Printjob Capture Service

Created
05/30/2018

Description

This module is designed to listen for PJL or PostScript print jobs. Once a print job is detected it is saved to loot. The captured printjob can then be forwarded on to another printer (required for LPR printjobs). Resulting PCL/PS files can be read with GhostScript/GhostPCL. Note, this module does not yet support IPP connections.

Development

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use auxiliary/server/capture/printjob_capture
msf auxiliary(printjob_capture) > show actions
    ...actions...
msf auxiliary(printjob_capture) > set ACTION < action-name >
msf auxiliary(printjob_capture) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf auxiliary(printjob_capture) > run 

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
