“Hacking” a vending machine

July 31st, 2008 by admin

The term “hacking” here means getting free drinks or snack or money from a vending machine. Getting free money is maybe fake but getting free things aren’t, there are people on the internet spreading around news on how to get free things from vending machines. This means exploiting the design of the vending machines. Let’s take a snack machine for example; they put a sensor at the base of the door where you get your snack so that if you did not get your snack they can return you your money. Now this is a design to prevent us customer getting nothing for our money. But people exploit this feature to get free snacks from it. See the chain? Owner helps prevent us getting cheated by machine but some of us use that kindness and screwed them back. So please just abide by the law and don’t steal even from a vending machine
