Lock-hackers crack restricted keys used to secure data centres

A group of Melbourne lock-pickers have forged a creative method for popping so-called restricted locks by 3D printing keys found on freely-available designs on patent sites.

The feat demonstrated at the BSides Canberra security conference last week is a combination of opportunistic ingenuity and lock-picking mastery, and will be warmly-received by red team penetration testers and criminals alike.
