HAXXIN's Peter Geissler demonstrates advanced printer exploitation techniques, covering firmware analysis, privilege escalation and custom debugging tools for embedded platforms.

Modern networked printers represent an often overlooked attack surface in corporate environments, running complex software stacks from embedded Linux to proprietary real-time operating systems. While these devices implement various security controls, fundamental vulnerabilities in their implementation can lead to complete system compromise.

This session, led by Peter Geissler, owner/offensive security researcher at HAXXIN, will cover:

  • Firmware extraction and analysis techniques for Lexmark and Canon printers
  • Exploitation of privilege separation mechanisms and service protocols
  • Novel attack chains combining server-side request forgery and command injection
  • Development of custom debugging tools for closed embedded platforms

Here is the course outline:
