So far we have found the open devices with the Shodan search engine. But the new tool allows everyone to search for open cameras by address on a map.

The tool outlines tangibly the insecurity we allow around us, and potentially everyone can use it to track our home or our child.

"You can look for cameras around the world and see if there is an open camera near you," said the security researcher who released the tool, which uses Woj-ciech as a nickname.

As Wojciech explains, the tool Kamerka combines many different pieces of code μαζί. Σε τελική , relies on the Shodan search engine to first find exposed cameras (those running the tool should have a Shodan account with an API).

It then uses Geopy, a Python library that facilitates geographical addressing, and cities. The final magic component is Folium, a Python library that handles map creation.

When a user adds the desired address, the tool returns a list of found devices and creates a map in HTML.

Open it in a browser. The file is interactive as it allows you to move around the selected area by clicking on the pointers to display the IP addresses of the cameras in the area.
