Exploiting Vulnerabilities of IP Cameras: Lebanon Case Study

As applications and devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) increasingly grow, the protection and privacy of IoT devices has been a significant issue. In addition, in many cases there are no security protocols for the defense of these devices that can be a best place for the attacker to take advance of these vulnerabilities which can cause many damage in the level of availability, integrity and privacy of the users in many types of IoT devices. For control and connectivity to their computers, users of IoT devices use the internet. The usage of IoT technology has massively grown over time. Some statistic show that in the end of 2021 the number of these devices can reached 50 billions, we are constantly and unwittingly collecting our sensitive data via IoT devices. In this paper, we present a case study about the IP cameras used in Lebanon and the most vulnerabilities that affect such devices.
