Hacking Webcam – Just one link:
To demonstrate the scenario, I have used a tool called “SayCheese” developed by thelinuxchoice and it is available on Github. To install the tool, follow the simple steps given below.
1. Download/Clone Saycheese file from github
$ git clone https://github.com/thelinuxchoice/saycheese.git

2. After cloning completes, go to the folder “saycheese”
$ cd saycheese

3. Give executive permission to file “saycheese.sh”
$ chmod +x saycheese.sh

4. Thats it, lets start the tool
$ ./saycheese.sh

5. Select option 1 or 2 to get the link, I’ve chosen for Ngrok. For the first time, it will take time to install depends on your internet speed.

6. Once, it gets downloaded, it will share the link. Open your browser and test it.
Your snap will get saved to the path /home/saycheese
Worked on Chrome and Firefox, check for other browser at your end.
Hope you got it clear in your mind that your privacy is in your hand. Stay safe and follow Cyber Hygiene.
