Why are there webcams in modern laptops anyway? Their quality is straight dogshit, something back from 90's. Seems like a waste of space.

>>61150816
I mean, smartphone cams are able to record in 4K nowadays, why the fuck can't the laptop ones?

>>61150799
That laptop does have a camera next to the dell logo

Honestly, though, who cares? What are you going to be doing at work that's so important that someone taking a video of you makes you uncomfortable. Like if someone wanted to take a video of me sitting and pen pushing for eight hours out of the day I wouldn't give a shit, they're the ones wasting their time.

Obviously, there's exceptions to this like if you have sensitive documentation on or around your desk/workspace that a observer could use maliciously, but most of the time this wouldn't really be an issue as you shouldn't have these things sitting around anyway.

That being said, I have minimal experience in an office environment so what do I know. At home is a different matter, but even then it does seem a bit crazy unless you're trying to protect your children or you have people who would like to maliciously gather information on you. Otherwise, why would anyone want to document your boring ass lifestyle?

Somebody explain this seemingly pointless paranoia to me, please.

>>61150830
Because your phone costs as much as (or more than) your laptop, which means you’re purchasing an incredibly low-end laptop with the low-end parts that come with it.

Phone cameras are built for different purposes than laptop cameras. Nobody needs 1080p for Facetime or Skype - they’re simply for ease of communication. My MBP camera does incredible video. It’s 720p, but it’s incredibly clear and crisp.

You do need high resolution when you’re taking landscape photos or portraits, which is why phone cameras are continually being upgraded in every new phone release.

who cares what normies think of anyway

>>61150769
And you were dropped on your head once you were born

privacy is a important issue at a large scale but if you think that you'd being spied on personally you're narccisistic retard, nobody cares enough to watch you jerking off on your webcam, and even if they did, what do you stand to lose?

Holy fuck, it's the first time I'm reading about this. Why would anyone think spying on kids would be a good idea? Who's more delusional in this case: the person who decides to take his privacy in his own hands or a faggot who, for some psychopatic reason, feels like intrusion like that is totally justified.

>>61151094
The chances of a script kiddie who doesn't know you who can use an NSA backdoor randomly watching you then doxing you and sharing something with people you work with are lower than the chances of you being struck by lightning

>>61151112
Yeah, sure. As low as the chances of some script kiddie groups getting their hands on weaponized NSA exploits to cause at least two global cyberattacks causing shit ton of damage in a month... Oh wait.

>>61151125
no, the chances of script kiddies getting their hands on NSA backdoors are 100%, the chances of them targetting YOU specifically (unless you've pissed someone off) are extremely low, if you think random hackers are out to get you you're a paranoid delusional

>>61151125
Eternalblue is a CIA exploit, not an NSA one.
It was released in the shadowbrokers stuff.

>>61151099
The parents and students weren't told and school employees/it people denied it multiple times and said camera light flickering was a glitch.
They also "lost" photos taken.
>Those 429 images, however, only reflected the number of images later recovered—during the ensuing litigation the district conceded it had been unable to recover a week's worth of images that it had taken

Highly likely it was pedo pics of female students doing things in the apparent privacy of their rooms.
The idea that these creeps who we know took pictures of sleeping students didn't watch and record them masturbating or undressing is unrealistic.

It's literally a minute of your time to put some discreet black tape on it.

>>61151125
>>61151141
But they might be scanning lots of computers/webcams around the internet and once they find something interesting, they save it and can possibly blackmail you. You could also get infected with a virus that sends your webcam feed directly to somebody else.

Even if you think you're smart enough not to get said virus, not all basic users are. If you think it's not worth using 5 seconds of your life to block a webcam (especially if you don't even use it) then that's your choice. But I don't see how it makes somebody paranoid or dumb who does it.

>>61151162
the chances of someone breaking into your home is still a thousand times higher than anyone will even view your webcam, let alone dox you and try to ruin your life with it

Literally why does this bother you???

If you could draw a small dot on your shoe and it would save you from lightning strikes would you not do it?

>>61150982
So somebody is going to scour all the networks in the world to find the devices with cameras on them so they can then record footage of the owner of said device masturbating.

And for what? I think even you with your fear mongering has to admit that concept seems a bit off the wall. Sometimes I feel like this whole overbearing security thing is a meme and the perpetrators are trolling.

