french_disko Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Anyone tried this? It's when you search Google to try & take control of cameras. for example, entering intitle:" Home" "Xerox Corporation" "Refresh Status" then you can get a list of Xerox printers available to take control of. Had a wee bit of a laugh earlier sending test prints to random printers in the USA and Sweden. inurl:"axis-cgi/mjfp" gives a list of webcams.

threeornothing Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Google hacking isn't what it used to be. When it was first discovered people were able to search for access files which contained user names and passwords to protect important websites....faves being filetype:mdb inurl:*.gov .... Obviously everyone wised up to this and moved to a more secure SQL server setup, but you still find the odd access table through google like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 despite the times article saying that "this is not hacking in the murky criminal sense" I would warn people that it actually is. asa point of interest it's amazing what you can find on goole but if you actually use some of those techniques, even just to fuck around with a photocopier, you will likely be breaking the Computer Misuse Act.The 3 offences which fall under this act are: Unauthorised access to computer material Unauthorised access with intent to commit or facilitate commission of further offences Unauthorised modification of computer material.http://safety.ngfl.gov.uk/ukonline/document.php3?D=d10Just so you know. By all means go to http://johnny.ihackstuff.com and try some of the searches. It's amazing what you can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeid Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 i tried it, how cool is it playing around with some of those cameras in other parts of the world! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripey Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Yeah you may not have heard of this case:http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/10/11/tsunami_hacker_followup/so watch yourself, eh. When you fuck with peoples printers and networked cameras and other such things, logs are created, and you can end up in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Denim.. Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 It's easy enough to put false links into forums (such as this one) that can run programs on someone elses PC. ie. To run their 'calculator' program or something. It's easy to work out how to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
