Borrowed Biometric Bypass	comment	Once upon a time, infiltrating a base was pretty easy: just knock the guards out, take the keys, and get in. Fortunately, modern high-tech facilities, or in The Future have more cunning devices, and can identify the guards by unique biological features, such as handprints or retinal scans. These cunning devices are reliable, efficient, and not prone to believing just anyone who happens to be wearing the right uniform. Great, huh? Unfortunately, the more dangerous individual won't need to get your guards to agree: He'll find someone with the right access and engage in some very unpleasant surgery. He may remove a guard's eye or finger, or he may simply lop off his or her head and hand with a big ol' blade. Then, equipped with those body parts, he'll simply apply these to the biometric authentication device in question and get through. This raises the question of whether or not any such devices would be able to tell whether the hand or eye in question was attached to a living body. In reality, this actually is a key consideration in designing biometric security. Some devices (the cheaper ones, mostly) are vulnerable to this kind of thing. Needless to say, such a weakness is considered an absolute disqualification for usage in any classified government facility. The violent means is rarely used by good guys unless they're Late to the Tragedy and there's already a surplus of corpses, as it's definitely on the morally dubious side of things, even if you don't kill the victim. A more moral person may have to talk or threaten the guard into showing his "Eye-D", or simply wrestle the poor mook into place. However, one way to bypass the identification system without violence is to simply lift fingerprints left on an object or acquire shed materials such as the target's hair. Another option is to wiretap the biometric sensor so that the signal from an authorized subject can be recorded and used later in a replay attack. Such tactics are among a Master of Unlocking's arsenal for getting past locked doors. Note that this is not about bypassing biometric scanners in general. This is about using the body parts of those who have access to bypass the scanners.

Early on in the series, Half-Human Hybrid Kaneki is able to bypass the scanner gates used to detect ghouls. The reason for this is only revealed in the sequel: It's because the scanners have been programmed to ignore certain ghouls, including the one Kaneki received an involuntary organ transplant from.

Borrowed Biometric Bypass / int_1bd9c52c	comment	In a Weird Worlds story, when an elevator Lobo's hijacked reaches his destination, the doors won't open. The elevator attendant explains that they're tied to his DNA, the sensor for which is several floors up, where they just came from, but the elevator won't go back up because he didn't have the chance to use the sensor when Lobo got on. Since there's no ceiling between them and the sensor, Lobo just blows the attendant's brains out, splattering his blood on the sensor.

Borrowed Biometric Bypass / int_1e73962f	comment	Tales from the Borderlands: The characters are faced with a retinal scanner that requires the eye of General Pollux, whose body happens to be in a case nearby. When they find that he's wedged in too tight to move over, Fiona is forced to use a spork to gouge out an eye and accidentally destroys the first one after being startled by Rhys. Upon activating the scanner, they get a pre-recorded message from the General himself in which he states that he's going into suspended animation and asks anyone who is seeing this to activate the revival protocol. Cue silent horror from the characters as they look at the now-eyeless Pollux... Fiona will keep the General's eye for the rest of the game, and you can even use it again! Doing so will freak out your mercenary companion Athena, which is impressive as she's been through this sort of thing before.

After cornering and defeating the Insecticon Hardshell, Grimlock reaches into the turret that Hardshell had been using and drags the Decepticon out, bashing him about before smashing him facefirst into a wall... whereupon the scanner there cheerfully accepts that bit of violence as Hardshell's access scan and opens the door. At least Hardshell got to keep his head—Sharpshot wasn't quite so lucky.

