MATERIALS NEEDED: Metal cutter of some sort (see below)
                  Sheet of metal            (see below)
                  a stedy hand!


Okay.. you know the card I mean all the cool guys have em and most places
have them for accessing secured areas most have modem hookups to be hacked
but first you must learn how to make the cards............. 
   Those security cards.. anoying I know.. and quite easy to duplicate. 
Companies such as Siolex/Chectpiot cards and Panfields are the most common
and the type which I will be disscussing today.
Now the inside of one of these cards looks much like a metal comb. there
are many thin pieces of metal that look like a comb. These are magnetic.
Now recreating one of these is quite simple. Simple take a piece of sheet
metal.. the thinner the better 1/10 of an inch would be ideal. This can
be found in any good hardware or in a metal workers shop. Take this sheet
of metal the longer in lenth the better and about 3 inchs in width is also
ideal but anything longer then that will work fine. Shorter will NOT work.
The longer the better but remember the longer it is the less consilable it
will be as you are walking down the road. 
   Now we come to the more differcult part, making the dummy card. For this 
you will need a metal saw, or any way to cut metal precicly, and a VERY 
accurate tape measure. I mean like 1/15 of an inch (it may seem impossible
yet I have done it.) Now start at about 1/14 of an inch in from one end of 
the metal sheet. It gets easier! after this go another 1/13 of an inch.
Then 1/12 of an inch (see a pattern).... 1/11 1/10 now stop! you are up                   
to the 1/10 of an inch mark.. of rather you have just made that. now go 
about 1/8 of an inch then 1/6 then start the process all over from 1/14 to
1/10 then 1/8 then 1/6. After you have done this about half way to the end
of your metal STOP. Now go another 1/2 inch and make a slit. (NOTE ALL SLITS
Should be AT MOST 1/20 of an inch) now starting from 1 inch then 1/2 an inch   
go up to 1/3 then 1/4 then 1/5... till you get to 1/14 STOP. if you are
not at the end of your metal sheet start at 1 inch and go back to 1/10
but this is not usually necessary. Okay your sheet of metal looks kinda 
funny does't it.. well it should! cut off any additional space of the metal
trying to leave about an inch leway. Okay  you should have a sheet of metal
about 3-4 inchs. this is good. Take a powerful magnet, nothing great an 
electrial magnet will do fine. rub you sheet of metal over this for 1-3 
minutes rubbing ONE way only not back and forth rub one way then lift it
up bring it back and start all over again.. the longer you do this the longer
it will hold its field. Now you are set. The theroy behind this is that
the grouves on the cards are not high tech.. just matnitized metal going
through the reciever at predefined intervals which been in a code.. 
much like if you could picture a metal barcode that is magnetic. Then
when you make your toy, it covers the whole span of space differences between
the smallest space and the longest. The newest companies have larger gaps
which is why the last step is not necessary yet in some cases useful. 

        The use of the matnitized metal sheet as a card is fairly simple.
take your elctro magnit and magnitize it one more time.. before finally
setting off to do the deed. Once you are there start from the top and 
QUICKLY run the piece of metal from the top of the card reader to the total
bottom making sure that all grouves come in contact with the whole reader.
after a second or two it will admit you for it reads the correct card number.
the only problem I have found is that doing this two slowly it will still
register that there is a card in the slot, yet the computer can say that
a certain card can not gain access to a card  reader at a certain time. Yet
the computer will "malfunction" in a way and assume using bionary the '1'
in all cases.  It is that simple..
