Surf exposed webcams like TV channels

Update

The next iteration of this project is available at ipcrawl.com, which indexes nearly every exposed webcam on the open IPV4 internet. See the write-up here: IP Crawl: The Webcam Security Awareness Project.

Introduction

I’ve always loved Omegle and Chat Roulette. Clicking a button and getting dropped into a random situation somewhere on the planet felt like instant chaos in the best way.

For a long time, I’ve wanted to build a one-way version of Omegle for exposed IoT devices. You click a button, and boom: you’re connected to a proxied stream from some random device on the internet.
