Hack A Programmable Road Sign

While I’d call this more of a crime of mischief than a hack, it’s still a neat write up that can let you wreck havoc in your town. By inspecting one of those portable road warning signs, you’ll find there’s a black numpad that allows you to enter letters. Just enter in a few key sequences and BAM!, you’re in. Let motorists know that there are “HUGE FAT BREASTS” up ahead and that delays are going to be “FREQUENT AND POOPY.” Ah, high school humor at work!

After the jump, the directions on how to properly hack said road sign. We’re not responsible for jack shit, including getting sued by your township or whatever. Use it at your own risk, you whippersnapper.

Programming is as simple as scrolling down the menu selection to �Instant Text�. Type whatever you want to display, Hit Enter to submit. You can now either throw it up on the sign by selecting �Run w/out save� or you can add more pages to it by selecting �Add page�

** HACKER TIPS ** Should it will ask you for a password. Try �DOTS�, the default password.

In all likelihood, the crew will not have changed it. However if they did, never fear. Hold �Control� and �Shift� and while holding, enter �DIPY�. This will reset the sign and reset the password to �DOTS� in the process. You�re in!

Voila.
