The search string is a specific Google hacking query, often called a "Google dork." Security researchers, penetration testers, and malicious actors use this exact string to find unsecured, publicly accessible network cameras on the internet.
This query finds that are not password-protected or have misconfigured security. For example, if the camera's IP address is 192
The Axis security landscape includes other notable vulnerabilities as well:
If feasible, notify the camera owner of the exposure. This is challenging when cameras lack contact information, but some researchers choose to leave benign notifications in the camera’s comment field or contact the network’s ISP. If you share with third parties, their policies apply
Periodically test your own cameras using the very dorks described in this article. Enter intitle:“Live View / - AXIS” inurl:view/view.shtml into Google and see if any of your devices appear in the results. If they do, immediate remediation is required. Also consider using Shodan, the IoT search engine, to check for exposure of Axis.Remoting services on your networks.
Never leave an IoT device on its default settings. Upon initial setup, create a unique, complex password for all administrative accounts. If the device supports it, restrict access further by enabling Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Disable UPnP and Restrict Port Forwarding
Check your network router settings and completely disable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). If remote access to the camera is required, never expose the raw HTTP/HTTPS ports directly to the internet. Instead, route all external access through a secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) or an encrypted reverse proxy. 2. Implement Strong Authentication
