I was looking into the idea of port spoofing, and I came across this GitHub repository. I'm mainly looking to disguise my computer as something else, whereas this program opens every TCP port and emulates a service on it. Could I use something similar to say, only emulate a printer service?

    Yes, just pull out the code from the repo and create your own script.

"Is it possible to...?" should prompt the inverse question "What is stopping me from ...?"

And in this case: Nothing.

You can set up your system to accept a TCP handshake on every port and perform some sort of printing service, without actually printing anything.

Tools like nmap can't tell whether or not there is really anything printing - only that the program behind acts like printing service.

  • Thank you for clarifying. Is there a method of setting this up you would recommend? I've tried searching for something to work like this but kept ending back to that same repository.
