This isn't a remote vulnerability, btw. The attach involves picking the lock a and inserting a device to a parallel port.

  The surprising part of most of these vulnerabilities is they are hardware attacks. I had a talk with someone the other day that said she heard people were hacking votes from iPhones. The over simplification of the topic is doing just as much harm as good. I don't know any security professional that would tell you physical access isn't equal to the ability to hack a device. The reality is subversion of people managing processes is of a higher probability that attacks of the machines themselves. It's also not unique to electronic voting, people are always the weak link in security and will always be the weak link.

    The first new attack described in last year's report was that you could DoS a machine by removing its CPU. Which, sure, is something to think about. But it's not what I think people are imagining when you say "voting machine hacking."

      Right!! It's like saying you could DoS a car by removing it's spark plugs.
