ABSOLUT QUARTET
(2008)
Jeff Lieberman and Dan Paluska
Part of the Absolut Machines campaign.
Visit http://absolutmachines.com to interact with
the machine. Hours: 9am-11pm EST. As seen in the
beginning of the video, the visitor to the site
enters a melody on their computer keyboard. The
machine then uses this melody to generate an
original and unique 2 1/2 minute piece of music.
The web visitor also recieves a link to a webcam
video of their piece being played.
You can also visit the machine in person. It is on
display @
186 Orchard st
(between Stanton and Houston)
NY NY 10002
until April 25th, 2008.

Main Findings The main findings of our study are:
1. Malicious software running on a single voting
machine can steal votes with little if any risk of
detection. The malicious software can modify all
of the records, audit logs, and counters kept by
the voting machine, so that even careful forensic
examination of these records will find nothing
amiss. We have constructed demonstration software
that carries out this vote-stealing attack.
2. Anyone who has physical access to a voting
machine, or to a memory card that will later be
inserted into a machine, can install said
malicious software using a simple method that
takes as little as one minute. In practice, poll
workers and others often have unsupervised access
to the machines.
3. AccuVote-TS machines are susceptible to
voting-machine viruse! s - computer viruses that
can spread malicious software automatically and
invisibly from machine to machine during normal
pre- ! and post-election activity. We have
constructed a demonstration virus that spreads in
this way, installing our demonstration
vote-stealing program on every machine it infects.
4. While some of these problems can be eliminated
by improving Diebold's software, others cannot be
remedied without replacing the machines' hardware.
Changes to election procedures would also be
required to ensure security.
