Megatouch ION R.I.P.

<< < (7/8) > >>

lilshawn:
what appears to be happening in the video is that some kind of return signal that this song had been played was not received by the megatouch so it issued the credit back.

smartbomb2084:
The above video shows the EXACT glitch I was referreing to.

What's even scarier is I know who operates that particular game and its location...

It really is a small world....

lilshawn:
what was mentioned before with patching the credits.xml file with a malformed update, that is more of a hack, and that can be fixed. (like as ed mentioned with disabling outside USB ports.)

but this touhtunes issue looks to be some kind of server connectivity issue, not really a hack per se. I suppose the machine could have been compromised with said malformed update to change certain things to disable the ability for the machine to receive the "all good" signal and take the credit.

Sorry if i sound all confused and noobish, I personally learn best by understanding the theory of operation behind things.

ed12:
the full truth about touchtunes would take a full new thread to explain
surfice to say they are the worest of the worest
for fixing the holes in there crap s/w
to freg them up..usb stick/bash file/load credits/inquore counter
bing bang boom u are playing for free
same as for the ions
and trust me any grade 10 can do this
and it is not that hard to inject a intercepter in a lan cable
hence the reason i disable all usb crap
also i do not fell the need to rewrite merits o/s nor touchtunes

mahkeymike:
ed12, if someone could gain access via usb once, they could easily install a ftp server like vsftpd through yum within the linux centOS system. You could do this all within a single bash script, and have the system start the ftp sever upon every reboot. From there, you could change the credits file and reboot the system whenever you want the credits to be added. Even just changing the file permissions to read only would make it so that upon every reboot the credits file reverts to what was added before the file permisions were set to read only.