Borrowed Biometric Bypass / int_27b0262b	comment	The MythBusters tested biometric fingerprint scanners, including a top-of-the-line model which was supposed to read body temperature, salinity, and electrical current, but they all proved very easy to fool. To wit: One of them was fooled by a black-and-white computer printout of the finger in question (that had been licked to cover salinity/perspiration). They also found that the expensive reader sold to be used as a door lock was easier to fool than the cheap one used as a log-in device on a laptop. At least, that was the perception the hosts had; they apparently forgot that by figuring out how to pass a basic fingerprint lock, they'd already overcome perhaps the biggest obstacle of the biometric fingerprint scanner (namely, the "fingerprint" part)—at that point, the only obstacle to overcome was the "biometric" part of it, which turned out to be the easier task.

Given that he's under the assumption that the Yuno Gasai we have followed throughout the series is an impostor, he is completely taken off-guard when she gets into the safe very easily. That's because she's not an impostor, but a Yuno Gasai from a different timeline who killed this timeline's Yuno to replace her. Naturally, the Yuno we have followed all the time has the real eyes necessary to open the safe all the time and doesn't need to steal someone else's eyes.

Because Lady Comstock is dead and perfectly preserved within an airtight coffin, Elizabeth decides to break into her tomb and hack off her arm — though she also makes it pretty clear that this is also a form of revenge for having her imprisoned in Monument Island as a child. Unfortunately, Father Comstock finds out about this and uses the Siphon to resurrect the corpse as the Siren, a merger of a still-living version of Lady Comstock from another dimension and Elizabeth's hatred and self-loathing.

In the Patch 5.5 story quests, he gives you a "spirit vessel" containing his blood in order to test whether simply having his blood on hand will allow you to pass the Allagan biometric check. Conveniently, it works without a hitch. This may have been by design.

Used in a more comprehensive way with the football. The nuclear launch codes in the presidential briefcase require the President's complete biometrics and are able to detect deviations from the expected readings, thereby preventing any agency from coercing him or using removed tissues. President Johnson willingly activated the nuclear weapons on Arsenal Gear because he wanted more power than the Patriots allowed him and Ocelot killed him in retaliation. Played straight in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Old Snake had to take a dead soldier's gun, and since the gun only reacts to the soldier's nanomachines, Snake had to bleed the soldier out over the gun so he can use it. You can either cut off a mook's left hand and use the data stored in it to open a gate in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance or just cut the locks open with Raiden's Absurdly Sharp Blade.

Played with in Diamonds Are Forever: To assure that she's really talking to her contact, Tiffany secretly tests the fingerprint of the drink tumbler he was using.

Borrowed Biometric Bypass / int_69d15cc0	comment	Marvel Cinematic Universe: In The Avengers (2012), Loki and his minions use a fancy piece of stolen S.H.I.E.L.D. tech that lets them scan someone's eye and turn it into a hologram good enough to fool a retina scanner. Loki probably didn't have to jam it right into the poor man's eye socket, though... In Captain Marvel (2019), Nick Fury fools a thumbprint scanner by lifting an Air Force officer's print using a piece of scotch tape. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings: While in a high-speed chase out of the Ten Rings compound, Shang-Chi's group approach a heavy gate that requires a hand scan on the dashboard to open. They grab a downed Ten Rings mook and press his hand on the scanner in time, opening the gate, and then press the "close" button so the car tailing them crashes into it.

The vault, incidentally, held Doomsday. Arkham Asylum: Living Hell: Used by fellow Arkham inmate Jane Doe in an attempt to escape through an emergency exit requiring a fingerprint scan, retinal scan, and voice ID. As Jane's modus operandi is wearing the skin of the people she kills and taking over their identities, she was well prepared, bringing her latest victim's severed hand and preserved eye, plus a recording of the victim pleading for her life. Killer Croc bit off a guard's hand, but didn't eat it; somehow or other the lunatic scavenger Junkyard Dog got a hold of it, preserving it in a jar and, when he gets the chance, using it to bypass a handprint scanner to aid in his escape. Night of the Owls: In one of the issues, Mr. Freeze kills a guard by flash-freezing him, then snaps off one of the corpse's fingers and uses it to bypass a locked security gate.

