hat hackers that get hired by antivirus companies and such.

Then we should use parts of our body that stay covered, who wants to sign petition for "dickerprints" and " viginaprints"

Phone in public place receives a message, suction noises all over the place.
BklynPunisher
Someone used their nipple to unlock their iphone. Just registered it as a fingerprint. Saw a vid on youtube about it.
wiseidiot9
He's whitehat right?
wiseidiot9
...RIGHT?!
flakeOfDoom
No he's not wearing a hat jeez pay attention
flakeOfDoom
He's invisible hat
TrueNation
We should have like bodily fluids type of verification.
schwiftyschwa
You want people to use blood verification on a daily basis? Lol wtf
TrueNation
I was thinking other form of bodily fluids ????
BklynPunisher
That would make getting "jacked at the ATM" an interesting news headline.

Settle down, Stephen Fry.

I'm not sure if that should be a reference to something, but you just said "My smartphone" in german.

I honestly don't know where it's from I just hear the Yogscast say it from time to time.
quisaitlavenir
It's from an episode of QI

Goddamn nerds.

Ja, but this was from A New Dawn, which was a little while ago. 2014.
FullCrimsonic
Don't fucking say that. 2014 wasn't a while ago
merlinious
Three years.

Ja. Hence Little while ago and not Big while ago. But I have just the thing for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIXFC-h3upQ

SelectUserNamefromUsersWherePassEqHash
Which is why fingerprints as a method of verification alone should not be used
Elroydb
But it is an excellent component in two factor authentication
MougliJoe
What about the new ultrasound ones though? They capture depth as well so surely that could be secure enough?
RackhamTheRed
this is why my asshole scanner will be a HUGE succes! HUGE!
AxelYamanaka
one of many reasons. Though personally, the fact that the tech rarely works tops my list.
Blasthole
They use blood vessels now. That way even twins can be told apart.
comacomacomacomachameleon
Biometric + PIN. That's what the DoD is moving to as they phase out smart card + PIN.
kmikl
As the SOLE verifier, correct. As part of multi-factor identification, it's excellent.
aPokal
Also police have a right to your prints without warrant. While a PIN counts as key and needs one. Or such.
merlinious
In the US, you cannot be forced to share passwords or pin numbers and are not required to unlock anything.

merlinious
Thats fingerprint. I was referring to typed passwords.
merlinious
Fingerprints and biometrics can be ordered.
MyMainDutchy
That depends entirely on the sensor used. Most modern smartphones scan the pattern like a photo, but there are some that use sonar like tech
MyMainDutchy
Those are a lot harder to crack because they scan depth as well
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
Maybe also do something like your voice being your password?..
CairoLen
My voice is my password. Verify me.

I am always worried about some next kid with these skills messing up some banking system or something.
Amazingamandaaaaa
Good thing I'm always negative in the bank! Can't steal from the poor.
merlinious
Yes you can, big business and government do it all the time!

I don't know if it can get any more messed up then it is.
RespiratoryRandy
I guarantee that it can
SoraD98
Just take Watchdogs as an example. A high tech city might be strong but all it takes is one flaw to allow someone to shut everything down.
Apeofdeath
Banking encryption is large prime numbers added together, decryption is similar to unmixing two colors of paint
RondomGuy
You know that happens on a near daily basis or at least attempted on a daily basis. There are lots of people looking for quick easy money.
therealVexed
no
merlinious
Definitely attempted, rarely successful.
Kenbamazingbutprobablywontbe
Whats he gonna do? I dont need a hacker to mess up my bank account. I do that on my own. Tyvm

Maybe he makes you rich?

Yeah banks systems are already fucked. First midwest bank - you can enter space as user/pass

You wouldn't download a German Defense Minister.

That was an awesome gif; I've never seen it....+1...also, if I could, I would download an attack helicopter.
morakdais
I don't see why you can't download a gender
Perkeleenretku
I wouldn't steal a car but if I could download a car, I would.

So would I but then again I would also re-militarise the Rhineland too
