How difficult the Home camera will be attacked

The specific performance of the attack is generally more hijacking. Take the example of using your camera to see children. It can be seen not only by you but also by hackers. And hackers can know when you are home and what your family is like. Not only that, hackers can also control the rotation of the camera, you just want to see children, but people always want to see what your family has valuable things or your home layout. You don't need to help him turn the camera, hackers can do it

What else can you do? For example, in my original record of GeekPwn's article, help me divert the guard described in a movie plot:"Big cat, I need to get through the front corner to help me fix the camera." The two dogs in leotards asked their teammates through the headset at a corner. "Come on, we're not going to have time!"

"No problem, no problem, no problem." The big cat stared at the wall full of computer screens, and tapped the computer keyboard in front of it. "OK, the camera screen in front of you is locked, and after 10 seconds in the other direction The camera will issue an alert to help you open the guard and get ready.”

"Drops, drops." The camera on the right channel seemed to be on the alert. The guards took the gun and walked cautiously toward it. Behind him, a dark shadow flashed quickly. "Enter the goal." The two dogs with a triumphant smile.

Responsibly speaking, this is not only a movie, but it can be achieved in reality and it has already been achieved.

At the 10.24 GeekPwn2015 contest, one of the long kiosk entries was the challenge of cracking seven smart cameras. These smart cameras are basically mainstream brands in the camera market, so you see, your concern is not redundant

What should we do in the face of these problems? The use of some devices requires compliance with safety regulations to avoid safety issues. However, the security technology team of Long Pavilion Technology Research found that there are some camera security issues, including the problems involved in the cracked seven smart cameras that require vendors to perform repair and upgrade. So if you have to use a camera, first of all to follow the safety of the use of norms, such as not to expose the camera's ip on the public network, try to be behind the router's NAT and the like; second, pay attention to the timely upgrade firmware.

At present, many manufacturers of related smart devices have also found us and hope that everyone can work together to make these smart devices more secure. So, overall, with the joint efforts of well-qualified security researchers and manufacturers, home cameras will become more and more secure.
