Description (as provided by the original submitter)

On 9 Aug 2008, the State of Massachusetts and Boston's MBTA filed suit against 3 MIT students to prevent them from showing vulnerabilities in the MBTA Charlie Card ticketing system.

As part of their pleading, the plaintiffs file this document that is more revealing that the presentation material planned for the DefCon conference.
