The MINUTE I saw those keys I was like "Yep... Falcon"... My old boss LOVED using Falcon SFIC and even bought out a MK system from them through US lock. There were SO many sold in the area that even today, 10 years later, I still have the control key for that system on my keyring so the second I see a Flacon logo I reach for it and usually get get a pulled core. It might have been convenient and cost effective during the "security though obscurity" days but definitely NOT good security. As one of my favorite movie bad guys explained "Quick and easy is how you bake a cake, or clean a toilet, or shop by mail, it is NOT, how you run a business." I say that to say this.... Chances are, the company who did THAT building, has probably done others, and might well be using the same MK system. Sooo the top tier master and controls would open everything in not only THAT building, but possibly others... We're in a modern age.... Do better fellow locksmiths.

I think I remember you doing a video about a guy that posted the keys to his restaurant years ago. I had never even thought about that being an issue until then. It's so funny to me that all these years of me watching (and enjoying) your fascinating videos started when I was doing some research about writing instruments, pens specifically. YT suggested a video called "PEN testing" or something like that, and I thought, "This guy tests pens for a living? This is a 45 min (maybe it was longer?) lecture about pens? I guess I'll see that that's about." Turned out to be one of your videos and was of course about a whole world that I had never looked into before. I watched the whole video, and then started going through a bunch of your videos, and subscribed that day. I've still never tried to pick a lock, or done any of the things you talk about, but I am still enjoying every minute of your videos. I also hopefully won't make some mistakes people make when travelling or posting online, all because of what you've shared with us. Thank you!

The horizon is a bit below where it would be if this was an infinite plane, because of Earth curvature, take that into account. This means that she' s approximately ALSO at this height. This matches the spec of One Manhattan Square Roof 847 ft (258 m) So she's on the top 5% of the building You can try with other features that align, but it will require using a bit of arithmetic (Thales theorem) It involves the ground distance between the building, and you don't have that problem with the horizon at infinity.

One question that I have now that someone mentioned access to those building amenities: If you have pictures/bittings for TWO different keys in that building, how likely are you to be able to deduce the "master key" bitting (assuming it has one)? With 3 known bittings? 4?

[@shura0107]

Dev has a video on decoding Master Keys. If you're doing the Master Key attack that he mentions, you just need 1 known key and a bunch of key blanks and a key cutter of some sort. Dev also has a video challenge of where he gives you a picture of 1 key, and 2 bitting values of the master key, and you're supposed to figure out the rest, and you can reverse out the 3rd key in the system too. From your original question, you might be able to do it with 2 non-master keys. You could see where the values stay the same, and where they change. If you get lucky, you might be able to narrow down the values for a master, if not outright figuring it out. Obviously, more keys means more info to figure it out, but unless you know for certain, it's possible those other keys may not be for the same system. However, if you do have physical access to the location, and a good reason to hang around, you just need to do the attack Dev outlines.

[@Pystro]

@@shura0107 Oh yeah, I know that video. But this one was about decoding from an image. And yes, I know that _IF_ you're so lucky to have 2 matching keys that don't share a place where they differ from the master key, _then_ you can decode it, but the question was more: what's the likelihood of that happening? I could try to do the math, but I don't even know what factors are important: that the apartment complex has 880-something units; 6 pins total; 10 pin depths; how the pins are distributed between identically bitted pins versus "private" or "dead" pins that the front door and other common locks don't check; ...what else? 880 apartments would mean there's at least 3 private pins, if you want to avoid identical bittings. (Actually 4 because master+1 and master-1 would make the wafers too thin, leaving you with 8^4=2120 or 8^3=265.) So, Let's say that 2 pins have to be identical between keys and the front door lock only checks those 2. (Sounds a bit weak...) If the combinations of the 4 individual bits are truly random, then there's a 7-in-8 chance for any pin of any key to differ from the master, and a 49-in-64 chance for both keys to differ from the master. I.e. a 15-in-64 chance of success for one of the 4 pins. And in total a (15/64)^4=0.3% chance of success for 2 keys. 1.1% for 3 keys, and 2.9% for 4 keys. That seems way too low, somehow. Let's say the even don't like master+2 and master-2 (which still provides over 1000 combinations), then it's (1-(5/6)^K)^4 for K keys, or 0.9%, 3.1% and 7.1% for 2, 3 and 4 known kyes.

I've shared pictures of my keys so I can show people the carabiner I use and the various charms I use to identify different keys, but I make sure it's arranged so that the bitting isn't visible on anything important. It's slightly less secure than not sharing pictures at all (since you can find out what lock brands I use) but still hides the most important information.

[@EyeMWing]

Those are some *NICE* keys to throw away for an insta photo.

[@UnlikelyToRemember]

it's recommended that you change your locks whenever you move in some place new -- you never know how many keys the previous owner gave out to various people.

