I just finished my first VB program! (Visual Basic was really easy to learn, and it was completed in two hours.) The program lets you input the last number of a combination lock, and gives you back all of the possible first and second numbers. This is good for people who have forgotten their lock's combination, and don't have the lock with them. As soon as I test it and stuff, then I will post a download link.

Its used when you know the last number, but not the first two? What if you spun the dial around, intentionally or un-intenntionaly? How would you know the last number? Cool prog anyway, cheers -

What do you mean "very accurate"? It probly just lists every combination given the last number - like "1-1-30" , "1-2-30" , "1-3-30" .. etc. Then you go through 'em all and try to open the lock? Something like that?

Why? - its probly as easy as html. Just draw what you want, then mess with the properties that each object has. I spent a grand total of 2 weeks with VB before I decided to move on since it was so easy. No offense InternlDsk Razz Just bored

I know, but I had to use vb for a class in school. I just thought I'd release the program I made. It does not just list 1-1-0,1-2-0,1-3-0, it narrows it down by a LOT. Smile The output is similar to this:



so combos do follow a pattern, involving the last number Mod 4. I could tell you more about it, and how to determine the last number of a lock if you ask me personally, because i don't know how legal it may really be... Once i make the program better, I will include stuff like that and how to go through combinations a lot faster in the documentation (which does not exist yet).



Anyway, it is at http://IDKProgs.calc.org/vb/Lokrack.exe

Wow, thats pretty interesting, I didnt know that. Like if I put 5 in as the last number, I get these for the first number: "1,5,9,13,17,21,25,29,33,37" , and these for the second: "11,15,19,23,27,31,35,39" - how is it possible to narrow it down that much? It would be legal to say here, ive heard worse Very Happy

Hehe, yea i guess so Very Happy well, I can just go into a lot of detail in the doc.

Also, the possibility of narrowing it down question and most other questions:
someone made a site dedicated to this, and it is located at http://www.geocities.com/MasterUnlocked. That has a lot of stuff, but I have learned more from experience. Also, I know how to drill a lock with a flathead screwdriver, and that can sometimes help if something stops you from using the method for finding the last number.

For all that i am concerned, I am the best person I know with combination locks, owning 16 and knowing 21 different combinations and all. (Did you know that people would actually be stupid enough to buy a stolen lock for half of the origional lock price? Wacko )

lol, there are still a bunch of bugs that i don't know how I missed, and I will make a 1.1 version soon (gets started right now)


EDIT:
OK, I just finished 1.1, and I also made a printer-friendly version of the program. Here are some screenshots:


That is the program version 1.1.


That is the printer-friendly version or Lokrack.


that is the printer-friendly version of Lokrack while printing. (Don't worry, I tested the printing, and it worked fine. I didn't take a screenshot of it then, and my printer is almost out of ink, so I just took a picture of what a possible error might look like)


Download:
Lokrack version 1.1 without printer support. (Green)

I forgot to add that this only works with master locks (like to 40 number gym locks used in a lot of schools). Those locks are portable, and they can actually be taken in front of a computer to use this program.

It isn't just master locks in general, but really more like any brand of small combination padlocks...
