If you have an IP camera someone could be watching you.
One of the things drilled into me during my SWE30011 IoT Programming unit is that IoT devices are naturally vulnerable to threats. My IP camera, for instance, requires an account to access through its app, so on the surface, it feels safe enough. But I got curious. What’s actually going on under the hood?
As a student, I’ve always used Google Drive and iCloud for cloud storage but I quickly realized that I have no control of my own data and I’m tied to these cloud platforms. So, I started searching on how to make my own cloud storage. That’s when I got hooked into homelabbing.
Homelabbing is a hobby of building and managing personal server infrastrature. For me, that sounded fun and challenging so I started looking for the hardware that I’m going to start with.
