Defcon 2007: Bumping the Medeco Lock

07:38 | Martin McKeay | Aug 6th, 2007 11:28am |

Lock bumping became big news at last year’s Defcon when 11-year-old Jennalynn showed an exceptional talent for being able to bump almost any lock set in front of her. This year she again shows her talent by bumping the Medeco M3 high security lock, a lock that is supposedly un-bumpable! Mark Weber Tobias and 12-year old Jennalynn talk about the Medeco lock and demonstrate bumping the lock in just a few minutes on camera.

[…] Last year’s hot topic was bumping regular locks. This year’s hot topic was bumping a Medeco M3 high security lock, which is supposedly un-bumpable. Martin McKeay got interview and record Mark Tobias and Jennalynn on this very subject. […]

They were able to bump the M3, but it required research and some nifty computer algorithms, and they have not published the research so it’s not like any joe-blow lock bumper is going to be able to do it. Medeco M3 locks are still the best defense against lock-bumping. You can find more information on lock bumping at antibumplocks.com.

JT, I’d agree with you, except that the Medeco M3 was originally advertised as being “Bump Proof” and is still being advertised as “Virtually Bump Proof”. Marc Weber Tobias does point out in the video that he still considers the M3 one of the most secure locks currently available, but I hate to see vendors oversell the security of their products.
