Our printer just spontaneously printed out two sheets of paper.
The first had this on it: "ö☺<de=♠IEEEMlsqlexec♠9.280"
And the second sheet had this on it: "RDS\#R000000♣sqli☺3☺♣nmap♣nmapol=tlitcp☺h"
Can anyone help me figure out what this might indicate?
Consider the possibility that some box on your network has been compromised, and has some outside user logged into it (or some script running) that is running nmap. As I understand it, this is one of the first things a hacker does, to get an idea of the other machines and services in the subnet he's just penetrated.
Like a previous poster, I too run nmap periodically and have to specifically exclude HP printers, because nmap makes them waste dozens of pages of gibberish.
Our printer just spontaneously printed two strings...
