That's my humble opinion on this matter.


agreed. its all bump this and bump that and how deep should my cuts be? and all that junk.

im tired of hearing about them, i mean they are cool, but there is already a large amount of information floating around here and probably elsewhere as well.

there is no need to ask the same question over and over everytime a new person registers an account here.

There is nothing definitive, that's the problem. No exact details to make it work. In videos it looks very easy, which isn't the case in reality; which is why ppl ask so often when their keys off ebay dont work lol. The old threads have dead pictures aswell.

It's a double edged sword.

We (at least I) don't want *just any idiot* being able to utilize bump keys.

This is the way the hacker world goes round. If you aren't elite enough to figure it out yourself, you shouldn't even bother trying. There's no hand-holding in hackerdom. Bump Keys are definitely black hat.

I totally agree, figure it out... (well less the *idiot* comment)

New persons, TRY SEARCHING!!! Sorry, but you DON'T need pictures to figure this out, nor will you have your hand held on this subject, this is LOCKPICKING 101, not BUMPING 101. Lockpicking is so much more of a skill than bumping. New persons, persons interested in bumping, Try searching, reading, google info, check TOOOL, theres tonnes on this subject.


MOD or ADMIN, maybe a sticky on bumpkeys, and call an end to the endless bumpkey threads? Put some good info into it, lock it, say no more bumpkey queston postings, and leave it at that? (thats my idea)


(sorry for ranting, but this is getting old... real quick)

I have an idea. The information is already scattered around in some good threads, if you don't want to give info, simply don't answer the thread. Full stop.
