  1. Decoding the Kwikset SmartKey™ Shmoocon 2009 Shane Lawson Fraternal Order of LockSport (FOOLS)‏

  2. FOOLS is a locksport group primarily from Bloomington Indiana We run the lockpicking attractions at Notacon, and helped out last year at Defcon Who?

  3. About the SmartKey • ANSI Grade 1 Deadbolts • Designed to defeat bump attacks • Re-Keyable on demand

  4. Operation • The mechanics of the key do not function like standard pin tumbler locks • Pins have a ledge • The ledge interfaces with sawtooth wafers • The wafers engage the sidebar

  5. ReKeying • Turn the key 90 degrees • Insert the 'learn tool' (stick)‏ • Pull the tool and key out • Insert new key • Turn back to normal • Remove key • The new key works, old one doesn't

  6. The Learn Tool • This is a pokey stick

  7. How it Works • When the lock is turned and the tool pushes in, the wafers are pushed off of the ledges • The new key goes in setting new depths • Turning the lock back snaps the wafers back, and the teeth engage at the new depths.

  8. Supplies • KW1 Blank • Sewing Needle • Anti-Theft tag (from a DVD, CD, etc)‏ • Alligator Clip • Super Glue • JB Kwik or JB Weld (if you want to wait that long)‏

  9. Tools • Dremel • Vice

  10. Decoder Operation • The pennant on the needle acts as a feeler • By shifting the angle of the needle, the pennant can easily move past the housing • Once free, the pennant will touch against any free saw teeth • By counting the teeth, the key depth is also known

  11. Decoder Chart

  12. Cost Summary • KW1 Blank = 1.50 • Needle = 1.50 • Aluminum Shims = free • Superglue/Epoxy = free if you have it, if not $2 for each at a dollar store • Total cost = 5.00

  13. What that buys • This works on all of the smart series of locks • Each one has the same cylinder design • Subdermal fingerprint/keypads make no difference if you can decode the manual override.
