Flock camera is image available on ddossecrets. ddosecrets.org/article/flock-alpr-camera Very brief observations from micahflee: bsky.app/profile/micahflee.com/…/3mvo2bss3sk2v This Flock camera is running obsolete, end-of-life software. It’s on Android 8.1, released in 2017, support ended in 2021 It’s on Android patch level 2018-06-5 It’s running Linux 3.18, released in 2017 This shit is like 8 or 9 years old, and full of vulnerabilities. Flock was founded in 2017, apparently made their golden camera image within 12-18 months or so and never updated it since. They might not even have the ability to fix it in-house anymore, even assuming it wasn’t a one-off contractor job in the first place. I know the embedded development is a shit show, but somehow it never ceases to disappoint me how lazy and incompetent the entire goddamn industry is. Fucking android?

    HaJ3FgupAm8RrDJW3MHgT9X7Ft27eVaD What is that? That’s a hard-coded API token that Flock cameras use to identify themselves and get OAuth credentials, which can then be used to talk to Flock’s production servers. Like, anyone on the internet can probably do this right now. Mein Gott.
