Vulnerable Webcams Across the Globe Using Shodan: What You Need to Know About This Powerful Search E

Search engines index websites on the web so you can find them more efficiently, and the same is true for internet-connected devices. Shodan indexes devices like webcams, printers, and even industrial controls into one easy-to-search database, giving hackers access to vulnerable devices online across the globe. And you can search its database via its website or command-line library.

First, whether using the website or the command line, you need to log in to shodanhq.com in a web browser. Although you can use Shodan without logging in, Shodan restricts some of its capabilities to only logged-in users. For instance, you can only view one page of search results without logging in. And you can only see two pages of search results when logged in to a free account. As for the command line, you will need your API Key to perform some requests.

There are many ways to find webcams on Shodan. Usually, using the name of the webcam's manufacturer or webcam server is a good start. Shodan indexes the information in the banner, not the content, which means that if the manufacturer puts its name in the banner, you can search by it. If it doesn't, then the search will be fruitless.

Now that we know how to find webcams and potentially log in to them using default usernames and passwords, let's get more specific and try to find webcams in a specific geographical location. For example, if we were interested in webcams by the manufacturer WebcamXP in Australia, we could find them by typing webcamxp country:AU into the search box on Shodan's website.

I hope this short demonstration of the power Shodan gets your imagination stimulated for inventive ways you can find private webcams anywhere on the globe! If you're too impatient to hunt down webcams on Shodan, you can use a website like Insecam to view accessible webcams you can watch right now. For instance, you can view all the WebcamXP cameras that have pictures.
