AMA ATM Tech edition

I fix em I build em I know the ins and outs of the industry and cash banking in general. Ask me anything

Things I cant talk about:
>Who I work for
>Who my clients are
>Specifcs on the internals and the programing of the machines
>>
>>675395592 (OP)
Is it programmed in HTML?
>>
Have you fucked a fat girl?
>>
are you armed
>>
>>675395703
HoldsTheMoneyLanguage
>>
>>675395703
no
>>675395767
yes
>>675395823
yes but not by my company
>>
>>675395823
Yes, I have two arms
>>
>>675395592 (OP)
Stupidest thing you've had to fix?
>>
>>675395592 (OP)
They operate on Linux or Unix? What's the language? They blue tooth compatible?
>>
>>675395888
hearty chuckle

>>675395592 (OP)
what could someone in your position do if they wanted to steal a lot of money?
>>
>>675395592 (OP)
How often do you find skimmers installed on your machines?

Followup 1: how many cards go through a machine on an average day?

Followup 2: how long does an ATM go without service?
>>
>>675395990
someone let their kid put a sucker in the check depositor. was disgusting trying to clean it out
>>
>>675396040
Haha a lot of them are still on Windows 2000. Some even still run OS/2
>>
Why they still run Windows 98?
>>
>>675396201
Language? Bluetooth?
>>
>>675396183
Fucking yuck, any of the cheques get ruined?
>>
How do you interface with the machine software?
>>
what's the easiest way to break into one?
>>
>>675396303
they have a headphone jack bluetooth would be fucking retarded
>>
>>675396381
by making sweet, sweet love to it.
>>
>>675396175
OP?
>>
>>675396303
It uses a USB cable. I'll show you later.
>>
>>675396624
>>675396475
Conflicting answers.
>>
Another person that makes these and other kiosks reporting in.
>>
>>675396175
>>675396579
OP my man?
>>
>>675396040
cant say/cant say/ some yes but only on the customer side not for actual diagnostics or testing, most banks are turning away from

>>675396130
couldnt get away with it unless you immediately bailed to country that wouldnt extradite you but the machines dont hold enough cash to make it worth it and the internal security measure are able to detect theft even from someone who has direct access

>>675396175
I've found 3 in 5 years, the machines can detect the most common types and will actually shut down upon detection, if i find them they are either destroyed on site or turned over to the police/fed depending on what they want
1: depends on the location of the machine I work out of chicago which can see upwards of 30,000 a month
2: within a half hour of the machine reporting a problem
>>
What are your thoughts on aptra? Personally, I think it's pure shit.
>>
>>675396381
directly, we just switch modes on it and run diagnostics software
>>
>>675397339
yea its shit, i would rather use windows embeded
>>
Is it possible to just get into BIOS make the machine spit out money?

Is there a way to make ATMs spit out money?

Is there a way to quickly dismantle an ATM and take the money out?
>>
>>675397339
I dont use it, no opinon
>>
>>675396579
>>675397016
jesus bro it's been a few minutes. relax
>>
>>675395592 (OP)
what's a surprising fact about atms or your field in general, that many anons here don't know
>>
>>675397139
Thanks

>I've found 3 in 5 years
That's pretty damn low
>the machines can detect the most common types 
How do they detect them?
>>
>>675395703
i hope this was a joke
>>
>>675395592 (OP)
over the past several months the usbank atms right around me have slowed to a crawl. i know they run on, or at least used to run on xp from previous crash screens

several of the ones i use regularly have gotten so laggy its hard to use almost.

they did recently add those automatic check readers and added 10 and 50 $ bills to their output logic.

do you know why this may be? ive been joking and telling my gf that they are infected with coin mining shit.
>>
>>675397614
atms are gay, i love working on them because i feel like superman some atm cult
>>
>>675395703
If I had to guess, COBOL.
>>
>>675397525
no, bios doesnt interface with the internal devices
no, because that would be a fucking stupid security risk
no, see answer above
>>
>>675397680
the banks will hire some private investigators to go around and check their atms for bugs and stuff like that
>>
>>675397596
Sorry. You had answered questions under mine. Thought you might have skipped me because it was shit you couldn't talk about, or something.
>>
>>675397525
yes hack the eprom so you can remotely take control of the atm cassette.

easier to hack it then bruteforce the money out
>>
>>675397843
Huh, that seems insecure.
>>
>>675397806

There has to be a way though. If the machine is designed to spit out money based upon a series of correct actions, there's got to be a way to get the computer to replicate the mechanical function of spitting money out.
>>
>>675395592 (OP)
how much do you make?
>>
>>675397525
Cant say
Yes
Yes
>>
>>675395592 (OP)
Have you ever done this?
http://frtyb.com/go/eTGf3_bAaEj/Omegkle
>>
>>675395592 (OP)
Tell us some stuff that isn't publicly known. I'm legitimately intrigued.
>>
>>675397614
Dispite what many may think no atm tech in their right mind would steal from an atm, that pretty much a guaranteed way to make sure you never work in a field that involves money ever again because the feds get involved, so when people talk to us and say "damn id be to tempted to steal from it" we think youre fucking retarded because we dont want to end up in jail and then homeless
>>
>>675398117
after taxes about 29k a year usd. on call 24/7
>>
>>675398118
If someone had the right knowledge, I could see someone making an easy six figures a year just traveling the country and exploiting ATMs. Do you have any thoughts on this?
>>
What happens if I put my dick inside it?
>>
>>675398279
Wow... That fucking sucks.
>>
>>675398213
atms run on windows, they use cell networks, they have time bombs planted, they can be remote detonated, they have wifi sniffers to track customers
>>
>>675395592 (OP)
I heard in Canada if you put your pin in backwards...

Ex, 1234 normally, put in as 4321

That the police are alerted?
>>
>>675395592 (OP)
If you can't get at all specific on the internals/programming of them, then what the fuck good are you right now?

Are you praying we'll ask you for some retarded greentext adventures? Fuck off shithead.

Deliver or you're a faggot, it's that simple.
>>
>>675398378
nothing, the money door will snip your dick off.
>>
how many could you get into before you got caught?
>>
what's the cheat code for free money?
>>
>>675398348
this
>>
>>675397680
>How do they detect them?
PI's inspect them from time to time there are also sensors that detect everything from weight on the card readers to ambient signals. these devices (Independant and self contained) arent touched by us and we are told the second we tamper with them we are out the door
>>
>>675398477
No, thats urban myth. Imagine if your code was 1221.
>>
>>675398476
>time bombs 
kek

>>675395592 (OP)

alright here are the schematics to the most popular altel atm. you can only obtain this if you're in the hardware department in their europe office.
>>
>>675397726
any time denominations are changed its usually by the request of the client because they see what the tellers are being asked for so they change the machine to match
>>
>>675398690
Perhaps they don't give out palindrome pins?
>>
>>675398886
You choose your own PIN when you get a bank account. What are you, 12?
>>
>>675398595
exactly 5 if you use Bertrand's postulate and apply it to the time it takes to hack an eprom chip in the mainframe
>>
>>675398742
easy, dial the atms phone number and enter the admin passcode. finding the phone number is the hardest part. the passcode is usually 12345 or 54321
>>
>>675397973
>>675398108
nope the main computers firmware is independent of internal device firmware. you have to have direct access to the internal devices to make them perform, at which point making it spit money out is kinda pointless because youre inside the vault
>>
>>675395592 (OP)
Are there any gps devices AT ALL in or on the atms?
>>
>>675398117
i make around 37k after taxes with this job but supplement my income with other hobbies
>>
>>675399270
what if i cum all over the mainframe and dial in my hacker grandma to lick it all up, then will that work?