In "The Most Toys", Data tries to do this to Kivas Fajo, only to find his captor is wearing a personal forcefield. In "Brothers", Noonien Soong summons Data to his home using a homing device. Under the control of the device, Data had locked down the Enterprise-D. In order to beam to Soong's home, the Enterprise crew use some tricorders and fancy programming to convince the transporter that it is beaming a few Commander Datas to the surface. In "A Matter of Time", a time traveler from the past with a stolen time machine from the future (got that?) tries to kidnap Data. Since his handprint is required to open the door, nobody has been able to get into or to even scan the inside of the craft. Once the time traveler learns that he can't incapacitate Data (due to his stolen phaser being disabled), Data subtly but effectively convinces him to give himself up. In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Who Mourns for Morn?", a member of a criminal group that had performed a heist years ago threatens to do this to Quark, needing his thumb to sign for delivery of a package (containing the stolen money). Another member of the group points out that they can't very well expect to be taken seriously if they use a severed thumb to sign the invoice.

Not only will using a dead enemy not work, but forcing a hostage's head into the scanner will ALSO fail, since the device can detect (presumably via pupil dilation and rapid eye movement) that they are under duress. The only way to trick a scanner is to either use disguises to trick an authorized person into opening it for you... or just go hack the computer controlling the scanner, and register yourself as authorized. The password's probably on a sticky note attached to the monitor. Played straight in Hitman (2016) in the Colorado stage, where the biometric lock requires target Sean Rose's face, meaning that you either get the man himself to open it or you use a 3D-printed mask.

Borrowed Biometric Bypass / int_8d81bb26	comment	NCIS has used this a few times. In "Twilight", terrorists get around a fingerprint-based biometric login for a drone controller by killing one of the authorized users and cutting off his index finger. In "Power Down", Gibbs and the team learn that the NSA had the developers of the iris scanner implement a backdoor for their own access, meaning two agents have access to every iris scanner in the world (including NCIS, much to Gibbs' concern) and merrily go around clandestinely helping allied agencies with their operations. Sure enough some bad guys find out about this, capture one of them and force her to provide access for a break-in. In one episode the Port-to-Port Killer leaves an eyeball in an ice cube in Tony's drink at a bar. On a hunch, Jimmy brings it up to MTAC, and the door opens, indicating that whoever the eye belonged to, that person is authorized to enter MTAC. We later see the eye's owner, alive and well, just with an eye patch. Once biometric options for phones became prevalent, this tended to show up when a victim's phone is locked and password brute-forcing now runs the risk of destroying its contents, such as one which Kasie had a hunch on and used the victim's corpse to unlock the phone via facial recognition. Everyone is notably unnerved by this.

The issue of whether a corpse's eye can be used is adressed: the iris lock is supposed to only work on living eyes, but after Agasa takes a bullet to the thigh, the criminals remark that even if he dies, the eye won't be rendered unusable for five hours.

After using his own arm and Sidney's to open the door, he realizes that the shuttle can only be started by an authorized crewmember, which Roger (despite being an Almighty Janitor) isn't.

Not only will using a dead enemy not work, but forcing a hostage's head into the scanner will ALSO fail, since the device can detect (presumably via pupil dilation and rapid eye movement) that they are under duress. The only way to trick a scanner is to either use disguises to trick an authorized person into opening it for you... or just go hack the computer controlling the scanner, and register yourself as authorized. The password's probably on a sticky note attached to the monitor.

Unfortunately, the devices' designers have figured this out and altered the devices to check and see if the body part being used is still alive and attached to a body. Until they have a way to make sure the body part is attached to a conscious body, all they've done is add a bit more work. And, of course, in the name of escalation, runners have figured out ways to crack the biometrics that don't require knocking out and/or maiming the target. Cybereyes that can adjust to match retinal scans, chemical baths that can reproduce a finger or palm print from a few cells, Adept powers that allow for vocal mimicry..