Also, how would you know "their" plans with this data would make me have a panic induced heart attack on the spot? What are "their" plans, anon? Are we just memers here?

no they're after people they disagree with personally/politically or they cast wide nets to target many people at once. No hacker who can do anything is going to bother trawling through webcams just to find you personally, but keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel valued

You seem way too focused on the pasturbating part. It'sthe idea that matters. Say, you live in the US and for some reason the morning news made you angry so you exclamed: "I fucking hate Trump!". What you didn;t know is your smartphone records everything you say and sends it to NSA servers for further analysis. Soon the law against insulting the president is made and the offense is punishable by up to two years in prison. Police shows up at your door, demonstrated they have evidence against you, you get packed up. Would you like to prevent this scenario from happening? If you think that's retarded and would never happen in the US, I hope you're right, but there are places in the world where this exact shit happened many times over.

>>61151095
>If I was an in politics

>>61150977
I mean there isn't really any other than social implications, which people on this board don't take seriously enough but I would suspect in this case it's pretty minimal.

Besides that, though, what's the harm in leaving it off? Like seriously somebody give me a concrete answer: what is it that you don't want video to be taken of?? They can't capture your computer activities with a webcam so why bother? Except of course for obvious exceptions like drug dealing or etc.

Jesus, I mean, I bet you could gather more information by using the built in mic and picking up the tiny vibrations from the computer to translate into bits, right? Unless theirs a mirror that reflects directly onto your work area but, y'kno, exceptions exceptions

The process can be and has been made (even as a PoC) automated. Even I as a huge fucktard who doesn't know a thing can think of a few ways of exploiting mass surveilance of common people for profit.

>>61151257
I feel like people like you who seem to get upset at people taking bare minimums of ensuring privacy because it means they "think they're special" have some deep seated psychological issues with self worth.

>>61151268
what kind of images does the automation look for? naked people?

>>61151272
well, you're wrong, and your "bare minimums of privacy" are paranoid delusion, hence why normal people with common sense laugh at you

I personally never felt like I am important enough to ever be spied upon or anything, I know nobody gives a fuck about me. That doesn't mean I shouldn't put a reasonable amount of effort in protecting my privacy the same way I put a reasonable amount of effort to not get robbed and/or killed on the street. The chances of the latter are extremely small too, and the perp(s) would probably not give a fuck about me too, that doesn't make them any less scarier. When you go outside you tend to wear clothes without giving much though about it, don't you? What stops you from getting out naked if nobody gives a fuck about you anyway? Stop wiping your ass after you take a shit while you're at it too.

>>61151287
Are you doing something illegal, anon? Are you a terrorist or a pedophile? If you have nothing to fear, then you have nothing to hide, so tell us: Are you ok or not ok with putting a camera in your bathroom?

>>61151274
Keyboard presses, credit card numbers, passwords, directions to where something valuable is hidden, personal info that might get exploited to gain something, anything like that and much more. It's not just the images, it's the sound too.

>>61151314
>Are you ok or not ok with putting a camera in your bathroom?
Fuck you and your bullshit. I'm not the anon you were replying to but I gotta have my fucking privacy.

>>61151217
Yes, of course I realize this. I suppose I was referring more to the ridiculousness of constantly monitoring and wasting the resources to effectively survey thousands upon thousands of users' home devices. The bandwidth needed to support this would be phenomenal wouldn't it?

>>61151221
Ok, sure, good for them, but like my previous point before, what are they going to do when they find someone who hasn't taped their laptop? Watch them do mildly embarrassing things and then jack off because he has some weird fetish associated with this? Where's the part that makes me have a mental breakdown? Maybe I just don't really care that much if people know what I do at my computer.

>>61151238 This actually seems like a pretty valid point and I suppose I live in a bit of a paradise in that regard where I'm free to express myself, so I tend to miss the finer points of defending my privacy.

>>61151339
So the bathroom has to be a 'safe space' where you can organise terrorist attacks and molest children then.
We cannot have these kinds of spaces, they threaten our very existence.

>>61151339
>I'm not the anon you were replying to but I gotta have my privacy.
You must be some sort of terrorist or pedophile. Anyone who refuses to have cameras in their bathroom is either a terrorist or a pedophile. After all... nothing to fear, nothing to hide!

>>61151303
The chances of being robbed are much higher and the risks of getting your webcam recorded are much lower. Who the fuck flashes their credit card at the camera?

>>61151365
>The chances of being robbed are much higher and the risks of getting your webcam recorded are much lower.
Getting robbed in the street requires a human criminal. Getting your webcam recorded requires software. One of these two can be duplicated a billion times with zero cost.

>>61151327
>>61151342
Ok, I guess I'm dumb and didn't really think of locally filtering video feeds with software on the infected's hardware for key bits to send back, so I guess go ahead and disregard my first bit. Although, anything regarding interacting with the computer seems a bit silly as a webcam typically doesn't point at the keyboard, right?

