"reconfigured the routing tables ..."

reconfigured the routing tables - so that the print job shipped to Russia! I find that hard to believe. If it was a printer from the 1999 the web interface would have been very primitive.I don't feel that it was possible. As for changing a routing table. I have never seen a printer of MFP printer able to do that. To take a print job and have it go to another IP adddress out side of their network, change the port on the workstation PC that sent the job, to a public address and not have any print jobs ever going to the printer ever? Hard to believe. Sounds like a scare to everyone who may have one of these printers in there home or office (watch out for the few of you that have one!)

Gosh how I hate this kind of "teaser" article

For Mr. Kabay:

There are few things that I, personally, find more frustrating than an article that promises to tell me about hacking printers, and then (after asserting it is possible) defers any real content until some future time.

Is the problem that you're space-limited, and establishing Dale Morris' bona fides took so many words that you didn't have space for actual content? Or is there some other reason you chose to leave the tale (at best) half told?

I agree

I agree with the anonymous comment that this is somewhat of an inane teaser article. How silly. Good god.

What I learned from this article: Dale has a condescending attit

What I learned from this article: Dale has a condescending attitude towards Americans, plays the flute and is impressed with his program development skills.

Mr. M. E. Kabay,

Your holier than thou attitude is such a turn off, that from now on when I see your moniker attached to any article, I will gladly forgo reading it, much less commenting on it. There's no need to be such a pompous jerk. Just provide us (the technical audience) with facts and good content and save the ostentatious diatribe for your personal life!

M. E. Kabay's credibility

The wanna-be-geeks still do NOT understand the real geeks; they probably never will understand; they are too busy hitting the replay button on their remote controlled dildo. Hence the incredible security problems that the real geeks have to deal with. Now that's job security at its best.

Stop Wasting Our Time

Mr. Kabay, Will you please dispense with the irrelevant side commentary and get to some technical meat? You're always plugging yourself and other people. 50+% of your articles is nonsense.

Ouch
