Pwneye – discovering and accessing IP cameras (ONVIF/RTSP)

About

Hi HN,I’ve been working on pwneye, a CLI tool for interacting with IP cameras exposing ONVIF and RTSP services.During penetration tests and red team engagements, I kept running into the same friction, with discovery, authentication testing, enumeration and stream validation spread across different tools or quick one-off scripts.pwneye was built to handle that workflow end-to-end, from discovery to actually accessing and validating streams.Current features include:- ONVIF discovery and authentication testing (wordlists, multithreading)- Post-auth enumeration (device info, users, network config, media profiles)- RTSP extraction via ONVIF- RTSP port detection and basic vendor identification- Vendor-aware RTSP bruteforce- Stream validation, preview and recording- ONVIF reboot supportIt’s still early, but already usable in real-world engagements.Would be interested in feedback, especially from people who have dealt with ONVIF/RTSP cameras or IoT security in general.Repo: https://github.com/hackerest/pwneye
