When the Hack 'a' Tack server part is launched, it copies itself to the Windows directory with the name Expl32.exe. Registry auto-run keys are added so that the Trojan server part is executed whenever Windows starts. It listens on TCP ports 31785, 31787, 31789, and 31791, and UDP ports 31789, and 31791 for incoming connection.

The dungeon of Hack is very similar to that of Rogue. It is randomly generated so it changes from game to game. The player must explore to learn where everything is, but the player automatically memorises a map of locations already seen. At the start, the dungeon consists of rectangular rooms connected by dark rooms. Some rooms are lit, but in corridors and dark rooms, the hero can only see one square around them. The hero can see farther in lit rooms, but can retreat into corridors to prevent monsters from surrounding the hero.

The Hack-a-Vote project introduces students to some of the many faces of security, from the malicious hacker's design of subtle system attacks, to the auditing required to uncover those attacks, to the higher level challenges of secure system design. The project ... raises policy implications for how governments might regulate voting systems. The Hack-a-Vote project was inspired in part by Ross Anderson's UK lottery experiment, in which he asked students to consider the security threats of running a national lottery (3).

Groups used several techniques to break Hack-a-Vote's authentication scheme. Among the most common were using back doors to vote without a PIN. One group implemented a hack that let any PIN successfully authenticate after a non-numerical PIN was entered. Other groups used numerical constants already in the code, such as 10 (the number of PINs active at any one time), and 1776 (the network port the console listens on) as back-door PINs. Yet another group accepted any PIN longer than nine digits. In this hack, the administration console returned an error message to the voting terminal, but the voting terminal only considered the error message's numeric prefix, which indicated that the PIN was valid.

The hack only works with the initial reader where the gecko is placed; an intruder would still be barred from entering additional areas inside a building that are secured with such readers. However, Franken says it's possible to do a data dump from the gecko's memory and use the stored IDs on cloned cards. With ID data for many people with various levels of access to different areas of the building, an intruder would be able to access all areas of a building.
