Turn your Netbook into a Security Cam

“Pugad Lawin” (Hawk’s Nest) is a simple application that turns your winxp netbook (or any box with a webcam) into a security camera. You can watch your home or your office while you’re not there.

Quick setup:
1. Run PL.EXE
2. Choose a password
3. Choose unblock when prompted by your firewall
4. Access your webcam by opening a browser->http://your.ip.adress.here/ (It would be easier if you have DDNS)

*Requires a little config if you are behind a router/fw.

You can do plenty of “fun” stuff with this (e.g., wireless cctv, baby monitor+iphone). It’s up to the limits of your imagination, but do remember to behave. 😀

Thanks to alex, x.solis and the stare (blackberry test) for their feedbacks. This is my first time to code again in a very long time, please report if you find any bugs. 😀

Description:
Modern Crimeware is a term coined to describe recent web-related attacks. In the ‘old’ days of virus and malware, the primary motive was fame. Modern crimeware is fuelled by financial motives and has evolved into an intricate economy of supply and demand, distributors, affiliations, and pricing models.
