How To Protect Wireless IP Cameras From Being Hacked

Published

April 15, 2017

Why are security cameras installed? Definitely to keep you protected! However, there are some cases when this caution and care of yours can simply backfire on you.

The first major case when the camera security issue was raised was presented by Insecam. It listed around 73000 open wireless cameras around the world, with the number excluding desktop cameras. The service claimed they wanted to show how vulnerable camera owners are in the face of their lack of tech knowledge and caution to be more attentive. This lack of privacy isn’t due to a hack or malware that users accidentally installed on the software. The reason is that a lot of people simply forget to change access details of the IP camera from default to a secure login and password.

The issue is that most security cameras use somewhat generic IP addresses for admin access. If that’s the case, the hacker just needs your username and password to hack into the camera, and since those are set to default, that’s easy as one, two, three!

The issue with wireless IP cameras and their security has been widely discussed in this article from The Independent, claiming that home security cameras are anything but secure. Claiming that a lot of people fail to protect their cameras, the article states: “Spare a thought, however, for the person who remains unaware, whose pants are currently visible on a live web feed, suffering in ignorance so that the rest of us benefit, and be thankful that it’s not you.”

As you may see, the danger of being watched in your most intimate moments is there, so if you feel like there’s a watching eye following you everywhere, you may want to change your camera’s default settings.

However, keeping a default password isn’t the only way to have your camera accessed by others. Hackers and malware are as close as ever, so it’s worth looking at a couple of steps to keep you secure.

Secure the Internet Network

Or, simply said, your home WiFi. You may be unaware of this, but with a wireless IP camera connected to your home network, anyone who has access to your WiFi password can easily get hold of your camera, too.

Make sure to:

Create a strong password that you will remember but one that won’t be “Andy 1990” if your name is Andy and you were born in 1990. You need a password that will protect you, yet one you will be able to remember.
Restrict the number of people you share this password with. Try to only share it with your family, and if you have to tell it to friends or acquaintances staying over, make sure you change the password frequently.

Change the default password of your camera

Cameras come with default settings and access keys, and while some people make sure to change those, others are less tech-savvy or simply lazier, so they will opt for having the default values in place. If you are one of these people, make sure you do the following:

Find the local IP address of you internet network you’re using.
Enter this address into the address bar in the web browser and login using your camera’s admin access. Most cameras will have a default login like “admin” with the same password, or something as easy as “123456789”.
Once logged in, go to the settings and change your password.

This way you won’t leave intruders much chance of getting hold of your camera.

3. Turn on WPA2 Encryption
For wireless cameras you should should only join WPA2-encrypted wireless networks so that wireless eavesdroppers don’t have a chance of accessing your data.

4. Change the password of your router

Everything works the same way here as in case of the camera: there is a default password that you may want to change if you don’t want to get into trouble.

If you have performed all of these actions, you should be pretty safe. However, in order to be at peace of mind, don’t put cameras in your most intimate places where you wouldn’t want to be seen. In the end, who needs a camera in the shower?

Many young people are fascinated to become a hacker. Most of them often end up here because either they want to sneak peak on someone’s personal computer and activities or to hack social media accounts. Both of them are immoral and illegal. But here is what you have to learn before starting your career as a successful hacker. Below mentioned steps are the building blocks of modern day hacking world.

Hacking Basics for Beginners

The basics of hacking

Every professional hacker started his journey like a rookie who knew nothing about hacking. Just like them you have to take one step at a time to reach higher level. So, before learning how to hack you have to start learning other things which are building blocks of internet. Few such things are Computer networks and ports, firewalls and other basic terms like IP, DNS and many more.

Linux, Kali and Ubuntu are also favorite things to learn in very beginning. You can try all of them to find out which ones suits you. Use of alternative operating system is required to analyze vulnerability and to exploit them.

Guru or a good book

You can never learn anything without a teacher. You can learn new things and implement them but not find the required end result as a rookie. That’s where you need a mentor, a fatherly figure to guide you. You can try hacker societies and groups to find like minded people who are pursuing same goal as you. They can teach you many things and fine tune you as a hacker.

You can also learn through books written by great programmers. Read beginner level books in start. Never try to jump ahead and always remember it is one step at a time.

Programming

“Can I become a hacker without knowing how to program”. I faced this question every day. The answer is yes. You can become a hacker without programming. This is possible because there is already ready made stuff available online. Hacker develops lots of tools and programs for beginners to perform tasks which are impossible for beginners in past. But one must have to learn programming to be a pro hacker. You can start with PHP HTML And JAVA and can add more languages with time.

Hacking Basics for Beginners

Last but not least I have to tell you that you can’t become an overnight success in hacking world at beginner level. It requires lot of time effort, hard work and problem solving mind to overcome difficulties faced by hackers. I knew few passionate people who learned basics and programming in just few months and saw many who are going nowhere with their skill level in years.

So the only way to success in hacking world is through hard work and passion. Just try to learn new things daily, implement them do mistakes and within a year you would successfully learn many things.

Hope you found right track and this article helped in one way or another. Don’t forget to comment. Share your experience with others.

