This is surprisingly easy. Look for the defcon talk "atm jackpotting".
The summary is there there are only a few vendors of ATMs and ATM software. They often have a tubular lock with a small number of lock combinations. You open it, and there's the main board. USB (some with auto-play still enabled), CF card (main storage), everything. Plug in what you want. Some insist on code-signing of the CF card to boot, but it can be bypassed.
Often they are exposed to the internet, and as of the talk at least one vendor had a pre-login vulnerability to an internet-exposed port (which the speaker reported, so that particular one is probably fixed now, but goodness knows if the sites in the real world are patched).
Once you have your code running, it's game over. Open the cash drawer, record stripe data (and phone it to yourself whenever you like), rootkit the device to make yourself undetectable.
He bought several ATMs of the most popular model to experiment, right off the internet, some from the vendors themselves. Nobody questioned him.
Watch the talk, it was great.

- SeparateWolf 13y agoWhatever happened to Barnaby Jack? I know he was found dead in his SF apartment sometime after this DefCon talk. Port 18456 is the port BTW. If you do a masscan sweep you'll find a ton of them facing the internet..... I don't think he ever released his exploit or scrooge rootkit.
- coldtea 13y agoHmm, just read on this Jack guy. What was that thing? He was 35 years old and wasn't sick or obese. Now, for people who believe the generally good nature of states (and/or Santa) this might not even raise an eyebrow, but for people who have read their history, well...
