Coke vending machines are everywhere. They're getting more and more like regular computers with LEDs that show little "ICE COLD" messages and whatnot. Well, there's a lot more to those little built-in computers than you may think. Included in the low-level operating system that these babies run on is an actual debug menu that gives you access to all sorts of machine information and possibly gives you free cokes in older machines.
This article (Published 26/11/2004(d/m/y)) is not too relevant for myself, as i have never seen these machines (closest is the pay via mobile messages) in Adelaide Australia. However, it does let you inside the corporate thinking and marketing ideas of companies, and how often their security team overlooks certain aspects, or allows stolen Codes to be published on the net.
The codes allow:
CASH - Machine Earnings Display
SALE - Total Sale Count
VER - System/Machine Version?
EROR - Error Log
RTN - Return
EXTRAS
CPO - Coin Payout Mode
many more options aswell
