Re: Funny said by Omega:said by hayabusa3303:what happens if you DONT have a printer hooked up then what? I don't think you understood the article. Printers on networks have IP addresses. The researchers were able to make it look like the IP addresses of the printers were participating in the bit torrenting of files. So a printer, with no networking capability, and plugged in using USB, has an IP? |