No problem, just drag the guard he knocked out a minute ago over and put his hand up to it. Then he has to pass a urine sample scanner. Uncomfortably, he uses the guard to get past this, too — only for the next guard he sees to pull a gun on him as he walks by, having seen the whole thing over the security cameras.

Since the player character is a newly discovered von Valencius scion, Kunrad Voigtvir captures them and forces them to open the vault in the beginning of the game (and Kunrad is too corrupted by Chaos to open it himself). Fortunately, the security sentinel detects stress "humors" in the blood sample and asks the PC if they need assistance—which it provides in the form of a pair of Sentry Guns that promptly hose Kunrad's followers down with lead.

Surprisingly having a pen jammed into it (to hold it with) doesn't seem to obscure the retina at all. Upon learning that all transactions are performed through microchips implanted in the user's hand, John Spartan notes that Phoenix can't mug anyone for money, "...unless he rips off somebody's hand, and let's hope he doesn't figure that one out." This one goes untested, and presumably they could always cancel the account of anyone minus a hand.

The Big Bad turns out to be waiting inside the room (he had a body double's prints set to work for that one night), and admits he can't figure out Artemis got around that lock without even waking the person up. In a later book, the fairies have one that is specifically designed to detect a pulse in order to prevent this (justified due to the fact that it was designed by Foaly). The final book has the ultimate form of this: the use of Opal's clone to deactivate her Doomsday Device.

Borrowed Biometric Bypass / int_f89f466d	comment	In Torchwood: Miracle Day, Jack and Gwen use non-invasive methods to get the biometric data from their target... the assassin chasing them, however, is a little more pressed for time. Bonus points for needing both a hand and an eye. The tissue in question is immortal and thus still counts as alive, ripped off or not.

Then she just casually lets the body thud to the floor as she conducts her business.

As soon as the man opens the door, Conan knocks him silly with the head.

He can be seen later unlocking the same phone with the guy's cut-off finger, which he then dumps in a drinking glass for his friends to find. A waitress who was abused by the dead guy says it would make her day if Castle cut off any other bits.

As Jane's modus operandi is wearing the skin of the people she kills and taking over their identities, she was well prepared, bringing her latest victim's severed hand and preserved eye, plus a recording of the victim pleading for her life. Killer Croc bit off a guard's hand, but didn't eat it; somehow or other the lunatic scavenger Junkyard Dog got a hold of it, preserving it in a jar and, when he gets the chance, using it to bypass a handprint scanner to aid in his escape.

Borrowed Biometric Bypass / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "The Hunted", Roga Danar, a genetically engineered Super-Soldier, gets around the fact that the commbadges are keyed to fingerprints by knocking out a guard and using his finger to activate it. In "The Most Toys", Data tries to do this to Kivas Fajo, only to find his captor is wearing a personal forcefield. In "Brothers", Noonien Soong summons Data to his home using a homing device. Under the control of the device, Data had locked down the Enterprise-D. In order to beam to Soong's home, the Enterprise crew use some tricorders and fancy programming to convince the transporter that it is beaming a few Commander Datas to the surface. In "A Matter of Time", a time traveler from the past with a stolen time machine from the future (got that?) tries to kidnap Data. Since his handprint is required to open the door, nobody has been able to get into or to even scan the inside of the craft. Once the time traveler learns that he can't incapacitate Data (due to his stolen phaser being disabled), Data subtly but effectively convinces him to give himself up.

Borrowed Biometric Bypass / int_ff9ca30	comment	A curious aversion in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Samus routinely has to press her hand on various scanner switches in order to activate them, and her normal hand works just fine even for scanners of different species. It makes sense that she can activate Galactic Federation scanners (with human handprints) since she works for them, and somewhat sense that she can activate (four-fingered) ancient Chozo scanners since she is part-Chozo, but then she can also activate (three-fingered) Space Pirate scanners just the same. It's never stated if the Powered Armor she wears is hacking the scanners or performing any other bypass.
