This Python script is a proof of concept for exploiting default credentials in Megapixel IP Cameras. The code attempts to change a visual setting on the security camera by sending a network request using a provided list of IP addresses and ports and default credentials.

For those curious about it. The Cameras host a webui with password authentication to make changes. By reviewing the incoming and outgoing network/web requests using a tool like burp. You will see that the username and password are sent in the requests.

If you want to know what these default credentials are. I challenge you to take apart the code and see how it works, the credentials are there in the code......

If you don't want your time wasted the credentials that come default with mode of these models are listed below

admin

with no password (just leave that prompt blank)

1. First, ensure you have Python installed on your system.
2. Clone the repository to your local machine using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/BoomSec/Megapixel-IP-Camera-POC.git

3. Navigate to the cloned directory:

cd Megapixel-IP-Camera-POC

4. Find and confirm the IP address and Port of the camera's UI: you can find examples of these on shodan by searching for the following

'WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Megapixel_IP_Camera"'

5. Put together your list: From here you can make note of the ip address and port of the hosted web interface Then you can add it to a text file using the formatting 'ipv4:port' I have listed some examples below

1.1.1.1:11
8.8.8.8:88
69.69.69.69:420 *heheheh nice*

After making your list dont forget to save the progress on the text file Also be sure to make a note of the text file name so you don't forget it. We are going to need this later

5. Run the script: Now the moment we have been all waiting for H4CkerMan Time™ Time to run the script. You can do this by calling the script with the name of your text file containing the ip address/addresses

See my first attempt below. Where I run the code and point it at my list of victims I mean personally owned network based security cameras. That you have explicit access or permission to use

python CameraExploit.py TargetCameras.txt

If you have discovered a repository URL displayed on your camera, it is possible that your camera may be vulnerable. This could be due to default credentials being used or other security vulnerabilities.

If you have found this repository from a link displayed on your camera and are concerned about the security of your device, we advise the following steps:

1. Immediate Action:
   • Disconnect the camera from the network to prevent unauthorized access.
   • If possible, change the default credentials or passwords associated with the camera.

2 Review the Documentation:

• Refer to the user manual or documentation for your camera model to find instructions on securing and updating its settings.

3. Contact the Manufacturer:

   • Reach out to the manufacturer or vendor of the camera for guidance on securing your device and addressing potential vulnerabilities.

4. Stay Informed:

   • Regularly check for firmware updates and security advisories for your camera model.

It is crucial to ensure the security of your devices, especially those with network connectivity. We strongly emphasize the importance of securing your devices to prevent unauthorized access and unauthorized use.

If you have any concerns or questions, please seek guidance from qualified professionals or security experts.

The web interface designed for the Megapixel IP Camera is in response to McBazza's suggestion in Issue #1

Please note that due to the web page making requests to HTTP addresses while being hosted on a HTTPS site, hosting the web interface on github.io has resulted in a multitude of errors. As a result, I am currently unable to host the page on github.io so you will unfortunately have to byo hosting system.

For me I have tested and put the files on a Raspberry Pi I have that is hosting pi-hole at the moment, so if you have one handy its a perfect candidate to host locally :D

This script is intended for educational and proof of concept purposes only. It is crucial to emphasize that accessing security cameras without proper authorization is illegal and unethical. The use of this code to exploit security cameras that do not belong to you is strictly prohibited and may result in legal consequences.

By using this code, you agree that you will only use it in controlled environments, such as on devices and security cameras that you own or have explicit permission to test.

The author of this script is not responsible for any misuse or unlawful use of this code.
