Devices indexed by Google, just for hackers!


by The Uni-Hacker on Jun.03, 2008, under Security

Imagine this, some network devices have built in web servers for management. Now imagine all these devices being indexed by Google. Can you saw Face Pwnage?!

A few different models of HP printers have a built in web server for management. You can connect to the printer and manage it from a web browser. Currently you can get a list of these printers from Google by searching for “inurl:hp/device/this.LCDispatcher”. Google will return search results in which you can just click, and start playing with their printers.

Hackers can easily take advantage of this exploit and do some major damage. All it takes is a large 1000+ page word document to upload through the manager to drive an IT manager crazy.

It’s not just limited to HP print devices either, it’s any device with a built in web server, to include Web cams, Fax servers, Scanners and more. A hacker could use this to gain unauthorized access to a network.
