Would you like a webcam in your bedrooms and bathrooms broadcasting live?!! Update 23/03/2012 Thanks to @TechLOG to pointing me to this article by InfoseI’sland ‘Wireless Security: Wi-Fi Hacking Burglars Get Busted This is one example of burglary in Seattle using non sophisticated materials to hack into network Wi-Fi of ‘over a dozen businesses along with 41 burglaries’. Should companies such as TrendNet take their customer’s security more seriously, especially when they are selling security devices? They are alleged to have stolen at least $750,000 in funds, computer equipment and other items. No, this is not the Big Brother program, these are not actors, just normal people wanting to be ‘secure’.
I can imagine the commercial argument of vendors explaining how wonderfully the tiny little camera could help them keep an eye on their lovely little baby, giving out the statistics about the number of babies dying from apnea blah blah blah…. Yes, apnea is a serious issue and I should not undermine its importance. Here is the BBC report! What do you think you would do? Trendnet Cameras - I always feel like somebody's watching me. Firstly this post requires the following song to be playing. Now that we got that out of the way... I have been seeing posts on sites with people having fun with embedded systems/devices and I was feeling left out. I didn't really want to go out and buy a device so I looked at what was laying around. To start off the latest firmware for this device can be found at the following location : First order of business was to update the camera with the most recent firmware: Now that the device was using the same version of firmware as I was going to dive into, lets get to work.
I will be using binwalk to fingerprint file headers that exist inside the firmware file. Running binwalk against the firmware file Looks like there are two gzip files in the "pck" file. #dd if=FW_TV-IP110W_1.1.0-104_20110325_r1006.pck of=1_unk bs=1 count=3232032320+0 records in32320+0 records out32320 bytes (32 kB) copied, 0.167867 s, 193 kB/s Next cut out the first gzip file that was identified, we will call this file '2' Trendnet security cam flaw exposes video feeds on net. 7 February 2012Last updated at 11:55 ET By Leo Kelion Technology reporter One user uploaded a montage of what he said were Trendnet feeds to alert the media to the problem Feeds from thousands of Trendnet home security cameras have been breached, allowing any web user to access live footage without needing a password. Internet addresses which link to the video streams have been posted to a variety of popular messageboard sites. Users have expressed concern after finding they could view children's bedrooms, among other locations.
US-based Trendnet says it is in the process of releasing updates to correct a coding error introduced in 2010. It said it had emailed customers who had registered affected devices to alert them to the problem. However, a spokesman told the BBC that "roughly 5%" of purchasers had registered their cameras and it had not yet issued a formal media release - despite being aware of the problem for more than three weeks.

Trendnet IP webcams open to remote spying, researcher finds. Users of Trendnet home surveillance cameras have been warned about a serious security hole that makes it possible for Internet users to view their private video feeds in real time. The alert was first discovered a month ago by the owner of the TV-IP110w wireless IP security camera, who noticed while exploring the camera’s firmware that it was possible to access its video feed by entering its IP address with a pointer to a normally hidden sub-directory. This turned out to be true even when the camera was set up with password access enabled. Disturbingly, the researcher was able to use the same routine to turn up almost 10,000 possible Internet-connected cameras running the same firmware by querying the port-scanning search engine, Shodan. Using Shodan with an automated Python script to search for vulnerable feeds turned up 350 cameras.
IP cameras make attractive targets for hacking because they are designed to be accessed across the Internet. Coding Error Turns Trendnet Safety Cams Into Spy Cams.

The Threat Is Real The Console Cowboys post offers detailed instructions for finding and hacking Trendnet cameras.
Just to confirm that the threat is real, I followed the instructions. Four sites simply returned "404 not found," but the other two gave me access to live video feed from webcams.

Network hardware maker TrendNet has come up with a novel take on web surveillance with its TV-M7 digital photo display. While we can see this being used in a benign way to keep an eye on baby while you prepare his tea, for instance, the idea of a hidden camera disguised in this way will not sit well with some consumers. TrendNet is describing the TV-M7 as the "first-to-market wireless internet camera and photo monitor".
The 7in photo frame has an internal memory of 512MB and can be used to display photos and video and to play MP3 music files. With an onscreen resolution of 16,384x16,384, the TV-M7 can display either Jpeg or bitmap images and can be used to show libraries of photos stored as Flickr or Picasa web albums.
