These electronic billboards started showing up on I-95 in the NYC and Newark area last year. Given the state of the average company, I figured it was only a matter of time before something like this happened. I just thought it would be here in the US.

Re: Billboard Pr0n
I'm sure we'll start seeing them in the US now that it's been done somewhere else. Just like the Zombies Ahead signs. Personally, I see the billboards as more of a harmless prank.
As Thorn and I were talking about with those little billboard signs that are popping up in 7-11's and pizza shops, I bet those are susceptible to infiltration as well, since they get their feed from an internet connection. There's a Pizza shop near my office with one and free wifi. I may poke around for a bit to see what I can see, since chances are, their wifi and their billboard are on the same network.A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.Comment

Re: Billboard Pr0n
I've been poking at such things around here too. The creepiest ones are the ones in restaurant bathrooms at the urinals at face level. They run a small embedded system off a CF card. I've been unable to obtain the contents of a CF yet but I'm assuming it's linux just running a video loop. would be fun to adjust the loop some timeNever drink anything larger than your head!

Re: Billboard Pr0n
Um well it wasn't illegal as i actually install these so of course it was on a closed street. I have my imsa certification so i get to work with all the technical parts of traffic control
.
You would be surprised actually on how a$$ backward some of these systems are from a security standpoint..
+ vandalism in any form is illegalComment

There are many favors of how they go about it, can't say more than that officially.Originally posted by renderman View Post
While networked, they are still distributed, making impact much like that of by the roadside Zombie warning signs. There are quite a few players in this already, expect many more. You will start seeing these things everywhere, and could change the way we get advertisements as well as how the big cable providers provide ad's.
It's the world of digital video, and folks can even do it with composite video. Inexpensive devices like this http://www.gomax-electronics.com.tw/...&MX-1003B.html enable end users to carve up digital screens, picking and choosing what, and where the content goes.
Most of these systems have Infosec security set at levels that reflect there potential impact to people. Low impact, little or no security. It's a new world for them, and they will learn. The focus is on getting the product out the door, and in as many places as possible, not on the what if situations.
Right now, and from my perspective the technology has a rather large form factor. I would expect this to get very small in the near future. The form factor only being limited by the size and number of the interconnect cables.

The interactive menu types I've come across in vegas are running on mac's (i think the mini) , they're not normally connected to the network that i've seen, but they have enough access and wireless to connect to a WAP. They're usually flash/shockwave based, so they don't have any good methods of staying in fullscreen mode, it seems a very poor choice for such a system, has to be really expensive too.- Null Space LabsComment

Re: Billboard Pr0n
I wonder if they used a VGA virus to get the videos on there?

For those that don't know, at shmoocon, the Marriott TVs in the guest rooms had the VGA input disabled. When asked about it, the front desk told us that it was because "a virus that infected the TVs and came from users' computer VGA ports."Originally posted by beakmyn View Post
