Looks like the average joe can now read about Coke machine programing. Seems that the service manual is now readily available. When are companies going to learn to guard this material better? Go here to see a video of someone getting into the machine menu. “COIN PAYOUT ROUTINE This function allows you to dump coins from the coin mechanism. |

guard it?!?! wtf are you talking about?!?! The system should be designed under the assumption that all of the manuals are public knowledge - security by obscurity just doesn’t work

this only works if a passwd hasnt been set on the machine and it has the default passwd of 4-2-3-1.
kind of like getting excited about logging into an ‘admin’ acct using ‘admin’ as a passwd! w00t w00t!

Jax; What you’re saying about ‘dont get excited because they could just have changed the default password’. That may be true for computers. You wouldn’t normally expect ‘Admin - Admin’ to work. But on vending machines the chances of the company changing the password are much lower. Small time companys buy a vending machine, turn it on.. and expect nothing more out of it. I honestly bet some of the vending machine owners don’t know how to get into diagnostics mode. The only thing they probably know how to do is open it with a key and re-stock it.
So the default password 4-3-3-1 is likely to work..

This is worse than getting excited about an admin:admin account. If anyone had bothered to actually read the service manual itself, they’d have noticed that the only thing accessible through the external menu with the door closed is the “historial data” menu. To access diagnostic functions, the door *must be open*.
You’re getting excited because you might be able to view how many people have bought a Coke since it was last filled. That is, if the password hasn’t been changed.
FAIL.

Sorry ss,
Not sure what the issue could be, firmware patch or switch on the inside locked out…

i bet a strong enough electromagnet, in the right location,
may trip the door switch, fooling it into thinking it’s open…
… but who wants to carry that arround.

isn’t the CPO apart of the internal computer. And if not wouldn’t it be passwd protected. Not the original to get in to the menu but another.

I own coke machines and all of mine are password protected…. why are yall even trying this…. if a police officer saw you, will go to jail for at least 90days and $2500- fine!

John, I think that a cop would walk away quietly if you said “Damn thing ate my money!” After all, all it appears you are doing is pressing random buttons. Please explain how hacking a Coke machine, maliciously or not, could land you in jail for 90 days when the average sentence for possession of marijuana, a felony in Indiana, is only 3 months.
August 28th, 2007
i dont think it would be much jail time if any at all… depending on how much you steal. i mean if you take enough to get a couple of pops… you get charged with stealing a couple of f@#%# pops lol its the same as if i was in the store stealing stuff

Well well well. It looks like another win for the avarage joe. Maybe when these types of companies are bankrupt, they’ll learn the importance of secrecy. Oh, well. Is I said, chalk one up for the avarage joe!

wow so all of you are soo stupid. it isnt just the default password. it works on all coke machines. every single coke machine works like that. but like someone above said, all you can view is the data of how many sodas were sold. you can only access the motor functions if the door is open

90 days is 3 months……
