Web cam or webcam (web
camera) is a live and real-time
camera whose images can be
accessed using the World Wide
Web, instant messaging, or a PC
video calling or video
conferencing application.
Webcam is increasingly used as
web surveillance cams to
monitor security, traffic beach,
office, and other sensitive
areas. Some of these webcams
or networked cameras have
Web interfaces that allows
owners to view the image or
video captured via Internet,
and even direct the cameras’
motorized pan-and-tilt or zoom
mechanisms. However, by using
simple Google Search queries,
any user that has Internet can
logon, access and watch
thousands of unprotected
surveillance cameras and
webcams around the world.
Watch the following featured
news video clip from Fox News,
on how people can hack into
top secret Internet security
cameras.
So the trick to find and search
for open unprotected Internet
webcams that broadcast to the
web, is by using the following
query:
inurl:/view.shtml
or
intitle:”Live View / – AXIS” |
inurl:view/view.shtml^
And Google will sniffs out
network cameras that have
Web interfaces and the URL or
link location to the viewers
that have been indexed by
Google. With this hack and trick,
video surfers can peek into
videos or intermittently
capture images showing places
and scenes such as office,
restaurant interiors, a
Japanese barnyard, women
doing laundry, the interior of
an Internet collocation facility,
government project sites,
animals, parks, streets,
Internet cafes, casinos, private
rooms, and a cage full of
rodents, among other things, in
locales and locations scattered
around the world.
The above query will reveal IP
network web cameras that
able to transmit live footage or
individual images across the
Internet from Axis
Communications. If you know
the unique pattern of URL or
link, or title pattern that other
manufacturers ’ webcams’ or IP
network cameras’ software
used, you can also easily locate
and crack those unprotected
that are released or leaked to
the public Internet insecure
cameras or webcams by using
Google. Some of the example as
below. However, contrary to
popular believe, most of these
webcams found by this trick is
naturally meant for public
viewing, and normally linked
from a public website. Those
private webcams attached to
PC or used at the living room
or bedroom or bathroom are
normally won ’t be able to find
unless the owners purposely let
Google crawl the link.
