1.- IP / WiFi Cameras:
These cameras establish a connection to the internet or a local network via a wireless means. They are commonly employed in flats and buildings, although their usage extends beyond mere apartments, as they are the most prevalent type of camera.
Step 1: Establishing Proximity to the Wi-Fi Network
First and foremost, one must position oneself within range of the camera's Wi-Fi network to establish a connection. Should one wish to avoid physical proximity, a cunning strategy involves planting a Raspberry Pi in the vicinity and accessing it remotely from one's residence.
Subsequently, the following step entails obtaining the Wi-Fi password. At this juncture, we are presented with three options:
Step 2: Locating the Camera
Having successfully obtained the password, one must now identify the camera within the network. A plethora of tools exists for this purpose, with Netdiscover being a widely favoured choice. This process may require a degree of patience. Conversely, should fortune smile upon you, the device may be directly visible when examining connected devices.
Step 3: Access & Utilisation
Upon locating the camera, if it is password-protected, a complication arises. One must either resort to brute-forcing or endeavour to uncover an exploit within the camera software to gain entry. However, in the absence of a password, success is assured.
It is likely that even without a password, a form of access control will be present, potentially limiting one's ability to merely view the footage. This is contingent upon one's position within the network. In such an instance, one's objective becomes privilege escalation. Should this prove ineffective, the next most advantageous course of action involves hacking a privileged device within the same network. Rest assured, this task is not as daunting as it may appear, given that one is already present within the network.
2.- Ethernet Cameras:
These cameras connect to the network through an Ethernet cable. Hacking these proves to be an arduous task. Nevertheless, rest assured, for they are not as common in present times.
Hacking these cameras proves to be an exceedingly challenging feat. The primary obstacle lies in their direct wired connection, necessitating the hacking of the device to which they are connected. Should one succeed, access is granted; however, failure renders the task virtually impossible. One cannot simply approach and connect the cable to one's laptop without attracting undue attention. Methods exist for physically accessing these cameras (such as connecting one's own device), but they necessitate an on-site presence, and thus, they shall not be elaborated upon further. The procedure is already familiar to those in the know.
3.- Bluetooth Cameras:
These cameras are utilised for short-range connections, such as baby monitoring devices or compact indoor cameras. In the event that a password is required, one may resort to brute force; otherwise, it may be possible to simply connect and commence viewing without much difficulty.
This particular variety of camera is, in essence, the most straightforward to hack. One may employ brute force, BlueSnarfer, Bluebugging, BlueBorne, or any number of Bluetooth hacking techniques that are readily available.

Subsequently, the following step entails obtaining the Wi-Fi password. At this juncture, we are presented with three options:
- a) Employ a Wi-Fi adapter with Raspberry Pi (Costly yet straightforward): One may affix a Wi-Fi adapter to the Pi and utilise tools such as Aircrack-ng to decipher the Wi-Fi password. While somewhat expensive, this method ensures success with minimal complications.
- b) Social Engineering: This approach proves to be the most elementary, particularly in public settings such as restaurants. One need only take a seat, place an order, and inquire about the Wi-Fi password. Having previously planted the Raspberry Pi, one is fully prepared. Alternatively, one may bring a laptop and execute the hack directly within the restaurant, provided one is within range.
- c) Brute Force: This option should be regarded as a last resort. Should one's computer lack sufficient power and one's internet connection be less than optimal, it is advisable to refrain from this approach. However, if no alternative presents itself, numerous tools can be found online to facilitate the brute-forcing of the password.
