FBI Director: Cover up your webcam

Yes, but what if you were hypothetically turned on by the prospect of being watched through your webcam while you masturbate?

he's retarded.

>>56611197
Then you're a true patriot and a hero who is keeping the nation safe.

>>56611210
And this faggot >>56611197 isn't?

>>56611174
Taping your camera without disabling your microphone is useless.

>>56611197
I'm hypothetically with this guy

Still curious that more people don't do this after people's webcams were hacked in the past. Who even uses the fucking things most of the time?

>>56611197
Hypothetically, I enjoy sex with women

>>56611277
My girlfriend makes me leave my laptop on with webcam at all times or else she thinks I'm cheating

>>56611174
sorry, but if you're to stupid to run a decent firewall then you deserve to be irrationally paranoid.

The rest of us can continue to not worry.

>>56611426
>Decent firewall
What did he mean by this?

>>56611231
This, why hasn't anyone else noticed how fucking retarded this is? Even with Zuckerberg's laptop. Pretty sure putting tape over the mic holes isn't really gonna do shit.

>>56611467
it means take the security of your devices into your own hands instead of relying on a piece of tape to do it for you.

I disable my microphone and camera with Lenovo's hotkey function.
Is it still not enough? Apparently I tried to run camera apps, and it told me that they didn't found the camera.

>>56611174
Isn't this the same faggot that said
>Yeah, she was extremely careless with highly classified materials, but no reason to investigate further :^)

Nah, his opinion is invalid.

>>56611493
if someone has access to your system, what's stopping them from enabling the webcam?

>>56611426
Show me a firewall+ruleset that will 100% guaranteed prevent leakage of video feed, while still maintaining a usable experience. So no

:OUTPUT DROP

fuckery.

>>56611486
>You can't do both.
If you are using a device with an os that needs extra software for security you are retard.
This is why I stopped coming here.

>>56611526
S-so cover with silver tape is the only option?

>>56611538
except you're the fucking retard here.

there is no such thing as a perfect system. definitely not out of the box.

but take your memes and opinions and get the fuck out.

>>56611479
I wonder if it would be possible to put a switch between the mic and the mobo that cuts the audio signal completely

>>56611536
common sense 2016 gold edition.

now go take your big words you don't actually know the meaning of and fuck off.

Well I already covered up all my webcams and phones ages ago.

Tell me something I don't know :^)

Go back to your consumer electronics thread. I haven't been here in 6 months and now it's as bad as reddit.

>>56611231
Don't forget that speakers can be used as poor quality mics too

>>56611602
>he thinks he knows the first thing about paranoia

paranoia does not cease when you think you can't be spied upon - it ceases when you realise it doesn't matter

first day on 4chan, i suppose?

i find it interesting that people on 4chan love privacy but then creep on unsecured webcams and babycams on other boards/threads blox

>>56611695
Oh do you? Tell us more we're very interested in your banal observations.

>>56611695
Nothing interesting about realizing that you are not the only sick fuck out there, or even that the sickest of people form the government institutions.

>>56611538
>linux is impenetrable

What a dumb piece of shit you are

People on here seem to be forgetting that this guy can't do much about software because it's not his. The NSA have probably have a back door built in for blackmailing other government agencies.
>>56611695
They love their own security

>>56611736
Did he say anything about Linux you mentally ill faggot?

should i also cover up the cams on my smartphone?

>>56611174

>Having a webcam

>>56611736
>can't read

Go and play your games, girl.

Does this include phones?

>>56611791
No, smartphones aren't computers :^)

>>56611791
GSM is full of backdoors. They can eavesdrop your phone at any time.

>>56611742
solution: work for the NSA so you can't be spied on

>>56611350
I prefer men

>>56611965
i do

>>56611426
Shill. Get the fuck out.

I still need to find a decent way to cover up my phone's forward facing camera, considering it's in a charging dock facing my face all the time. Tape is shit for something you put in your pocket constantly, and I'm not going to not charge it or something.
At least I don't ever say anything, so I'm at least safe from most mic shit.

>>56611174
Or just disable it in BIOS/unplug internal USB cable and not look like a fucking autist

>>56612019
I wanted to put electrical tape over the opening in my phone case, but I don't want to do anything that draws attention

what you could do, is get a very small piece of clear, regular tape, and put it over the forward cam. Then take a sharpie, and make a dot just big enough to cover the camera, on top of the tape. Now you're covered, and you won't look like a fucking autist while you're at it.

