Walgreens PureDigital Camera Hacked 177
Powercntrl writes "While the Ritz version of the PureDigital single-use camera was recently hacked, the Walgreens version wasn't - until now. Codeman, the same guy who brought us the I-Opener hack, found a way to add a standard Smartmedia interface to the Walgreens camera and extract images with a standard Smartmedia reader. Links to sample images showing the camera's quality are included."

ok i did some hacking on the walgreess version and here's what i have done..
first thanks to zonyl for getting me some cameras to mess with..
ok if you look at http://www.linux-hacker.net/html/gallery/website/
you will see there is a daughter board on there with the nand flash for picture storage
if you remove that board you can add a smartmedia socket and using smartmedia card you will
be able to get the pics with a smartmedia reader standard jpg's but it will not do more that
25 pics still (think its using fat12)..
also there is a serial port there labeled rs232 it a ttl level serial port
pin 1 rx []square on board
pin 2 tx
pin 3 gnd
pin 4 data out ?? for lcd ?? video ??
if you hook up a max232 type chip to the board and a pc , in a term program hit
space bar and the camera will return a 0x01 hex (looks like it does autobaud rate)
and if you hit the - key twice it will trigger the flash and count the remaining
counter down but does not write to flash
and if you send a 029 dec (hold alt and type 029 on keypad then release alt) if will
change the format of the data coming out on pin 4..( dont know yet )
so far thats all i got in one night

There are specific contracts that the government requires a signature for ('real property', meaning land, is usually one...), but as a general rule a signature is not required. Just acknowledgment and agreement.
(IANAL, but I did take Business Law, which spent most of the course covering this.)
