I am currently developing a software solution for this called Webcam Blocker Pro. It's ideal for parents who wish to prevent their children from using the webcam and microphone without their supervision. Once the program is locked, it essentially prevents anyone from using any webcam or microphone attached to the computer, including malware or hackers, unless they have the password.
- ChrisAntaki 12y agoThe idea sounds great, but in practice, how will a software implementation compete with the malware, assuming it too gets root access? If you wanted to make a hardware based kill switch, that would be interesting.
- loupereira 12y agoIt's called fighting malware with malware logic. I will make the program available to the HN community for free once it's released and put it to the test.
