How is the key obtained? I have access to a couple of macintoshes, but I
don't know what code to run on them to snapshot the key?

You need to read the keys OSK0 and OSK1 from your own SMC device using the applesmc driver on Linux. You can find a piece of code that does this on OSX on Amit Singh's website.

If you are on Linux, I wrote a script that does this for you:

Remember that you have to be on an Intel Mac, as the PPC Macs lack this chip.
