for those playing along at home, the app he used to break into his neighbor's home is called "my neighbor gave me a key to their home".
if we are willing to call this a "break in" then the app is not the operative concept, it's the social engineering that enabled the guy to give you the fucking key.
might as well have written about the shoes you used to break in with.
it says he "spent about 30 seconds in the stairwell scanning his keys". the app doesn't "make" anything in 30 seconds.
> "Do Not Reproduce" keys can be reproduced
"do not reproduce" does not mean "can not reproduce".
> Lock nerds can reproduce keys from a 60-feet picture.
i read "One group of researchers ... could reproduce keys photographed from nearly 200 feet away and at an angle." this is without the app. which is more to my point.
moving on, if the person trusts you enough to give you a key, you don't need it.
Lock nerds can also open your lock in less than 30 seconds using lockpicks or door shims or any number of other techniques. Locks are not a very robust technology.
