Re: Webcams

You could maybe query WMI via vbs, perl, WMI, nessus, etc.

You could query the filesystem or registry for installed camera software.

query registery for usb devices.

If you knew what model of camera was being used, it would ne easier :)
, yea, i know...


FYI..
The nessus-users list would be a good place to ask.

Sometimes this list(pen-test) reacts differently to the 'I want to
search my network for stuff' questions.

Does anyone have a method for remotely detecting webcams installed on
Windows hosts? I have the need to conduct an audit to find out if
certain staff are using webcams. I may have administrative rights to the
targets remotely, but no physical, or console access.
Any input would be appreciated.
