Voting machine chess

[Floor] sent in this PDF [I've mirrored it here] describing how to get a game of chess running on a dutch voting machine. (Even better, it describes how to monitor who’s voting for what via RF emissions) They did a thorough job of hacking the daylights out of it and proving the insecurity on these machines. You can get some more details on the web site.

  • jj says:

    wouldn’t floating ad’s be some kind of spyware on your computer?

    ive never had a floating ad here.

  • sPiTfIrE-| says:

    Yes, spyware. No ads here, on 3 different machines at 3 different internet connections.

  • jeanphe says:

    no floating ads in firefox on one machine and no ads at all on other with adblock plus.

  • deltaf says:

    Floating ad here on Firefox.. It’s the same ad on the same site, so I’m going to say it’s an Ad.

    The image location for the ad: http://amch.questionmarket.com/static/tribal-150×200-9l-eng-nul.gif

    I also noticed that when the box disappeared on its own the right column ad box changed into some bad HTML. The source included multiple mentions of http://www.education-advancement.com/

    Kill zem! Kill zem all!
