    Expert in hacking unlocks a secret that opens real doors...

    Guys,

    Here's an interesting one.

    A security researcher has revealed a little-known vulnerability in many locks that lets a person create a copy of the master key for an entire building by starting with any key from that building...

    Source and full story here

    Bye.

    Wow that'd pretty cool. This would solve the problem for a lot of people. Especialy those kids who say, "oh ya I can pick locks!" even if they cannot (come on, admit it, we all did that atleast once).
    I wonder if the security journal that he submited that paper to will publish it, or will they recieve so much flak from AT&T and the government that they will decide not to publish it. Personaly I hope that they do, though it would be a rather large thorn in many people's back sides.