[@hannahranga]

@@UnlikelyToRemember Yep had a previous tenant of the place I bought drop past to give me a spare key he'd found under his car seat. Like thanks dude but I'd already changed them. Also had an entertaining conversation with a rental agency as I was missing a key on move out day and they wanted to charge me to replace the locks. They didn't appreciate being told that one they'd only recorded the number not what they locked like so they've got no idea if I still had an additional copy.

[@iblackfeathers]

stallone once posted the keys to the vatican on instagram when he visited there. not sure whether you saw that cc to you. lol

[@geekmoto1363]

even if you have the key bitting and the building location, thats still not enough info to know which door the key belongs to, and in a building like that, there are probably going to be 1000+ doors

[@ColinRichardson]

I once seen a video of people marking down to 5mm (0.2inch) from a single picture just by knowing the time of day the photo was taken. I have no doubt people will be able to work out the elevation and even which window she taken the photo from. I personally, cannot do it, but there are some scary cleaver people out there.

[@samiraperi467]

Not 1000+ by any stretch. For one, expensive flats don't tend to have many neighbors (hell, the building *total* very likely doesn't have more than a couple hundred flats). For another, you can approximate how high it is from the roofs of nearby buildings. For third, you get the direction of the window trivially.

[@ailivac]

It might get you into maison-keyed common areas though. You could do plenty of damage with access to that cigar room or bowling alley.

[@marcogenovesi8570]

even if it was 1000+ that's not hard to figure out through other means, especially now that you can open all other doors for common areas of the building

There's another video where she says "apartment 76, my lucky number" 😂❤

[@ace0918]

A Keynote of a video!

[@ok9nja741]

Nice video. You should reach out to her, send her the key to try out, and maybe add contact info for a good locksmith in the area who could repin the cores.

[@bobbing4snapples]

I'd recognize those falcon keys anywhere. The VA likes to use those

Narcissism is a powerful thing and can cloud people's judgment. I hope she will be more careful.

[@RespectTheChemistry]

somewhere around $1.2 - 1-8 mil for those rooms.......

[@DeviantOllam]

By my math that might even be a low number.

[@spblackey]

That $2000+/sqft number was to buy the apartment. The number to the right ($98/sqft) was to rent. Still crazy town.

[@phillyphakename1255]

​@@spblackeydoesn't NYC do annual rent numbers per sf? 100 bucks per annum becomes 8 bucks a month, say for a 1000sf flat becomes 8000 dollars per month total. Seems legit.

Everyone needs to understand privacy, to have a glimpse of security. Everyone needs to learn you're your own worse enemy.

[@jonnymountain8211]

A great lesson to learn from

[@TheHadMatters]

I kinda refuse to care about privacy security as a relatively poor person, because my mindset is that if there are really enough people out there weird enough to commit crimes on people simply because they can, I don't want to be alive on the same planet as them anyway. Like, no one is benefitting here. That said, I just don't post private stuff on social media, because if I want a friend or group of friends to see something that happened in my life, private messages and group chats seem much more useful anyway, so the people I want to see it don't miss it...

It is amazing how many people want to show off their keys. then get upset when you tell them that the can easily be copied by sight reading them.

[@waterboyblue1]

Love the detective work

[@Ki113dbysw0rd]

All obvious to most people on your channel as well, but a similar mentality should be taken when sending screenshots to people, especially in public social channels. Give it a skim to make sure it doesn't have any unique/identifiable information on it! I mean, we have geoguesser players that can find your exact coordinates from some blades of grass and the angle of your shadow, there's no need to make it any easier lol. There's a decent argument that if somebody finds out where you live that you don't want knowing, it's not from some deep connection / insider type sleuthing, it's probably just something you posted yourself X years ago without thinking and it's still there for all to see. Cheers.

[@SylvesterAshcroft88]

I also wonder with someone with a photographic memory, could recreate a key just from sight alone, but i imagine with some keys, that have unusual pitting, that would be pretty difficult, especially with some of the german brands.

[@MAlanThomasII]

I know some people who could absolutely figure out a specific apartment from that video (with a small margin of error of perhaps one floor up or down). Assume that for a large or smart enough fan base, some of your stalkers will be equally sophisticated and DON'T DO THIS. (I do think the shot outside the front door is safer because it's a huge building with multiple entry/exit points and lots of traffic and lots of security, but most people don't live in that kind of fortress tower.)

[@youreabigguy]

16:47 You don't share phots of your keys, eh? What's that BEHIND YOU!? 😲

[@ChuckvdL]

Is there a technical advantage to tip-stopped locks/keys? Are they harder to bump?

[@elenna_alexia]

yeah, I don't have around the clock security and am not insulated from the consequences of my own choices, so I don't post pictures looking out my window or in front of my apartment. or hell, even my neighborhood. also don't post pictures of my face to the public.

[@compu85]

I struggle with possibly over-sharing myself. I bet it wouldn't take someone long to figure out where our place is.... Hope to see ya at camp! Stop by the Unix tent, I'll probably be messing with telephones :)
