Explore a fascinating conference talk from the 38th Chaos Communication Congress (38C3) that delves into exploiting printer security vulnerabilities through fax interfaces. Learn how researchers leveraged a printer bug discovered at Pwn2Own Ireland to achieve remote code execution through an often-overlooked fax feature. Discover the surprising relevance of this vintage technology, particularly in sectors like municipalities, banks, and courts that still rely on fax communications. Watch live demonstrations showcasing creative exploits, including running Doom on a compromised printer, while gaining technical insights into how seemingly obsolete technology can present modern security challenges. Through this 39-minute presentation by Rick de Jager and Carlo Meijer, gain understanding of printer security vulnerabilities, exploitation techniques, and the unexpected ways older technologies can impact contemporary security landscapes.
