"A security expert showed off techniques for breaking into ATMs, causing 
machines to spit out cash to a cheering crowd at an annual gathering of hackers.

"I hope to change the way people look at devices that from the outside are 
seemingly impenetrable," Barnaby Jack, director of research at security 
consulting firm IOActive Labs,
told a standing-room-only crowd before launching the demonstration using 
equipment he purchased over the Internet.

He spent over a year learning to break into stand-alone automated teller 
machines found at gas stations, bars and retail establishments.

At the annual Black Hat conference, Jack showed how he could upload his 
home-brewed piece of software dubbed Dillinger -- named after the infamous bank 
robber --
to an ATM made by privately held Tranax Technologies.
After he infected the ATM, he approached the machine and instructed it to start 
dispensing cash."
