In our case, the local distribution frame box, where the internet-telephone cables terminate, was in front of my friend's house and unlocked. It doesn’t do much if you have top quality security “software-wise”, but the physical devices you are trying to secure are not themselves placed somewhere safe. Physical Security Attack Physical security describes security measures that are designed to deny unauthorized access to facilities, equipment and resources and to protect personnel and property from damage or harm (such as espionage, theft, or terrorist attacks).
When using wireless communication we should always keep in mind that the medium is air and air is accessible to all (thus more “hackable”). It is also important to point out, that if the IP camera had a wired connection and not a wireless one, this attack would not be possible.
That wouldn't be the case of course if the camera app was programmed to periodically check the connection with the router/device and report a lost connection by sending an email to the user for example. Otherwise, you can use a more wide attack with the code below.ĭeauthenticating all clients in a specific network aireplay-ng -deauth -a Ex: aireplay-ng -deauth 1000 -a 11:22:33:44:55:66 mon0

You can also try to speculate which is the AP’s MAC address by the name of the SSID. You can possibly find the MAC address of the IP camera if you know the device’s brand since the first 6-digits of a MAC address identify the manufacturer ( ).

Instead, during the attack the video feedback of the IP camera app was frozen and no notifications were sent when we triggered the sensors with motion and sound.īelow is the code I used for this simple attack (for a more detailed analysis on how to perform a deauthentication attack there is a great article on Hacker Noon):ĭeauthenticating specifically the IP camera (only one client) aireplay-ng -deauth -a -c Įx: aireplay-ng -deauth 1000 -a 11:22:33:44:55:66 -c 00:AA:11:22:33:44 mon0 The camera would on normal occasions detect movement and/or noise and notify the user with an email if something was detected.
Having said that, it was possible to disconnect the IP camera from the access point it was connected to ( without having the AP password, as I mentioned earlier, since there wasn’t even the need to connect to the network), making it useless.

The Deauthentication Attack falls under the category of pre-connection attacks, meaning you can disconnect any device from any network before connecting to any of these networks and therefore without the need to know the password for the network. Sequence diagram for a WiFi deauthentication attack
