True, but a
locksmith could help by removing all the pins from the
cylinder, so that any key, or a screwdriver, or what-not, could switch
the modes on the system.
It amazes me that uou'd need a locksmith to do that. I would have thought
any halfway decent hacker would know how to dismantle a lock, and would
even know how to re-pin most common locks.
Dismantle, yes. Fragment, absolutely. Re-pin, no.
I greatly respect your acumen, bot all of us are as dexterous, and you keep
saying stuff like that as if it's a mortal sin not to be as adept or
confident with a soldering iron or other hardware but yet still consider
oneself a "decent hacker." I'm all thumbs with that stuff, and I'd
rather
have someone who knows how to do it, do it, then wreck hardware because I
keep getting browbeaten about how I can't do it myself and should.