>>61151375
how many people do you know who have been robbed / been close to being robbed, and how many people do you know are the vicitims of personally targetted computer crime? unless you're into hacking yourself, the latter is probably 0

>>61151378
>You're really paranoic. I seriously don't want people to see my dong, that's all.
Are you using your dong for terrorist activities? Or pedophile activities? If you are not a terrorist or a pedophile, why would you want to hide? No, you must be a terrorist or a pedophile if you are being so secretive and trying to hide things from the spying eyes of other people.

Hahaha, people can spell out every piece of info that's contained on a card to their family member at the comfort of their own home if they are under a belief nobody is around to snoop on them. Or even flash it to the family member during a skype conversation so they can make a purchase for example. Don't underestimate the stupidity of common people and lack of any consideration for their private data. Fuck, I memorized 95% of PINs on my colleague's credit/debit cards because they never cover the pad with their hands when they enter the code in the company's cafeteria.

>>61151453
I 100%-105% believe that anyone who refuses to have publicly-broadcasting infrared cameras in their bathrooms and bedrooms is either a terrorist or a pedophile. Also, if you have a camera but you cover yourself with a towel or a bedsheet, then that ALSO means that you are either a terrorist or a pedophile.

After all... nothing to fear, nothing to hide... amirite?

>>61151476
IF I have a full system access to a compromised computer, sure. Perhaps I only have an access to the victim's smartphone though, who knows. I'm only making up various scenarios in my head. The actual attacker would find a way to do something with every piece of data he collected I'm sure.

Yeah that's what i was talking about in a previous post, my man. You can't stop sound by covering up your camera.

Unless they find a situation where sharing those photos is going to be very determental to the target nobody is going to pay up. To do that you need to actually know the person. It's not even worth the time to dox them. You'd make more money with ransomware viruses

>>61151491
How do you know that I'm not? I've never identified myself in any way during our convo. Anticipating your responce, I amd not famous and most likely never will be, that's true, some people on this board very well might be though.

>>61151508
You'll never be able to acoustically determine what's being typed with any degree of reliability. If you have NSA backdoors to cameras I'm sure you can read keyboard inputs aswell

>>61151481
I mean yeah fair point. To be fair on my end, though, your local mechanic probably doesn't have political aspirations and, therefore, probably has no incentive to train his privacy skills.

>>61151516
I personally take a complex approach to ensuring my privacy. Lowering the attack surface by taping up the cam among other stuff seems like a good idea to me. If I understand right what you're implying.

>>61151542
>You'll never be able to acoustically determine what's being typed with any degree of reliability
Well, if we're going that road, there are papers on that where it's proven the method can achieve up to 96% accuracy over as little as 10 minutes. Seems like a decent degree of reliability to me.

>>61151589
with any keyboard in any room with any microphone?

>>61151550

This

>>61151521
I actually meant to look at that and forgot, sorry.

Having now read it, that's pretty unfortunate and scary. I could definitely see how that could be exploited in a government prosecution, but with laws that are being introduced, it would make the footage obtained this way unlawful and unusable in court(so there would be no incentive for them to watch you). Obviously, this doesn't pertain to illegal activities that could warrant you being actively and legally surveilled, but, like I've said previously in the thread, that's an exception and if you're doing these things you should take necessary precautions.

Not brushing off the obvious security concerns, just trying to represent the practicalities.

The laws can be put in place, removed or changed. I don't put too much trust in it. Ultimately some things will boil down to you being more careful as a person. Using the same comparison in the thread, laws against robbery exist for God knows how long. Doesn't seem to stop the robberies as a whole.

ITT - /g/ and /pol/ get together.

Quite simply everyone gets spied on to one degree or another.

The difference for concern is the people in government. Everyone banging on about nothing to hide etc (a term coined in Nazi Germany) is all good any well when you have a "reasonable" government.

However with this infrastructure in place now, how would you feel if a REAL tyrant got in power in your country?

>>61151663
Yes, but what people don't understand it, that if there is a way to remotely hack into the webcam, then there is a high probability that sooner or later it can be hacked into by script kiddies as well with code they found online.

>>61151689
If the school has the images/videos of the students on their servers, somebody can hack them from the school's servers.

>>61151577
I wasn't intentionally implying. What did you think? I just thought it was pointless you brought up acoustic snooping since we're talking about restricting optical invasions of privacy by obstructing access points, which is, of course, ineffective in obstructing auditory invasions of privacy.

