Make Your Own Fingerprint!

How to fake fingerprints?
October 26, 2004 (starbug)

In order to fake a fingerprint, one needs an original first. Latent fingerprints are nothing but fat and sweat on touched items. Thus to retrieve someone elses fingerprint (in this case the fingerprint you want to forge) one should rely on well tested forensic research methods. Which is what's to be explained here. (Figure 1).

Figure 1: Fat residue from fingerprint

A good source of originals for our counterfeits are glasses, doorknobs and glossy paper. The standard method of forensic research makes them visible: Sprinkling it with colored powder, which sticks to the fat (Figure 2).

Another solution involves Cyanoacrylat, the main ingredient of superglue. A small amount thereof is poured into a bottlecap, which is then turned upside down and put over the fingerprint. (Figure 3).

The Cyanoacrylat gasses out and reacts with the fat residue to a solid, white substance (Figure 4).

The further treatment involves scanning/photographing (Figure 5) and a bit of graphical refurbishment (Figure 6).

Figure 6: Brushing up the image of the print

The goal is to get an exact image of the fingerprint, for further use as mold, out of which the dummy is made. The easiest way is to print the image on a transparency slide (the ones normally used for an overhead projector) with a laser printer. The toner forms a relief, which is later used similar to letter press printing. Wood glue is suitable for producing the dummy (Figure 7)

Figure 7: Wood glue for the dummy

A small dash of glycerene may be used to optimize humidity and workability. After thorough mixing, the dummy gets coated with a thin layer of the compound (Figure 8,9).

After the glue has dried (Figure 10), it is pulled off the foil (Figure 11) and is cut to finger size.

Theatrical glue is used to glue the dummy onto the own finger (Figure 12).

interesting may throw a whole investigation i a different direction

But now that this thread has been brought up, that is pretty cool. It's a lot of effort, but still awesome.

Did he come up with that by himself?

[Antagonist]

I HIGHLY recommend anyone who plans on seriously using this, especially for a large crime...

use a coppers print!

how fucking awesome would that be to rob a goddamn bank or something, no gloves, and then have the prints match up with a cop that was off duty off the time?

pure hilarity.

I remember seeing this type of thing in "Gone in 60 seconds" where that dwarf black dude had elvis' prints.

edit: oh, and I guess for anyone not wanting to go through all that effort, you could probably use the wood glue itself to simply cover your own prints. Although for more serious crimes it would be more wise to simply throw them off the path.

'my friend' plans on always leaving mis-leading evidence behind for pigs when he does anything felonious in the future...figure if they are going to cheat (bad experiences with police corruption) then might as well give 'em a taste of their own medicine. Its no fair that cops can lie and get away because they are 'authority'.

[Acid44]

that's pretty awesome, doesnt seem too hard either...

how fucking awesome would that be to rob a goddamn bank or something, no gloves, and then have the prints match up with a cop that was off duty off the time?

holy fuckin hell, no, dude, use one from a cop thats on duty at the time, that would fuck the investigation up so hardcore :bigeyes:

[Nox (ADVANCED)]

Why not just get 8 different peoples fingerprints one for each finger and 2 thumbprints from 2 different people.

Now that would cause some shit.

[Acid44]

that is bloody genius, using only thumb prints from 10 diff people would be cool too :D

[.VX]

I get the feeling that some people are going to be rummaging through some pig's rubbish bin tonight.

Seriously though, I think framing a cop is going a bit too far. It's fair enoough to hate them for what they do professionally, but making it personal is over the top a bit.

If I ever have my old Drug-Indoctrination "teacher" hand me anything again, I'm going to frame that bitch for Possesion.

(Probably not, seeing as I'm lazy, and don't want to waste drugs on ignorant cunts like her, but it's still a nice thought...)

Have you ever been beaten by a cop?

Have you ever had relatives in jail for more than a year for something they actually did not do?

The legal system takes things too far, always.

'my friend' has been harassed by cops since a kid and hardly ever for any real crimes, I'm talking about WALKING dirt bikes down the road to get to trails and having a prick cop try to figure out if you are too young to be riding your CC.

Obviously most people "hate pigs" just because...but sometimes, for some people, it goes a little deeper. They are usually the ones to make it personal, at least in the case of my friend.

and as I said, it is NOT fair they are able to lie and fuck with evidence just because they are police. I think most people with a decent level of experience with the law realize that a large percent of cases are not dealt with professionally, if they think you are the man they are looking for they usually have no problem fabricating a little bit of evidence, I mean if you think a cop has never seriously planted evidence...pfft.

As I said, their own medicine, their own medicine.

If you use a cop's prints there will be a higher chance of them assuming that it is a frame job. It would be much better to look up a sex offender and dig through their trash for prints. Nobody trusts sex offenders and chances are they live alone and don't have a valid alibi.

A lot of them are like that.

But I hate them on a profesional level, because of the laws that they enforce, and so on...

Most of them are just doing their job, and not specifically going out of their way to piss you off. Unless you know the guy personally, I wouldn't ruin his life like that.

But this is bringing morals into S&C, so we should start another thread if we want to continue this.

[Th0r]

RoundE is on the right track!

Everyone hates Paedophiles and Sex Offenders as the Sheep consider them to be evil and whatnot. If the case ever gets taken to court the Jury will be biased as the Prosecution would bring the Defendants previous crimes into the court.

Also Antagonist if you want to rant about the Cops there are plenty of threads here in the S&C Forum for you to post them in. Please do so in future!

[RoundElephant]

It's also easier to obtain a sex offender's finger prints. Just look him up on a sex offender website and wait for trash day.

That's such a shitty excuse in my opinion, "doing my job" is just another one of those "I want power but not responsibility!" type of things. The most ironic thing I find though, is they usually claim their job is to "protect" the citizens, or "protect" innocent people, whatever. I guess I'm not a citizen, I would like to point out I'm not a violent offender though.

th0r I'm not quite sure what your getting at, I hope its not sarcasm and you just enjoy those type of rants. Maybe I'll make a thread for people to post examples of police corruption in. I never knew the guy, but the whole Amadou Diallo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amadou_Diallo) incident irks me...what a fucking brilliant name too. This incident will not be forgotten.

but just to relate back to the subject real quick, what do you think the punishment would be for this type of thing? Obstructing justice type charge? Worse? I mean, if you were to say have these things on your fingers and get arrested, then get printed and have them realize "oh wow this guy has some fake prints glued to his fingers?"

Antagonist...

...Read my post.

It wasn't intended as sarcasm or a rant. I simply don't want the thread going dramatically off topic.

[Antagonist]

Just making sure, it seemed odd you were almost encouraging me to go off topic in other topics.


But yeah, to somewhat answer my earlier question, I believe this would fall in the "tampering with evidence" category so I would be careful with what you use this with. It will vary from place to place, but it would most likely be a felony charge.

I'd only recommend doing it in situations where you know that apprehension is definitely not going to be a problem, and get rid of the fake prints after words via destruction, because its possible they would have your prints on the flip side...

I almost wonder if there would be a way to put something on your fingers so there would be no fat/sweat to leave a finger print.

I'm pretty sure there is no way to lift a finger print off of materials, I plan to put socks over tools I use in the future so when they are...ready to be disposed there won't be any prints on them. You'd be surprised what pigs will test for prints nowadays.
