I broke into a banking kiosk last week by accident ;-). I changed the URI on the browser by having a configured exit URI in the banking application. The bank's firewall prompted for a password and I just clicked cancel since I don't have one. It then connected me to the external location and let be browse.
I then discovered I could ignore all the warning messages and the browser still worked. I then tried poking around on the 10.0.0.0 address space and found a link to the corporate internal home page.
I asked for the branch manager and showed them the browser, and explained that the information should be in their logs. I gave them my name and left.
Was there a method to my madness? No. I just started poking around because it did something I didn't expect. However, it points to two items of interest. Any field that will accept input is a possible point of intrusion. Don't assume that security challenges will control things.
Good luck,
Mark

I have to pen-test information kiosk
It is a networked PC with an application which is supposed to run all the
time and from which it is not possible to exit (other than shuting down
the machine). The application starts when an operator logs in with a
given username and password. I haven't been able to put my hands on the
machine but I'm looking for information to prepare the pen-test.
Except the standard networked-based pen-testing I have to find out if it
is possible to break out of the application and access other applications.
I will also try to boot from another device, but the bios is supposed to
be password protected.
Does anybody know of tools and vulnerabilities specific to this scenario?
thanks,
Philippe
