Скачать или смотреть PYTHON Script to Detect Camera & Mic Activity in Seconds!

Are your camera or microphone turning on without your knowledge?
In this video, you’ll learn how to detect camera and microphone activity on your own system using a simple Python script.

This is a privacy-focused and ethical cybersecurity demonstration, showing how operating systems expose hardware usage and how defenders can monitor it.
The script does not record, spy, or intercept anything — it only checks whether the camera or mic is currently active.

🔍 What you’ll learn in this video:

How camera and microphone access works at the OS level

How security tools detect unauthorized hardware usage

How to build a simple Python-based privacy monitor

Why this technique is useful in ethical hacking, SOC monitoring, and endpoint security

This kind of detection is commonly used in:

Privacy protection tools

Security operations centers (SOC)

Malware analysis environments

Ethical hacking labs

⚠️ Educational purpose only. Test on your own system.

🧑‍💻 Python Script Used in This Video
import subprocess

def device_in_use(device):
result = subprocess.run(
["lsof", device],
stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL,
stderr=subprocess.DEVNULL
)
return result.returncode == 0

camera = device_in_use("/dev/video0")
mic = device_in_use("/dev/snd")

if camera:
print("⚠️ Camera is ACTIVE")
else:
print("✅ Camera is NOT active")

if mic:
print("⚠️ Microphone is ACTIVE")
else:
print("✅ Microphone is NOT active")
