master-key-decoder

This implements Matt Blaze's algorithm for recovering the code for the master key from locks (physical locks :) that are part of a master keying system, used in many business environments.

It does so by printing all the keys you need to decode the lock, so you don't have to file down masters.

Warnings

3D printed keys are not very durable, and if your lock is stiff, you could easily break off a key in the lock. Use with care!

Instead of 3D printing them, you could just take the codes to a locksmith and get them all cut, but that could cost a lot, and they'll definitely look at you funny.

HOWTO

To use, enter your code into the "bits" array of mkg.rb and run the script

Append the output to sc1.scad and use OpenSCAD to generate an STL.

Slice / Print the STL.

Once you've tried every key in your lock, and found all the ones that work, enter the resulting code into the sca1.scad file, and print that. Tada!
