BACKGROUND
DialedIn is the first-ever pinball machine to feature Bluetooth connectivity, a camera, and additional player capabilities through your smart phone. The game is the most technologically advanced pinball game on the market today! As a competitive pinball player and hobbyist pinball operator, I have been wondering whether the game and the app is secure? Can you help me to find the answer?
RULES
- Have Fun, Play Pinball and please don’t brick the machine! Our primary goal is to bring fun games to BSIDES NOVA!
- Responsible Disclosure: If you find something interesting, we will help you disclose the
details to the vendor and the programmers - Don’t pick the locks on this game! If you want to pick locks visit the lockpick village!
UPDATE: We are bringing back this challenge for 2022 since the only vulnerability that was discovered and exploited was identified by a member of the CORE organizers that had a slight advantage.
Several top pinball manufacturers are currently deploying always- on wi-fi connected platforms for several use cases. We plan to look at these in near future!
