You really won't be sniffing the printer's *output,* right? You'll be sniffing the data as it arrives *to* the printer from the client? In this case, you will have already captured the data, and can send it anywhere you want to... If it is already at the printer, your best bet is to see if you can just grab the spool file of the printer itself (depending on the type of printer). For instance, I've got several Gestetner printers that (if you have authenticated access) you can grab/reprint files right from queue management.

Subject: redirecting a remote printer output into an attacker's printer


Hello!

As part of a black box pen-test which i'll try to conduct in the company I work with, I would like to attempt a redirection or sniffing a printer's output.

My thoughts regarding the subject were to try and see if i'm able to arp spoof the printer and it's default gateway, and then to sniff the traffic. As a result of this, I wonderd if there is any free software which I could use to redirect the sniffed data into an other printer.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nadav
