How to Hack into Someone’s Laptop Camera

September 12, 2018 by Connor Fairman Leave a Comment

Honestly this is something that I have wondered about for years now ever since the Lower Merion School District’s camera hacking controversy. Apparently it’s not that difficult to control someone’s camera after all. Step one is accidentally allowing someone to install Meterpreter on our computer, via an email attachment or something of the like. Through Meterpreter, the attacker gains access to our command shell aka our terminal. They can even run shell scripts on your computer through Meterpreter, which sends data back to the attacker in a way that doesn’t risk detection. Once meterpreter is installed, the attacker can list our devices’ cameras and access them via the command line. That simple.
