Rage Against The Kiosk (Brucon 2009)

This talk titled "Rage Against The Kiosk" was given by Paul Craig at Brucon 2009. You can download the presentation here.

Abstract: My name is Paul Craig, and I am the self proclaimed "King of Kiosk Hacking". Last year at Defcon 16, I released iKAT v1.0 (The Interactive Kiosk Attack Tool). iKAT is an online tool designed to allow users to hack an internet Windows Kiosk terminal, in less than one minute. Thousands of Kiosks worldwide have accessed iKAT and witnessed its Kiosk hacking power. Kiosk vendors ran for cover after the Defcon release, fixing their software and explicitly blocking iKAT and my techniques. The year is now 2009, and I have spent my spare time playing with more Kiosks. With even more success than ever before! iKAT v2.0 is now ready to be released, with more oh-day, more tools and more tricks, to provide you with the ultimate Kiosk hacking experience.
