Ethical Hacking for beginners… download and print

After 15 years, the original Secure Boot certificates that keep your PC safe during boot are expiring.

Microsoft has announced that the original Secure Boot certificates that were issued when the feature first began shipping in 2011 are set to expire this June.

PCs that are not up to date will enter a "degraded security state" when this happens. This is the first time since Secure Boot was introduced that its certificates are expiring.

Pretty much all PCs shipped since 2011 include Secure Boot, so most Windows users will be affected.

Microsoft says that most PCs will automatically receive new Secure Boot certificates via Windows Update, but some will need an additional firmware update issued by their OEM.

Printers on a network

🧨 Fun Fact: The Cyberattack That Used a Printer to Hack a Network
Yes — a printer.
Not a server.
Not a laptop.
A printer.
🖨️ The Incident
In several real-world pe*******on tests and documented attacks, security researchers discovered that network printers were one of the easiest entry points into corporate networks.
Why?
Because almost nobody secures them.
Printers often run outdated firmware, expose open ports, and sit quietly inside internal networks — trusted by everything.
🧠 How the Attack Worked
Attackers scanned the network and found a printer with:
Default admin credentials
Open management ports
No encryption
Once inside, they used the printer to:
Capture print jobs (documents, invoices, passwords)
Pivot to other internal systems
Inject malicious firmware
Use the printer as a stealth backdoor
No antivirus.
No alerts.
No suspicion.
🤯 The Creepy Part
In one case, attackers remotely sent print jobs with messages like:
“Your network has been compromised.”
The printer literally warned the company that it had been hacked — after the fact.
🧠 Fun Fact
In 2018, security researcher Michael “Stackoverflowin” Kranch demonstrated that many printers could be hacked using nothing more than a browser.
No malware.
No phishing.
Just bad security defaults.
Printers aren’t “dumb devices”.
They’re computers with ink.
⚠️ Why This Matters
Printers often have access to:
Internal IP ranges
Sensitive documents
Active Directory networks
Trusted VLANs
Once compromised, they become the perfect invisible attacker.
💬 Final Thought
The most dangerous devices on a network aren’t always the obvious ones.
Sometimes, the weakest link is the one nobody thinks about.
