Docker Image for Cameradar

Install docker on your machine, and run the following command:

docker run -t ullaakut/cameradar -t <target> <other command-line options>

See command-line options.

e.g.: docker run -t ullaakut/cameradar -t 192.168.100.0/24 -l will scan the ports 554 and 8554 of hosts on the 192.168.100.0/24 subnetwork and attack the discovered RTSP streams and will output debug logs.

YOUR_TARGET can be a subnet (e.g.: 172.16.100.0/24 ), an IP (e.g.: 172.16.100.10 ), or a range of IPs (e.g.: 172.16.100.10-20 ).

can be a subnet (e.g.: ), an IP (e.g.: ), or a range of IPs (e.g.: ). If you want to get the precise results of the nmap scan in the form of an XML file, you can add -v /your/path:/tmp/cameradar_scan.xml to the docker run command, before ullaakut/cameradar .

to the docker run command, before . If you use the -r and -c options to specify your custom dictionaries, make sure to also use a volume to add them to the docker container. Example: docker run -t -v /path/to/dictionaries/:/tmp/ ullaakut/cameradar -r /tmp/myroutes -c /tmp/mycredentials.json -t mytarget

Installing the binary on your machine

Only use this solution if for some reason using docker is not an option for you or if you want to locally build Cameradar on your machine.

Library

Dependencies of the library

curl-dev / libcurl (depending on your OS)

/ (depending on your OS) nmap

github.com/pkg/errors

gopkg.in/go-playground/validator.v9

github.com/andelf/go-curl

Installing the library

go get github.com/Ullaakut/cameradar

After this command, the cameradar library is ready to use. Its source will be in:

$GOPATH/src/pkg/github.com/Ullaakut/cameradar

You can use go get -u to update the package.

Here is an overview of the exposed functions of this library:

Discovery

You can use the cameradar library for simple discovery purposes if you don’t need to access the cameras but just to be aware of their existence.

This describes the nmap time presets. You can pass a value between 1 and 5 as described in this table, to the NmapRun function.

Attack

If you already know which hosts and ports you want to attack, you can also skip the discovery part and use directly the attack functions. The attack functions also take a timeout value as a parameter.

Data models

Here are the different data models useful to use the exposed functions of the cameradar library.

Dictionary loaders

The cameradar library also provides two functions that take file paths as inputs and return the appropriate data models filled.

Configuration

The RTSP port used for most cameras is 554, so you should probably specify 554 as one of the ports you scan. Not specifying any ports to the cameradar application will scan the 554 and 8554 ports.

docker run -t --net=host ullaakut/cameradar -p "18554,19000-19010" -t localhost will scan the ports 18554, and the range of ports between 19000 and 19010 on localhost.

You can use your own files for the ids and routes dictionaries used to attack the cameras, but the Cameradar repository already gives you a good base that works with most cameras, in the /dictionaries folder.

docker run -t -v /my/folder/with/dictionaries:/tmp/dictionaries ullaakut/cameradar -r "/tmp/dictionaries/my_routes" -c "/tmp/dictionaries/my_credentials.json" -t 172.19.124.0/24

This will put the contents of your folder containing dictionaries in the docker image and will use it for the dictionary attack instead of the default dictionaries provided in the cameradar repo.

Check camera access

If you have VLC Media Player, you should be able to use the GUI or the command-line to connect to the RTSP stream using this format : rtsp://username:[email protected]:port/route

With the above result, the RTSP URL would be rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/live.sdp

Format input file

The file can contain IPs, hostnames, IP ranges and subnetwork, separated by newlines. Example:

0.0.0.0 localhost 192.17.0.0/16 192.168.1.140-255 192.168.2-3.0-255

Environment Variables

CAMERADAR_TARGET

This variable is mandatory and specifies the target that cameradar should scan and attempt to access RTSP streams on.

Examples:

172.16.100.0/24

192.168.1.1

localhost

192.168.1.140-255

192.168.2-3.0-255

CAMERADAR_PORTS

This variable is optional and allows you to specify the ports on which to run the scans.

Default value: 554,8554

It is recommended not to change these except if you are certain that cameras have been configured to stream RTSP over a different port. 99.9% of cameras are streaming on these ports.

CAMERADAR_NMAP_OUTPUT_FILE

This variable is optional and allows you to specify on which file nmap will write its output.

Default value: /tmp/cameradar_scan.xml

This can be useful only if you want to read the files yourself, if you don’t want it to write in your /tmp folder, or if you want to use only the RunNmap function in cameradar, and do its parsing manually.

CAMERADAR_CUSTOM_ROUTES , CAMERADAR_CUSTOM_CREDENTIALS

These variables are optional, allowing to replace the default dictionaries with custom ones, for the dictionary attack.

Default values: <CAMERADAR_GOPATH>/dictionaries/routes and <CAMERADAR_GOPATH>/dictionaries/credentials.json

CAMERADAR_SPEED

This optional variable allows you to set custom nmap discovery presets to improve speed or accuracy. It’s recommended to lower it if you are attempting to scan an unstable and slow network, or to increase it if on a very performant and reliable network. See this for more info on the nmap timing templates.

Default value: 4

CAMERADAR_TIMEOUT

This optional variable allows you to set custom timeout value in miliseconds after which an attack attempt without an answer should give up. It’s recommended to increase it when attempting to scan unstable and slow networks or to decrease it on very performant and reliable networks.

Default value: 2000

CAMERADAR_LOGS

This optional variable allows you to enable a more verbose output to have more information about what is going on.

It will output nmap results, cURL requests, etc.

Default: false

Frequently Asked Questions

Cameradar does not detect any camera!

That means that either your cameras are not streaming in RTSP or that they are not on the target you are scanning. In most cases, CCTV cameras will be on a private subnetwork, isolated from the internet. Use the -t option to specify your target.

Cameradar detects my cameras, but does not manage to access them at all!

Maybe your cameras have been configured and the credentials / URL have been changed. Cameradar only guesses using default constructor values if a custom dictionary is not provided. You can use your own dictionaries in which you just have to add your credentials and RTSP routes. To do that, see how the configuration works. Also, maybe your camera’s credentials are not yet known, in which case if you find them it would be very nice to add them to the Cameradar dictionaries to help other people in the future.

What happened to the C++ version?

You can still find it under the 1.1.4 tag on this repo, however it was less performant and stable than the current version written in Golang.

How to use the Cameradar library for my own project?

See the example in /cameradar . You just need to run go get github.com/Ullaakut/cameradar and to use the cmrdr package in your code. You can find the documentation on godoc.

I want to scan my own localhost for some reason and it does not work! What’s going on?

Use the --net=host flag when launching the cameradar image, or use the binary by running go run cameradar/cameradar.go or installing it

I don’t see a colored output 🙁

You forgot the -t flag before ullaakut/cameradar in your command-line. This tells docker to allocate a pseudo-tty for cameradar, which makes it able to use colors.

I don’t have a camera but I’d like to try Cameradar!

Simply run docker run -p 8554:8554 -e RTSP_USERNAME=admin -e RTSP_PASSWORD=12345 -e RTSP_PORT=8554 ullaakut/rtspatt and then run cameradar and it should guess that the username is admin and the password is 12345. You can try this with any default constructor credentials (they can be found here)

Examples

Running cameradar on your own machine to scan for default ports

docker run --net=host -t ullaakut/cameradar -t localhost

Running cameradar with an input file, logs enabled on port 8554

docker run -v /tmp:/tmp --net=host -t ullaakut/cameradar -t /tmp/test.txt -p 8554 -l
