- filltev, on 11/05/2009, -0/+36This is so cool I want one but I would probably forget the secret knock
- serif69, on 11/06/2009, -1/+30*bursts through wall*
TWO BIIIIIIIIIITS!!! - Charlotte_Web, on 11/06/2009, -0/+29If this became a popular commercial product, you could probably unlock your whole neighborhood with "Shave and a Haircut".
- csimpkins, on 11/06/2009, -1/+24Perfect! Unless anyone with ears is nearby.
- Charlotte_Web, on 11/06/2009, -1/+23HI, BILLY MAYS HERE FOR THE SECRET KNOCK LOCK, THE ONLY KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM YOU'LL EVER NEED!
- pegothejerk, on 11/06/2009, -0/+21a backdoor feature allows you to get in by leaning against the door and saying "it's me, dave".
- Matrixsta, on 11/06/2009, -4/+24Hope I don't forget the combination and get Knocked Out
- DrTeeth01, on 11/06/2009, -1/+19One of my closest friends is a jazz drummer. I'll never get into his house now!!
- merbrian, on 11/06/2009, -1/+14Shave and a haircut . . .
- Cyberdactyl, on 11/06/2009, -0/+10Billy Mays would have loved to market this baby!
- govsucks, on 11/06/2009, -1/+11Dugg for title
Q: Why did I immediately think about "the jerk"
A: Because you're an old ***** man - BaddBrainz, on 11/05/2009, -0/+8Knowing me, I would make it all complicated and forget too.
- SreyaNotfilc, on 11/06/2009, -0/+5Huh, I can't hear you. Louder please.
- Greengoo, on 11/06/2009, -0/+5They're the eyeglasses that don't slide down your nose!
- burgerboy06, on 11/06/2009, -0/+5No. Bad.
- MWeather, on 11/06/2009, -1/+6Would it have been so hard to link to the original instead of a copy of the copy of the original?
Here's the original article with plans and code for those who are interested:
http://grathio.com/2009/11/secret-knock-detecting- ... - skintigh, on 11/06/2009, -0/+5"Security" through obscurity for the fail.
Next headline: "Secret rock hides key from everyone who doesn't know about it." - MWeather, on 11/06/2009, -0/+4Burglars would just smash a window in the back. They're not interested in opening doors. They don't even carry lock picks.
- blumathu, on 11/06/2009, -0/+4another back door feature allows you to unlock your back door!
- enantiodromia, on 11/06/2009, -0/+4so, port knocking?
- Mejari, on 11/06/2009, -0/+4"bump and grind room"? Are you sure you're not the toddler?
- joshreed104, on 11/06/2009, -1/+4Who's*
- samanathon, on 11/06/2009, -0/+3That's awesome (until you get trashed one night and can't get it)!
- Mejari, on 11/06/2009, -0/+3BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!
- MWeather, on 11/06/2009, -0/+3Yeah, or :"keypad password lock keeps people who don't know the code out". Who would use something so useless? Surely nowhere with high security requirements.
- Obsidian743, on 11/06/2009, -0/+3THIS is why I come to Digg.
- serif69, on 11/06/2009, -0/+2P-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B
- nadybox, on 11/06/2009, -4/+6Woah man that blew my mind im so baked wtf
- DrummerAndrew, on 11/07/2009, -0/+2Know *****. Were their.
- LoudMusic, on 11/06/2009, -0/+2Impractical, but fun! Would have been great for my childhood bedroom.
- segarch, on 11/06/2009, -1/+3There's a place in hell for people who correct grammatical errors.
- jeremanrox, on 11/06/2009, -0/+2I foresee a ton of drunk college frat boys passed out by the door cause they couldn't knock to the time of the College anthem.
- EverGlow89, on 11/06/2009, -1/+3You're cool.
- SreyaNotfilc, on 11/06/2009, -2/+4*grabs serif69 by the throat and marches over towards a canister full of DIP*
- SreyaNotfilc, on 11/06/2009, -0/+2Gracias...
- spounz, on 11/06/2009, -0/+1the uncomming version might ask for capital knocks or numeral one...
- MWeather, on 11/06/2009, -0/+1Some keypads have audible tones.
- werdywerd, on 11/06/2009, -0/+1Good until all of your neighbors start to pick up on this hearing your "secret knock" all the time and let themselves in all day long while you are gone.
- pegothejerk, on 11/06/2009, -1/+2i don't see nothin wrong.
- Xaevier, on 11/06/2009, -0/+1The ultimate way to make sure you don't get inside your house when wasted.
- ericboehs, on 11/09/2009, -0/+1He does the knock in reverse.
/s - CityLock, on 11/24/2009, -0/+1This would be the greatest addition to a tree fort, ever.
- DrummerAndrew, on 11/07/2009, -0/+1This would be a perfect backup system. You forget your keys and you're in. Change the lock-knock and you're all set again.
- Barathanos, on 11/07/2009, -0/+1Screw knocks with normal time signatures. Maybe if you put in a knock in a weird time signature, only the most musically astute (i.e. probably your friends) will be able to get in.
9/16 to 6/8 to 2/4 here I come - Tommydukes, on 11/06/2009, -1/+2o god thats terrible
- okcomputer1982, on 11/07/2009, -0/+1business time!
- captaingary, on 11/07/2009, -0/+1"Dave's not here, man."
- Liam000, on 11/07/2009, -0/+1so to steal your keys you just have to listen
- nicepants, on 11/07/2009, -0/+1So how does he lock this from the inside?
- greevar, on 11/09/2009, -0/+1I prefer the penis identification lock.
