Re: Dumping Data From Printers

Irongeek has some nice things you can do with a printer, use it as an

But apart from that maybe there is a way to run or launch apps from
the printer just someone find out more info do tell.

Depends too much on the printer. some of the larger network-attached
printers or scanner-printers run an os - varying between dos, unpatched
windows nt, windows 2000 or linux.

quite a few support ftp and can be used to relay or mask an attack by
fxp techniques. at least one linux based box I know of is happy to
accept ssh connections, open tunnels (which are a delight in themselves
of course) and if opened to loopback addresses, a mysql database with
no-password "root" access available....