Top 7 iOS First Person Shooters

Guest Post by Aly Chiman @ Alychidesigns

First person shooters on smartphones and tablets are one of the most popular and divisive areas of gaming. Therese quite a vocal crowd of gamers who argue that virtual thumbsticks cant replicate the accuracy of a gamepad or keyboard and mouse. Others argue that mobile devices are still a long way off from being close to their AAA console cousins.

Wherever you stand on the mobile FPS argument, there is no denying that iOS first person shooters can be an enjoyable way to waste away a few minutes of your spare time. They have come a long way since the first iPhone came out and offer a thrilling experience for gamers.
Without further ado, here, in no particular order, are the top 7 iOS first person shooters. Blast away!
(please note that we havent included any games which arent available on the App Store at the moment e.g. Bioshock, The Drowning)

1) Unkilled (Free)

In the latest Madfinger Games FPS, players play Joe, a member of the tough WOLFPACK, a zombie-killing security organisation designed to take out the undead threat before it threatens to topple civilisation and end life as we know it. Set it New York, the FPS feature a range of levels, including subways, docks and suburban areas.

There are an impressive number of guns to choose from and missions include protecting survivors, manning the gun on an armoured vehicle and taking down zombie bosses. There are optional raid missions letting you complete objectives such as killing hordes of zombies, collecting supplies or rescuing a survivor to gain additional cash and other rewards.

Graphically, this looks amazing. Even on the latest iPod Touch (6th generation), this is something very beautiful. Trees, buildings and vehicles are detailed. The sound effects add to the atmosphere (listen to the game on headphones!), too.

It is free to play, however, and you will need to be connected to the internet. The game is a single player affair and there is no offline option, either. Please bear in mind that there are timers and IAPs for in-game currency to help upgrade your arsenal (and you will need it upgrade it at times).
But these are minor drawbacks for one of the most entertaining first person shooters on iOS. Go get em!

2) Modern Combat 5: Blackout (Free)

Gamelofts Modern Combat series has been around for almost as long as the iPhone. Whereas Modern Combat: Sandstorm and its sequel Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus were very arcade-like FPS, Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation and Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour aimed to closely emulate its console equivalents.

The fifth entry continues this trend, with a cinematic globe-hopping single player campaign that takes you from Venice to Japan and further afield. The story is by and large a throwaway affair, with the usual predictable twists and turns. It looks and sounds amazing, taking full advantage of Apples Metal API to give the maximum oomph to its graphics. If you have a device with an A7 processor and upwards, you should give this a try.

Multiplayer is where Blackout shines, however. You can form a squad, play the usual multiplayer modes such as capture the flag and use voice chat. Gamepads are also supported. There are a wide variety of optional IAP packs to help customise your character and build your arsenal.
Like Unkilled, this requires an internet connection to play and also has timers.

3) Dead Effect (Free)

With Dead Effect 2 arriving on 22nd October, you should check out the first Dead Effect if you havent done so already.

Dead Effect puts you in the shoes of a member of Unit 13, waking from hibernation on the ESS Meridian. Something is very wrong as no-one is responding. You discover the crew is dead and the ship is crawling with the undead. Time to lock and load!

Graphically, this looks fantastic. There are a range of weapons to discover useful when encountering the hordes of zombies you will fight along the way. There is a survival mode to play around with for added rewards as well.

4) N.O.V.A. 3: Freedom Edition (Free)

N.O.V.A. 3: Freedom Edition is the free, ad-supported version of Gamelofts N.O.V.A. 3.
Playing as Kal Wardin, you return to Earth to help save humanity and stop a deadly threat. Taking place over ten large levels, the single player campaign is filled with the usual twists. Its admittedly pretty forgettable but doesnt get in the way of the game being a blast to play. Aside from looking amazing, its actually very fun. The takes inspiration from Halo, Crysis and other popular sci-fi shooters and ties them together in a neat little package.

There is also a multiplayer mode offering the usual capture the flag and other modes for up to 12 players at a time.

5) Neon Shadow (79p/$0.99)

Neon Shadow by Crescent Moon games is a great throwback to the days of Doom and Wolfenstein 3D. There is something very satisfying about shooting wave after wave of robots in narrow corridors. Lovers of retro-looking first person shooters should definitely consider downloading this.

6) Deus Ex: The Fall (£4.99/$6.99)

What is there to say about Deus Ex: The Fall that hasnt been said already?

Its won tons of awards, has a great story set in the Deus Ex universe with a new character (Ben Saxon, ex-SAS) and offers the same brilliant variety of gameplay as the Deus Ex games.
But its in your pocket, so you can experience the joy of Deus Ex anywhere you please. Bored in the boardroom? Whip this out and play. Stuck doing chores? Deus Ex it!

This mini AAA experience is well worth the premium price tag and you get hours of gameplay with Deus Ex: The Fall, no two games will be the same.

7) Bullet Rush (Free)

Bullet Rush is a multiplayer FPS in the style of Counter Strike. There are seven maps to choose from at the moment, with more set to be released as time goes on. You have a wide variety of weapons to play with and a range of modes to have fun with, including deathmatch and team based modes such as blue vs red.
