The Top-Bottom Joint Slot Machine Hack In the 70s a type of “cheating device” was created out of a guitar string or wire (for the “bottom”) and a metal rod with bent ends (for the “top”). It was named the top-bottom joint, and made its way to Vegas casinos and stayed there through the 80s. Want to celebrate HUGE CASINO WINS with Ellen?! Well, Head’s Up—here’s your chance!

Fans of Ellen DeGeneres might notice a familiar smile peering back at them from slot floors of a handful of Northern California casinos these days: Ellen herself.

Two new machines from slot manufacturer IGT feature animated versions of Ellen singing, dancing and saying familiar catchphrases from her popular daytime talk show. The formal titles of the slots are “The Ellen DeGeneres Show Featuring Ellen’s Dance Party Video Slots” and “The Ellen DeGeneres Show Featuring 12 Days of Giveaways Video Slots.” The penny machines started appearing on casino floors this year; casinos that have the slots include Cache Creek Casino Resort in Brooks (Yolo County), Graton Resort & Casino in Rohnert Park and Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino in Lemoore (Kings County).

Slot geeks like the new slots because they incorporate IGT’s new CrystalCore cabinet, a physical format that features better-than-usual sound and high-definition visuals on a 42-inch vertical touchscreen display. Ordinary gamblers like the games because they offer fun sequences in which a computerized caricature of Ellen dances around the screen and sings a variety of tunes. The machines also are programmed with a number of bonus cycles that pay out anywhere from 200 to 2,500 units.

These bonus cycles resonate particularly well with fans of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” One, dubbed the “Know or Go Bonus,” is designed after the “Know or Go” segment on Ellen’s show, and has (virtual) contestants stand upon a (virtual) platform and eliminates them one by one based on player selection. Another, dubbed “Ellen’s Wheel of Riches Bonus,” mimics the Wheel of Riches from the show and offers players a chance to spin a touch-screen wheel and claim a windfall of cash (or, in this case, coins).

So far, these features appear to be hits. Graton has six machines, and Kord Nichols, vice president and assistant general manager, said the machines “became some of the most popular in the house” virtually overnight. Nichols added that it’s not unusual to see a crowd standing around the machines, laughing at what transpires while people play.

“Ellen has a wide audience, which means slots that have her on them appeal to a broad group of people,” Nichols said. “Slot machines with a fun theme are just more fun to play.”

Nichols added that Graton expects to add four new machines by the end of the summer. Representatives from IGT said they expected the slots to start appearing in other area casinos this year.

Reverse-engineering a 45-year old ALU.This post from Ken Shirriff explains how the ALU worked in Intel’s first 8-bit microprocessor, the 8008. If you don’t know why that matters, “the 8008 is historically important because it essentially started the microprocessor revolution and is the ancestor of the x86 processor family that you are probably using right now.”

Understanding htop. htop is a powerful process monitor that reveals much more data about a machine’s performance than regular top. Here’s a great overview that explains what all the fields, graphs, and related stuff means.

“Smart Contracts” are neither?This post from Ed Felten’s Freedom to Tinker explains how smart contracts, as used in some blockchain-based systems, aren’t really smart and aren’t really contracts.

Have $55? This tool will destroy many devices just by plugging it in. The “USB Killer” device does what it says on the tin, permanently damaging the USB port or entire device in many pieces of hardware. It does this by sucking power from the device, storing it in a series of onboard capacitors, then barfing a giant voltage spike across the USB/Lightning port of the target device, causing it to have a bad day. Maybe Apple’s courage in removing ports was just a brilliant bit of foresight.

A hole in the cloud. Another great 33C3 talk was this series of talks discussing how memory deduplication in virtual machines can be exploited. The three methods (CAIN, CAIN+Rowhammer, and Flip Feng Shui) combine to enable things like SSH login, browser exploits, and a compromise of the software update process.

Cheating a slot machine through the power of random numbers. Using a cell phone app to exploit the PRNG in a slot machine lead to huge casino losses. Read more in this piece from Wired. How much can you exploit the machines for? Try “upwards of $250,000 in a single week.”

The people responsible for sending the missile warning have been sacked. An alerting system test at Spangadhlem Air Base in Germany probably lead to much freaking-out, as a message was sent telling airmen that a missile was inbound to the base and to seek shelter immediately. Eight minutes later, the all clear was sent.

“Web Bluetooth” - two words I never wanted to see together. Chrome version 56 has added support for the Web Bluetooth API, opening up your Bluetooth devices to fun and exciting exploits from the Internet… I mean, opening up your Bluetooth devices to interact with websites for things like data exchange or software updates. Ostensibly, you must affirmatively opt-in before any data about your Bluetooth devices is shared with the website, but we’ll see how well that actually is implemented.

In the security corner: websites continue to find ways to fingerprint users, that doll might be a spy, and new Mac malware comes from Russia, with love:

• In news I’m certain surprised absolutely nobody, researchers have developed a technique to track users even if they use multiple browsers. As you might guess if you’re familiar with fingerprinting techniques, it relies primarily on WebGL tasks, most of which execute in very similar ways across browsers. According to the researchers, they are able to successfully fingerprint over 99% of users.
• The “My Friend Cayla” doll was classified by the German government as an illegal espionage apparatus, because it contains a microphone and is disguised as another object. The Germans, for some reason, are very wary of anything that could conceivably be used for surveillance. Access to the doll is, of course, not very secure, contributing to the problem.
• Xagent malware for the Mac has been blamed on APT28, the same Russian hacking group allegedly responsible for the DNC leaks in the 2016 election. Xagent has many capabilities and uses domains that look like Apple domains to hide their C&C services. Of course, attributing malware to any group is more art than science, but this is still noteworthy because of how strong this malware is.

As a programming note, we won’t produce a rundown next week. Look for the next one on Monday, March 6. Further, we’re continuing to experiment with the best way to deliver this content. Look for video features to join this rundown soon. If you have feedback, or think there’s something I should cover next time, leave a comment!