Holy shit, the amount of hypocrisy in this pic.

>>61151707
the point is it's different to anonymous spying by any hacker onto any random person, the school bought computers and installed tracking software on them and gave them to students

>>61150709
Rightfully so. Unless you work for the FBI, then literally nobody gives a shit about you and woldn't spy on you even if they could do it without any effort.

>>61151607
While I completely agree with you on that, I would also think that's a pipe dream akin to getting everybody to recycle.

Of course, even worse because it's hard to attach an obvious and easy to comprehend negative social stigma akin to someone who doesn't recycle to someone who doesn't passively protect their privacy.

>he doesnt know the attacker needs root access to view webcam remotely

>>61151757
Doesn't make it any less illegal. You can't just lend me your spork at lunch because I forgot to bring mine and expect me to hand over my lunch because you somehow became entitled to that.

>>61151770
Don't worry, privacy nowadays is a meme anyway. People have killed it off themselves in exchange to convenience.

>>61151776
what the fuck are you talking about? I didn't say it was legal

Well, that simply goes back to my previous points and perhaps a failure of my own personality in that when someone like that has gotten ahold of this footage I have no concern either way within a reasonable spectrum. The spectrum of course referring to the exceptions I've referenced several times.

That's a fair point, although, I'm not sure about the /pol/ part.

>>61151072
What country?

>>61151395
It doesn't need to be personally targeted. The way I've seen it done in the past is usually through malware, then the hacker goes through all the webcams looking for something good.

>>61151504
Why do you keep saying it backwards? R u a trole?

Please remember that we have Beastman threads last year in /r9k/. Shit's deplorable.

I suppose that's the ultimatum, isn't it? Just don't be a jack ass and appropriately secure your privacy in relation to the activities you're participating in. Why do we even discuss shit like this.

>>61151046

All laptops suck for typing.

>>61151788
Not knowingly. It comes with it's benefits, too, so don't feel too bad. The globalization of society is a good thing, anon. One step closer to proper motivation for space travel.

It is or isn't a meme depending on where you live. Think about it.

>>61151817
Well, if you don't care then you don't care. But what would you think if you found pictures of your girlfriend masturbating posted on /b/ or pictures of your mom naked posted around the web?

show them zuckerberg and gov officials with taped up cameras

This is a decent question.
Even high end laptops have trash cameras.

Maybe NSA spec only allows shit cameras

You'd be less paranoid if you spend less time on the internet m8

Install a RAT on their machines and spook them with a mask on and a voicechanger, then destroy evidence and cut connection. They'll all have tape on their machines in no time.

>>61151023
i have a logitech wireless keyboard with those flat keys.

It doesn't really suck to type on them. They don't get ANY dirt in them.

My main problem is that they require a lot of force to push and the very short travel time exemplifies that.

I'd take your opinion seriously, but you're a tripfag.

Also, Private is not equivalent to Illegal. There are thousands upon thousands of legal activities that you do not want anyone to know details about - two such things being banking and emailing secrets - corporate, government, or interpersonal.

If you have no guarantee of anonymity and encryption, then literally anything you've done can be used to blackmail you. Even if it is a legal activity. If you want to live in such a world, prepare for a world in which anonymous whistleblowing is impossible (that's a violation of freedom of the press right there), people are revealed and shamed for having counter-cultural beliefs when they go up against powerful people, and a culture of fear is created where dissent is not expressed and people begin to self-regulate not based on what is legal, but what is publicly acceptable (even when they are NOT IN PUBLIC.)

I believe that every single connection should be encrypted and anonymous unless otherwise specified and if you disagree then you will only accelerate this erosion of privacy.

All cameras (phones, laptop, All-in-One's, etc) should have a physical camera cover or pop out and also a switch to disable the microphone.
The camera on the HP Pavilion All-in-One is the best solution i've seen.

nigga if they have your face, they can use it for anything. even if it's not embarrassing, it is a legit new picture that you can just use for ID cards or anything. it's not a stock photo, etc.

so yeah, protect that shit.

which part would need root?
> process runs on user level, sends video feed

>>61155020
clearly you configure Cheese to require root permission.

>>61155225
nah i meant Cheese "just werks" if you install it, it can simply open the video feed without any permission. so if you just have a regular linux desktop, you can capture/grab the feed.

>>61155240
I wish more people understood how insecure it is for programs which interact with microphones to "just work" with basic user requests.

>>61155304
well the biggest problem you have is that people just click "allow" anyhow. like on Android, they guide normies through the entire process of enabling "unknown sources" and whatnot.
