Hacking a printer/Receiving Printer Jobs

[john_s]

So, I was wondering... Is there any way to receive the printer jobs from a printer that is on a local network, that were sent from another computer on that local network.  Here's the situation, I need to intercept documents that are being printed from another computer that is sending the wireless printer the printing jobs... Either be able to reprint them at a later date, or view the documents that are being printed so I can save them on the computer.


Thanks for your quick response.

I don't know much about this, but in general such attack is called MITM (Man in the middle). Maybe it's possible with ARP spoofing or something.
Check out Cain&Abel even though it's a skiddy tool, it works great for quickies

ARP spoofing will do this. As all traffic are routed trough you. You can probably just use something like tcpdump/wireshark and fetch what you need.

You won't get the files with wireshark, only raw packages.

You can follow and dump the bytes sent with wireshark replicating the original file.

Before you try any of the above, try looking in the bottom-right corner and clicking on the icons there. Found out about this in school, there was one program running which allowed me to see everything that was being sent to print and even the ability to cancel the prints. So if you are on a local network then try looking for a similar program.
