Israel Private Cameras Hacked: A Warning for Everyone

In the last 3 days, Israeli officials warned that **Iranian hackers** have broken into people’s home security cameras. They did this to **watch missile impact zones** and **sharpen their missile attacks** :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

🎯 What Happened?

  • Hackers guessed or stole default passwords and logged into cameras.
  • They watched live video to locate where missiles landed.
  • Experts told families to **turn off cameras or change passwords now** :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}.

🚨 Why It Matters to You

Even if you’re safe at home, attackers could invade your privacy. Anyone using a smart camera, like a doorbell cam, could be watched without knowing it. Hackers gain extra advantages when they’re in conflict with your country. This shows that **internet devices must be secured**.

📊 How the Attack Works (Visual)

The attack follows simple steps:

  1. Hackers find default or weak passwords.
  2. They log in without the owner's permission.
  3. They watch live video to spy.
  4. They collect info and use it for military or hacking strategies.

✅ What You Should Do Today

  • Change default passwords on all smart devices—use long, unique passwords.
  • Update firmware regularly to get security fixes.
  • Turn off cameras when not needed.
  • Use two-factor authentication (2FA) if your device supports it.

🧠 Lessons Learned

This case teaches us:

  1. Weak passwords are risky: If a hacker can guess it, they can invade privacy.
  2. Smart home devices are real targets: They’re not just toys, they can be used by spies.
  3. Security is a daily habit: Change passwords, update devices, and stay alert.

🔚 Final Thoughts

This recent camera hack in Israel shows that **no device is too small** for cyber threats. By following simple steps—strong passwords, updates, and turning off unused devices—you can protect your home and privacy from even the smartest hackers.

Exploiting Path Traversal Vulnerabilities: A Step-by-Step Guide Exploiting Path Traversal Vulnerabilities: A Step-by-Step Guide Introduction Path traversal is a common web vulnerability that allows attackers to access files outside the intended directory. In this guide, we'll explore how to exploit and prevent this vulnerability using a real-world example. The Challenge The challenge involves a Flask-based web server that serves files from the /challenge/files directory. The server is vulnerable to path traversal due to improper handling of user input in the URL path. Server Code #!/opt/pwn.college/python import flask import os app = flask.Flask(__name__) @app.route("/files", methods=["GET"]) @app.route("/files/ ", methods=["GET"]) def challenge(path="index.html"): requested_path = app.root_path + "/files/" + path ...