>most autistic thing i ever heard

>>56611231
Not to mention if they have working speakers AND a microphone they have some advanced software that can essentially map the room based on the reflection of the sound off your walls.

It wont be SUPER accurate (unless you have a really qood quality mic or similar great acoustics in your room)

>>56611981
jive turkey

>>56612019
you know those yellow office sticky notes?
i just cut a circle out of the sticky part and use that.

>>56611174
I just dont have any camera or microphone attached to my computer.

>>56612320
Speakers or headphones can be turned into shitty quality microphones without you knowing.

Just sayin.

>>56612343
expand on this black magic

>>56611638
only dudebros with little or """"average""" willies are worried about anyone knowing what their dick looks like. anyone with a decent sized one is proud

>>56612352
It's not black magic, you can even do it yourself if you want.

Here is a guide to do it yourself with some old speakers.
http://www.instructables.com/id/turn-ANY-speaker-into-a-microphone-in-just-2-easy-/

They do the same basic shit but with software instead of physically splicing the speaker wire.


Pretty sure this can even be done with the super basic motherboard boot code speakers, or any sort of audio device.


Watched a video not long ago about an NSA contractor working on making printers, office phones, even something like a networked thermostat be able to listen to things nearby and transmit back what they hear through discreet channels.

>>56612352
It's all just a piezo electric piece connected to a cone. It's just that for one thing you send electricity to it, and the other you measure the electricity out of it.

>>56612352
what are you doing on /g/ for fucks sake?

>>56612431
how is it done with software?

Also anything can be a speaker really

>>56612658
>how is it done with software?

>>56612487
>for one thing you send electricity to it, and the other you measure the electricity out of it.

>>56611493
Disable from bios instead

>>56612076
>>56612299
Anything sticky will be shit for a phone though. It will come off because of constant friction, and then leave a residue.

>>56611479
am i the only person here who goes entire weeks without talking to anyone aside from cashiers / people who work in shops? if the fbi wanted to monitor my communications for some reason, a microphone wouldn't help them

>>56612902
Yeah same, I talk to my cat occasionally, but even that's just calling him a retard or something similar.

Unless its for work or i'm out purchasing something I generally don't speak.

Blatantly false. Taping your camera obviously blocks light, sure they can still hear you but it's better than being seen and heard.

Type what you want to say, shitstain. I'm not wasting my time on a 9 minute video.

Snowden and Assange covers their cams.. now this.. thats it,, I'm covering up.

Oh no, people will watch my lewd face when I masturbate!

the main reason I'm covering my cam is that I often pick my nose..

>>56615513
This not being in synced really annoys me.

>>56615513
Well I usually don't talk to myself when sitting at the computer, and I would prefer a hacker getting the sound of me fapping instead of the visual of it.

ditto that my brother

>>56611174
you should already be doing this, as well as disabling internal microphones.

I removed all 3 microphones and both cameras from my phone, if i make or recieve a call i use headphones with an inline mic, then unplug it when im done.

goddamn this board is retarded

>>56615924
you don't know me, who are you to say i don't /deserve/ targeted treatment?

>>56615924

industrial society is retarded.

You should remove the built in microphone too. That's much more of a security risk than the webcam.

>>56616010

I don't see why I should bother with the mic. I'm not in secred meetings. I basically play Grateful Dead all day..

>>56611174
Weve known this for decades

>>56615743
But you don't have to choose. You can cover your webcam AND cut off your microphone.

>using a laptop with built in mic/webcam

You asked for this.

>>56615513
>you can't turn the webcam on without turning the green light on
Holy shit that guy's a fucking moron.

God bless hardware switches on microphones, given a lot of IP telephony applications are proprietary and their exact behavior cannot be confirmed

>>56615513
>>56617091
Seriously, I felt my IQ dropping just listening to that dim-witted fuck in his recliner.
>you either need to be paranoid enough to tape over the webcam and take out the microphone, or do neither
Yes, because none of us use those devices for telco.
>the audio's more likely to fuck you up than video
What's more shocking/embarrassing: hearing someone talk privately or the sight of them beating their dick like it owes them money?

>>56611875
Gonna need you to relax a bit anon

>>56611174
I put translucent tape over my webcams so that the NSA can only see shadows of the nuclear centrifuges in my bedroom.

>>56611174
you can also just not install a web cam and remove the ones from laptops.
