privacy-scanner

privacy-scanner is a skill for Claude Code from maluta/privacy-scanner. It costs 123 tokens per session (2,571 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A security scanner for checking the Wi‑Fi network in a rental home for cameras, microphones, and other surveillance devices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for a privacy check in places such as Airbnb, Booking, or VRBO rentals.
Why use it?
It helps reveal network-connected recording equipment that may not be obvious during a visual inspection. It cannot find devices that are powered off, wired-only, on another network, or using cellular data.

Token cost

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

privacy-scanner scanned grade A with 2 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 6d 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.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

- **Linux (Arch)**: `sudo pacman -S nmap python arp-scan avahi`

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Privacy Scanner — WiFi Surveillance Device Detector

Defensive security tool that scans the local WiFi network to detect hidden cameras, microphones, and surveillance devices in rental accommodations (Airbnb, Booking, VRBO, etc.).

Overview

Airbnb's policy prohibits ALL indoor cameras and recording devices, even if disclosed and even if turned off. This tool helps guests verify compliance by scanning the WiFi network for surveillance equipment.

The scanner runs 7 phases: host discovery → manufacturer identification → port scanning → service discovery → deep inspection → risk classification → report generation.

What it detects:

  • IP cameras from known surveillance manufacturers (Hikvision, Dahua, EZVIZ, Amcrest, etc.)
  • Consumer cameras (Wyze, Blink, Arlo, Nest, Ring, Foscam, Yi, Eufy)
  • Hidden cameras using generic IoT chipsets (ESP32, Realtek, MediaTek)
  • RTSP streaming services, camera web interfaces, vendor-specific protocols
  • ONVIF-compatible devices, mDNS-advertising cameras, UPnP media devices

What it CANNOT detect:

  • Cameras on a separate VLAN or wired-only network
  • Cellular-connected cameras (4G/LTE)
  • Cameras powered off or in standby
  • Devices using MAC address randomization
  • Local-storage cameras not connected to any network
  • Audio-only recording devices

Workflow

Step 1: Check Prerequisites

CRITICAL: nmap is mandatory on all platforms. Python 3.8+ is required for the cross-platform scanner.

Install per platform:

  • Linux (Arch): sudo pacman -S nmap python arp-scan avahi
  • Linux (Debian): sudo apt install nmap python3 arp-scan avahi-utils
  • macOS: brew install nmap python arp-scan
  • Windows: Install nmap from https://nmap.org/download (includes Npcap), Python from https://python.org

Python packages (optional, improve detection):

pip install python-nmap zeroconf requests

Step 2: Run the Scanner

Cross-platform (recommended) — works on Linux, macOS, and Windows:

# Linux / macOS
sudo python3 scripts/scan.py

# Windows (Admin PowerShell)
python scripts\scan.py

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
