Jumping out of Touch Screen Kiosks
Background:
Nowadays, the use of large touch screen kiosks has been prevalent. They are to replace tradition paper-based brochures and to provide more interactive means to consumers. In restaurants, you can see a variety of food menu that can be accessible in large touch screen LCD monitor. In your local Telcos, you can see a variety of mobile and Internet subscriptions plans.
Behind these touch screen menus are running standalone or browser-mode Adobe Flash applications which are second-to-none for interactivity and scalablity and ease of update. Data could be pulled from somewhere round their centralized web severs.
Weakness: Jumping out
We cannot use iKat at first as we do not have access to any keyboard facility.
However, the trick is no-brainer.

However, the trick is no-brainer.
- Do long press on any locations and relieve.
- You should see the usual Flash context menu like:
- Touch "Global Settings".
- A web browser window will pop up and redirect to the Adobe URL, http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html .
- At this point in time, you have jumped out of the Touch Screen kiosk. You should be able to see the Window start menu and all that.
- You should be able to imagine next steps on how to compromise this box.
