It is not know what the mark was on Cain. The Hebrew word means 'sign', and this could have been either a physical sign or a miraculous display of some kind. In either case, it served to protect him from being murdered.
Jewish AnswerThe mark on his forehead was the letter 'vav' which is HaShem's mark. Depending on what is used to make the mark, it's either HaShem's protection or condemnation.
Side fact:
The Christian "mark of the beast" comes from a misunderstanding of the discussion of HaShem's mark in the Tanach (Jewish Bible). The letter 'vav' has the numerical value of 6 and that's where the Christians created the concept of '666'.
