I finally hacked a sign! It’s about time. As we were driving down the highway, my son and I found these portable road signs. The control panels were unlocked. The password to gain entry to the system was on a post-it note inside the console.
Discerning drivers can decide if the message is ABOUT or DIRECTED TO vampires. Personally, I like to think it’s all about the department of transportation warning an army of vampires about a disturbingly vampire-unfriendly part of the highway. At least now I know the default password for these machines. The first one we found died (I assume it ran out of solar power?) before we grew the balls to go change it. Thankfully, the second one was still running, and although I had a lot of trouble typing everything in total darkness, the home keys on the standard PC keyboard saved our evening! It’s pretty funny to think that tomorrow, no one will know about the boring detour that these signs were warning drivers about prior to my shenanigans. Here’s the inside of the box where you enter the password and wordings.

Inspired, and inspiring!
The default password is?
The default password is “public.” That one you can use to change the current wording on the sign to whatever you want. There’s a password of “guest” which you can use to change it to one of the premade signs they have installed like “BLOWING SNOW” or “NO RT TURN.” Then there’s the password “admin” to change the premade signs to whatever you want them to say. I used “public.” This particular sign is made by National Barricade, with the control panel made by Wanco. I’ll upload the picture of the control panel in a few minutes.
[...] Spessa keeps hacking road signs. Take a look at the hilarity on [...]
Someone one RottenEggs did the same thing, pretty cool.
I hardly call opening the box and typing a password that some idiot left there “HACKING” more like vandalism. a true hacker would be able to do that from his home computer.
