I hesitate to point this out, but quite a lot of fax machines come with a microphone.
(And, noting the prevalence of articles from a few years ago talking about "update your fax machine firmware", I suspect you could fuzz their telco line-parser for very interesting results!)
- lvh 7y agoGood point--you're talking about the embedded handset or something else? That said, as you hint at: not quite the same thing from a threat model perspective :)
- floatingatoll 7y agoIndeed! That depends entirely on whether the handset is physically disconnected by the on-hook switch, or if a firmware exploit could remotely enable it. Threat modeling a fax machine in the era of fuzzing-RCEs is a particularly interesting thing to consider.
