While the Internet of Things (IoT) applications and devices expanded rapidly, security and privacy of the IoT devices emerged as a major problem. Current studies reveal that there are significant weaknesses detected in several types of IoT devices moreover in several situations there are no security mechanisms to protect these devices. The IoT devices' users utilize the internet for the purpose of control and connect their machines. IoT application utilization has risen exponentially over time and our sensitive data is captured by IoT devices continuously, unknowingly or knowingly. The motivation behind this paper was the vulnerabilities that exist at the IP cameras. In this study, we undertake a more extensive investigation of IP cameras' vulnerabilities and demonstrate their effect on users' security and privacy through the use of the Kali Linux penetration testing platform and its tools. For this purpose, the paper performs a hands-on test on an IP camera with the name (“Intelligent Onvif YY HD”) to analyzes the security elements of this device. The results of this paper show that IP cameras have several security lacks and weaknesses which these flaws have multiple security impacts on users.
