AirPort Extreme - Telnet port 9100
Anybody out there have a printer hooked up to their AirPort Extreme basestation?
Try this...
Open Terminal.
Type "telnet your.basestation.ip 9100" and hit enter...
Now type something like "HELLO WORLD" and hit enter...
Does "HELLO WORLD" print out on your printer?
Try with both the private address (10.0.1.1 usually) and the external address from your ISP. I can get it to print from either setting...which is REALLY REALLY bad since anybody can send a telnet request and print out garbage. If you want to know how easy this is...just type "http://your.basestation.ip:9100" in any web browser...

Yeah, 5.2.
Message me with your IP if you want to be a lab rat...I need to test this on more basestations... I'll only print out one thing...and it won't be too vulgar, I promise!
EDIT: Two HP printers exploited successfully. Two Epsons not.
telnet (my ip address) 9100
trying (my ip address)...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
I can ssh to the system with no problems.
I can also ping the system.
WAN site just times out. I would prefer a connection refused, but timeout is good enough for me.
I might do a full portscan on my AE base station later.
