Abstract
This chapter focuses on kiosk hacking. An interactive kiosk, such as e-ticket terminals, employment kiosks, or medical records kiosks, is a computer terminal that provides information access via electronic methods. These self-serve electronic terminals are everywhere, and hackers could target them if the kiosks contain confidential information or cash. Although most people don't view interactive kiosks as a security threat, these kiosks are networked data terminals that connect to backend databases that store lots of interesting data: names, addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers, credit card data, bank information and even medical data. A non-tech hacker could be interested in knowing the operating system the machine is running, type of protocols it uses, what addresses and ports it uses, and antivirus it uses. The chapter explains how a no-tech hacker can gather such information form airport kiosks, kiosks at a hospital, or an automated teller machine.
