My memory is very fuzzy on this, but I seem to remember there being some very interesting extensions to the PostScript language that could command the printer to do fun things like "don't purge the print spool" and "redirect the print spool to system 'x'" - A properly formatted PS document could own your printer. Networked printers are nearly ubiquitous in most companies today - fear your printer! -Dave -----Original Message----- From: Aaron Cheek [mailto:aaron_cheekat_private] Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2003 5:49 PM To: incidentsat_private Subject: SNMP search for printers? All, One of my class Cs got SNMP scanned, and wanted to ask you what the purpose of this scan you think it might be: 80.200.243.104.1152 > mynet.161: GetRequest(25) .1.3.6.1.4.1.641[|snmp] (Apparently an ADSL user at Belgium - 104.243-200-80.adsl-fix.skynet.be) They tried different OIDs: .1.3.6.1.4.1.641 (Lexmark International), .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2 (Hewlett Packard), .1.3.6.1.4.1.480 (QMS, Inc.), .1.3.6.1.2.1.43 (3Com). All scans had src port 1152. What I see in common here is printers. If so, what is the purpose of massively scanning for printers? Other people seeing this? Any ideas? Any known tool?
