Fingerprint reader

[PaCiFiEr...]

Hey I want to lock some of my files!
And then enter them by putting my finger on my fingerprint reader!

Can that be done?

 

[Pooky]

Yes. But porn is bad.

 

[Defib]

LOL

 

[Zenbaas]

Bad Pooky bad!
Sounds like a cool idea though
The fingerprint reader, not the prOn

 

[Keeper]

Tssssss! Burn!

 

[Pooky]

What else would you need a fingerprint reader for?

 

[Zenbaas]

E-books

 

[Pooky]

E-books

Filled with PORN!

 

[Keeper]

E-Books filled with PrOn? But why?

I'm sure the guys at Adobe didn't intend Acrobat for this purpose...

Just know that fingerprint readers have been circumvented before, mythbusters proved that it was possible, even on high end industrial devices.

 

[Keeper]

/me googles "circumvented"

EDIT: circumvented = Bypassing.

Well, how did they do that? Chopping the guys finger off? Using Sellotape like the movies? how

 

[quik]

On cheaper devices they used a scan/copy of the fingerprint.

On the higher end devices they added a heat source to simulate body temperature. They also used ballistics gel but the paper seemed to work just as well.

It was actually scary how easily they managed to do it, this after the manufacturer had gauranteed that they wouldn't be able to.

So yeah, cutting off the finger would probably work well too.
