Penetration tester Kevin Finisterre has found all kinds of exploits and has been hired to hack all kinds of companies and peculiar devices. But after Finisterre was hired to pen test a city’s infrastructure, he discovered just how easily he could compromise a police cruiser’s computer gear. He tapped into a digital video recorder in a cop car and soon saw the live feed on his computer screen.
Cameras mounted on dashboards are meant to insure police accountability about any possible abuse of authority as well as to collect evidence. These dash-cams can provide situational awareness in real-time of perps and of officers for law enforcement back at the police station.
By the end of the hack, Finisterre accessed the DVR hard drive and could see with cams and hear through the microphones in the police cruiser. By using default passwords, he was able to upload, download and even delete video feed files which had be collected from cop cars. Those stored files from DVRs might be meant for evidence in court cases.
