Owning a Wireless Camera, Its User and Its Network

Posted by Zonk on from the is-that-owning-or-pwning dept.

twistedmoney99 writes "InformIT has posted a two part article by Seth Fogie that describes how a wireless IP camera can be owned and abused. The first part describes how the camera's feed can be sniffed, replaced, or even DoSed off the air by a PDA. The second part then takes a look at the web application interface of the camera (an Axis207W) and exposes numerous vulnerabilities that lead to exposed passwords, a software based DoS, global XSS — and the kicker — a CRSF attack through which an attacker can remotely penetrate the network it is installed on."

    I wonder how many people are going to see this and immediately think about that hot girl that lives upstairs?

    I can't say I've ever owned a wireless camera or its user.

    On Slashdot, that "hot girl that lives upstairs" is probably going to be their mother... Hell, the best interpretation is that it's their sister.
