onvifscan

onvifscan is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from BrownFineSecurity/iothackbot. It costs 37 tokens per session (628 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security scanner for ONVIF-enabled devices, a standard commonly used by IP cameras to expose control and video functions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test authorized cameras and other ONVIF devices for unauthenticated access or credential weaknesses.
Why use it?
It helps check whether camera endpoints require authentication and whether protected devices accept weak credentials.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

onvifscan scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Onvifscan - ONVIF Security Scanner

You are helping the user scan ONVIF devices for security issues including authentication bypasses and weak credentials using the onvifscan tool.

Tool Overview

Onvifscan is an ONVIF device security scanner that can:

  • Test for unauthenticated access to ONVIF endpoints
  • Perform credential brute-forcing attacks

Instructions

When the user asks to scan ONVIF devices, test IP cameras, or assess IoT device security:

  1. Determine scan type:

    • auth: Authentication and access control testing (recommended to start)
    • brute: Credential brute-forcing on password-protected endpoints
  2. Get target information:

    • Ask for the device URL/IP
    • Determine which scan type to run
    • Check if they have custom wordlists
  3. Execute the scan:

    • Use the onvifscan command from the iothackbot bin directory
    • Format: onvifscan <subcommand> <url> [options]

Subcommands

Auth Scan

Tests ONVIF endpoints for authentication requirements:

onvifscan auth http://192.168.1.100

Options:

  • -v, --verbose: Show full XML responses
  • -a, --all: Test ALL endpoints including potentially destructive ones
  • --format text|json|quiet: Output format

Brute Force

Attempts credential brute-forcing on protected endpoints:

onvifscan brute http://192.168.1.100

Options:

  • --usernames <file>: Custom usernames wordlist (default: built-in onvif-usernames.txt)
  • --passwords <file>: Custom passwords wordlist (default: built-in onvif-passwords.txt)
  • --format text|json|quiet: Output format

Examples

Quick auth check on a device:

onvifscan auth 192.168.1.100

Auth check with verbose output:

onvifscan auth http://192.168.1.100:8080 -v

Brute force with custom wordlists:

onvifscan brute 192.168.1.100 --usernames custom-users.txt --passwords custom-pass.txt

Important Notes

  • URLs can omit http:// - it will be added automatically
  • Auth scan is non-destructive and safe to run
  • Use -a flag with caution - may test destructive endpoints
  • Brute force is rate-limited to prevent device overload (max 20 attempts by default)
  • Built-in wordlists located in wordlists/ directory

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

onvifscan is a skill published in the GitHub repository BrownFineSecurity/iothackbot (828 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 628 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
