wireless-cams are not so un-common anymore. they often include a webserver. find the ip address (by getting the management software from the vendor) and do a portscan :) Regards, Timo > -----Original Message----- > From: warchildat_private [mailto:warchildat_private] > Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 2:02 AM > To: vuln-devat_private > Subject: wireless security cameras revisited > > > Greetings, > > This is a follow up to the URL below (sorry, I don't have the original > email) -- > > http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/82/270492/2002-04-29/2 002-05-05/1 I know of at least one company/vendor deploying security camera "devices" that operate on their own private RFC1918 networks. Unfortunately, I have yet to physically see the device -- my only encounter(s) with it have been on "war rides" (riding on the train -- another play on "war dialing"), and at that, I can only assume it is a camera because of the following: -- its ssid is "camera2lotd" (camera number 2, in lot d) -- when I pass the device on the train, the train is passing a bunch of commuter pay parking lots in a shady part of town I don't know who owns these parking lots, or who manufactures these camera systems, so I have been unable to contact anyone else about this. Should the opportunity present itself, I'll investigate this particular location further to see what, exactly, this device is. The only clue I have so far is the MAC address from the camera which appears to originate from Agere based cards. My question is, does anyone happen to know of any camera installations that operate like this? For all I know, it could very well be a custom "solution" which includes a PC and a Logitech Quick-cam, but I don't think that is the case here. Thanks in advance, -jon (PS. Yes, this method of wireless investigation is rather interesting. You cover large areas of land quite quickly. In addition to the wireless devices of other people on the train, you get traffic from all sorts of interesting locations including CVS, City Hall (2 Cisco 340's), APs in the middle of the woods, large office complexes, and bizarre traffic in the middle of the train yard.)
