This research project started when Javier’s wife, our ex Research leader, told him their IP camera had stopped working. Javier was asked to fix it, but, as a security researcher, the temptation was too great. He brought the camera to the office and discussed the problem with Octavio, another security researcher at Faraday. The situation quickly escalated from some light reverse engineering to a full-fledged vulnerability research project, which ended with two high-severity bugs and an exploitation strategy worthy of the big screen.
