- dec0dedab0de 13y agoTape works really well for disabling webcams. Microphones are a bit trickier, but if you're not against permanent damage shouldn't be too hard.
- olifante 13y agodon't forget that any speaker can be reversed to function as a microphone. A bit more annoying disabling that.
- user24 13y agoI wonder if having the webcam always on but piping to /dev/null would prevent a trojan from accessing it... I also wonder if plugging a 3rd party mic into line-in and switching it off would have a similar effect for the mic. You can never be sure unless your fix is physical.
- tripzilch 13y agowell if plugging the disabled 3rd party mic somehow leaves the internal one recording, that would imply your soundcard just got upgraded to having the ability for two inputs recording simulataneously. usually cost a premium, such cards :)
