I think those cameras on the billboards are supposed to be public. It's probably so clients can confirm their ads are being shown.

To everyone saying he didn’t hide the IPs, it’s literally on the open internet

At 23:05 the German IP Webcam "Stützerbach - Blick vom Schlossberg" is most likely a "wether cam". So it's a webcam that's actually meant to be publicly accessible to check the weather status. Those are common in Germany and pretty neat if you think about going for a trip to some place but are unsure about the weather conditions.

This isn't only useful to cyber security experts, but also to show people why they shouldn't easily trust anything that connects to the internet, especially things with weak authentication, and even more so with none

At which point did we go from "i just wanna host a Buffy fansite" or "i just wanna share a couple tunes with buddies" to "anything you post publically is going to be relentlessly scraped, vulnerability scanned for profit, and used in the next LLM model whether you like it or not" ?

I once found a camera system on the Internet at someone's house in the middle of nowhere...and somehow ended up moving into the house about a decade later...

geoguessr guy needs to find them to email the people that their devices are open

[bugprove]

Isn't it reassuring that embedded products are generally mature and secure, without firmware vulnerabilities... Oh... Wait...

Fully expected John to be using Shodan lmao

If you're old enough, you remember "IP Cam trolling" because people were lazy with securing their networked devices. Such hijinks were a thing for a while on at least one of the Chans. The main "feature" allowing the troll was that the cameras had a speaker in addition to the mic, allowing the observer to disturb the observed in some manner. YouTube took videos about those down after some TOS change in the 2010's, even the ones that were more silly than malicious. (The ones I liked is where the guy bugging people eventually tells them to put a password on it at least. So the troll served a basic lesson in network security.) Despite all that, seems some things really never changed much. The "hack" is that things are still exposed to a lot of search engines depending on how the hosting works, so it's just a matter of knowing the keywords to bring them up.

This is incredibly worrying, but it's also important to show how much of your connections are available on the internet, and why securing those connections is so very necessary.
Today it's a demonstration, tomorrow it's a legitimate malicious agent.

I really like the fact that viewers can SEE the code (and terminal) that you discuss in your videos! I can always see your code clearly and thanks so much for doing this! Most content creators that I see on YouTube post their code in small size font where I can hardly see it.

Oh man....
The "S" in IOT stands for "Security"

0:06 that's a public webcam of the city of Stützerbach in Austria.

I haven't done this for years! I found a freaky lobby cam once that I never saw anyone enter or exit. It was like one of those creepy alternate world things people talk about. "An Empty World, A Time Traveler, Another Dimension" 🤣

I remember finding something similar back in like 08. There was a site that you could browse public IP's for various cameras in your geographic location. There was a map and you could increase or decrease the range. It was interesting some of the cameras you could access. A few of the colleges in the area were wide open.

I have never watched your channel before but I understand why you have 1.45 million subs, great booming voice coupled with some amazing oration skills added to some great video work, scripting and editing makes you really awesome at what you do.
Great video and thank you for the information.

23:00 Blick vom Schlossberg - View from the castle on the hill. (down to the village, somewhere in Thuringia, Germany)

[capability-snob]

Way to represent, Melbourne! First St Vinnies, then billboard monitoring.

[kabaduck]

There's a bunch of cameras that come out with open ports, there was a whole series of HIKvision cameras that are exposed if you only know the IP address in the correct port number
