We're all about breaking the law one way or another here at Gizmodo, so enjoy this video tutorial on how to hack an ATM. No, you won't be walking away with wads of cash (not that that wouldn't look suspicious or anything), but you can change the printout on receipts. So, instead of saying "ATM No. 12345," you can change it to say "Sic semper tyrannis" or "gizmodo.com" or something. Please don't get arrested.
Hacking an ATM Machine [Hack 247]













Comments
$5 bucks says 100 idiots try this and 99.99% of them do something like put their email address in there.
I'm going to go out tonight and change every ATM in Barrie, Ontario to read out Gizmodo.com!
I've seen something along the lines of this, that showed you how to have a coke machine. pretty dull, though. No free coke.
push
are you trying to get banned?
stop being a d-bag with the pushing already.
Paradise,
The site has been experiencing a phenomena lately whereby some comments are not posted right away.
It seems that if you post afterwards the original gets "pushed into existence".
Narsil was merely insuring his post is,well...posted.
push indeed. It just happened to me.
Just because they'r enot posted right away doesn't mean they won't be posted at all. Just be PATIENT rather than being an annoying douche.
Yes. I have utter respect for the site, and the last thing I would want is to be a D-bag, as you so eloquently put it. This is the only way I can make my comments appear. if there was any way around it I would have done that by now. My apologies.
Well I do believe this would be very amusing. Is it Illegal? I suppose tampering could/would be considered illegal.
I am going to go change as many ATM's to "My Spoon Is To Big" and see what kind of a reaction I get. If I get caught I will say the interweb told me to do it.
uhh... Narsil not to blow your theory all to hell... but i don't see a "push" message after your most recent comment... it seems to have appeard all on it's own, even though you postulate "this is the only way i can make my comments appear. if there was any way around it i would have done that by now."
This is a great thing to do when there's a camers focused on your face 18" away. I tried the coke machine thing a bunch of times to no avail.
By the way, What does anyone care of someone pushes? Its not like it takes you hours to read "PUSH"
Get over yourself. The site's screwed up and it works. Its better than posting the whole comment again.
I'd like to have a Coke machine. In the corner of my cube perhaps. Soda party!it's called copy and paste ... there's a duplicate checking feature.
if you try to submit the exact same thing you tried to post it will either "push" the old one up or it will let you post the new one.
i just checked the duplicate post code and it still works homerjay.
do you really want to see four billion "push"s in every thread?
If your comment does not appear, just wait a while and it will sooner or later.
Don't most ATM machines have cameras that record who's poking at them?
how long until atm reciepts read 'all your cash are belong to us'?
I've duplicate posted and it still posts both.
I've duplicate posted and it still posts both.
Except this time. :) Okay, It works. I submit.
IT DID! D'oh!
Amusing hack, that.
Unfortunately since the video's maker displayed recipts with the terminal #, time and date I suspect that Tranax Technologies, Inc. will have little trouble figuring out with whom they want to pay a very angry visit.
Okay, it's a bit hit and miss, but trust me, when it does not load instantly for me, that means it never will. I've had the same page open for hours while it said loading comment... it loads perfectly about 20% of the time. The rest of the time i need to push it. And as I am one of the few who seems to have the problem, how painful is it to read the word "push" from just one guy? Grow up, you sissy.
oooh. video's down. someone must not have been happy about their machines being hacked.
I was at the bar last night, and gave this a try; alas, it either didn't work, or I didn't remember the instructions. To top it off, they are no longer online! I guess I just wasn't cut out to be a hacker.
Anyone have a link to where the video may have been rehosted? I want to play a joke on my friends.
it's actually really painful because your second comment has as much substance as your first.
just check your profile before you start "push"-ing things. if it's on your profile it'll be up on the thread.
