Kamerka: Surveillance cameras are a bit too eerie when you live in cities. Many of these cameras are connected to the Internet and may be deliberately or accidentally opened. Exposed devices can be anywhere, from businesses, to schools, or even in homes.
A new tool allows you to see where such cameras are located.
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 search for cameras around the world and check if there's an open camera near you," says the security researcher who released the tool, who uses as a nickname Woj-ciech.
As Wojciech explains, the tool Kamerka combines several different pieces of Python code together. Ultimately, it is based on Shodan's search engine to find the exposed cameras first (those who run the tool should have an 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 one user add the desired address, the tool returns a list of found devices and creates a map in HTML.
Open the file in one 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.
