Hi,

Building off what Mark Reardon has already posted, you should also consider the physical security of the kiosk (e.g. weak locks and visible cables).

Another thing to remember is that passwords of these types of systems are trivial. If you start browsing past issues of 2600 you will find plenty of articles detailing store computers (One that comes to mind is how someone broke restriction controls on a Compaq computer on display at Radio Shack). I hope I was of help.

Later,
Alaric
