I have a network camera, where the default password does not work. It is probably something simple though, so I though I should try a stock password breaker. What should I use to try to crack my network camera's basic auth login/password on port 80 on my local network? Nessus?

    What model of network camera? What is the setup? If the password is in the camera itself, have you looked at the manufacturer's site for a "emergency" password, or a way of "full factory reset"?

Do a full factory reset on your camera as suggested by @vonbrand. Consult your camera manual to find out how to achieve a full factory reset. The manual should also document the default password after factory reset.

If you have root/sudo access, it'd be much, much easier to reset the password directly:

sudo passwd foo where 'foo' is the account owner of the camera.

If you don't have root access, ask for permission from whomever has it.

  • Oh, did I perhaps misunderstand? Is this actually living a life of its own?

  • I'm guessing OP doesn't have OS-level access to the security camera.
