Peleus Uhley of @Stake, and therefore, of Symantec, talked a little bit about kiosk security and the ways to hack the retail kiosks. For the kiosks that are Windows-based and are running Internet Explorer connecting to custom sites it’s amazing how many shortcuts there are to open up various dialog boxes that allow you to navigate somewhere else on the Net. There’s also the Print dialog that allows the user to select printing to file, and then navigating to the Network shares dialog box, which is really nifty for exploring the retailer’s network.
PublicWebStations is one of the site pointed out in presentation, an open Linux-based kiosk environment.
