hey, remember nearly 2 years ago when some dudes started writing about searching for unsecured webcams using a basic query on elgoog? a little while later, a whole site emerged to this pathetic voyeuristic hobby over at opentopia’s hidden cams site…but the problem i have with opentopia is that they don’t explain how to do it yourself, instead they just say, “These webcams were found automatically through a variety of clever search techniques“…clever my ass.

so a coupla things: first, i hate this bullshit when people won’t just say, ‘here’s what i typed in to get these to show up‘ and force me to go unearth it myself and 3) what are the implications for intelligence gathering? this is some scary shit dudes (and dudettes) - each camera represents an IP address, and using one of many free online IP lookup utilities (use your own fingers people, though i prefer domaintools) i might quickly figure out exactly where the broadcast is coming from (parking lots, security cameras, homes, beaches, these cams run the gamut), and what corporation is behind the imagery…ouch.

…oh, so back to that query…it was discussed in detail at graffe, and here’s the skinny: just go to elgoog, and type in inurl:”ViewerFrame?Mode=” and up comes a long list, hundreds of unsecured webcams (or if you’re a lazy shit, then let me do it for you)..to really make your browsing efficient, i strongly suggest that you install the googlepreview firefox extension, lest you should find yourself clicking and loading as much crap as i did in the first go-around…

…and of course, if you’re interested in revisiting (as i did) the amazing amount of crap you can dig up with elgoog (from vulnerable servers to files containing passwords), then stop on by johnny lang’s web site…he got a great writeup by networkworld last year, certainly worth a quick read as well, because if you’re reading this right now then you are obviously not working, right?
