How to Use Your Phone as a Webcam?

A quick search on Google Play throws up several webcam applications. We tried 5 of the top 10 results, but most didn’t work properly. From the ones that didn’t crash repeatedly, SmartCam failed to show the video, and DroidCam needs you to install an app on Windows to work.

IP Webcam is easily the best of the lot because it works through your browser, which gives it the cross-platform compatibility.

To set up a security camera on Android, follow these steps.

1. Connect your computer and the phone to the same Wi-Fi network.

2. Install the IP Webcam app on your smartphone.

3. Close all other camera apps. Force close them from the app switcher before you proceed.

4. Launch the IP Webcam app. Scroll to the bottom and tap Start server.

5. The app will now fire up your phone’s camera and display a URL. Our URL was http://172.32.15.110:8080.

6. Enter this URL in any browser on your computer and hit Enter.

7. In the browser, you’ll see a drop down menu next to Video renderer. Select Browser.

8. Below that, you’ll see Audio renderer. Select HTML wav.

Now you’ll see a live video feed in your browser. You can also record this footage via the browser. To do this, just press the red Record button under the video. This saves the footage as an MP4.There will be a slight lag if you enable HTML wav audio in the browser. You can select the Flash option (doesn’t work on all computers) or open the same URL in VLC Media Player.

9. To do this, first download and install VLC from this website. Then in VLC, go to Media > Network Stream and enter the URL from the app as seen in step 5.

Once the app is running, you don’t need to keep your phone’s screen on. It works even when the phone is locked, but the video feed is slightly smoother when the screen is on.

What is Pendrive Hacking ?

Windows allows the storage of the passwords, as do modern browsers. While this feature is convenient for users, it has imposed itself as a big security risk among organizations. We know that browsers store most passwords on daily basis, like MSN messenger, Yahoo, Facebook passwords, etc. Most people lack time and ask their browsers to save their passwords. As we know, there are many tools available to recover saved passwords, so in this article I will explain to you how to make a USB password stealer and steal saved passwords. Just to explain the concept, we are going to collect some password stealing tools, tools that are freely available on the internet and capable of stealing the passwords stored in the browsers or other windows files. Then, we create a batch program that will execute these combined programs and store the stolen usernames and passwords in a text file. To further spice up the penetration testing demonstration, we will also make this batch file execute as an...
