How to hack an ATM
« on: October 06, 2006, 09:02:54 AM »
Just watched a cool thing on Gizmodo showing how to get into the menu on an ATM machine and change settings.  Nothing that will give you free money, but you can change the customized message that's printed on the receipts.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/At_HDzJjwHU&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/At_HDzJjwHU&rel=1</a>

I know where there's an ATM that looks similar to that.  I'm going to try it out next time I'm there.

If it's anything like most electronic devices, getting into that screenie thing will be the same or very similar across most ATMs. So everyone should try it!

How about a textual explanation for the dial-up scum?

You do realize that most ATM's have cameras mounted on them, right? I don't know what the risk is associated with this or if they also log use/transactions, so... I dunno. If anyone does do this, don't do something fucking stupid like change it to a PLA advertisement unless you really want it to come back here.

I agree it would get attention back here, But the cameras are monitoring more of your face, (or body when U steal from and/or rape someone using the ATM. What appeares on the screen is usually confidential for the videos.

and btw, the ATM's showed in the video did not have cameras. If it Inside a financial instirution, then yes, it will have cameras. But in the mall/ 7 Elleven, its unlikely for there to be cameras

  Yeah so?

  It's still a bad idea.

There might not be cameras at the ATM, but there's DEFINATELY one in the store/mall, and if there's a good enough one to get a profile shot, then you're even MORE fucked. I agree with Nate. This is an awful idea. And I have to state again: If someone is gonig to do this, PLEASE don't reference the PLA site on it. The last thing we need are more spooks/shills (I'm thinking Cal's)

Yeah, ATMs are serious business. They contain something of value and you wouldn't want to go messing with them. If you get caught then you could get in trouble. Please do not tell everyone you saw this on PLA, the last thing we need is to be shut down for "having guides to hack an atm" even though we don't. I would not suggest doing this.

If you are doing nothing more than pressing buttons allready installed on the machene (i.e. not hardwiring some kind of "elite haxing machene!1" to it. What if grandma cant see and hits that particular button combination? I'm not saying anyone should attempt it, or that its a good idea, but what would they charge you with "Entering secret acces codes to CHANGE THE RECIPT!" Oh noes! that one serious fellon right there. But we wouldn't want PLA to be shut down either now would we?

I think I-ball was trying to explain this to me one day... but it didn't work on any of the ATMS he found or something.

Please note that the ATM that they tried it on was a mobile unit with no camera.

Please note that just because there's not a camera on the ATM there may be nearby cameras, and one may get a profile view of you at the ATM which is even more incriminating.

See above posts. I still say it's one of those cool things to know but a bad idea in general

I wasn't promoting it, just saying that when they made the video, they didn't just pick any ol' ATM, that there are thing to think about if one was to go through with the plan.

But I agree with you, I really don't feel like pushing my luck and see if I get pwned in the @ss for doing something like that.

I totally just had a mental flash of Office Space with the "federal, pound you in the ass prison" thing after you said that. Maybe because pwned and pound look similar, I'm not sure. It amused me to no end, at least.
