Examples of practical attack vectors

Potential security vulnerabilities and outcomes

Abstract

IP-based Surveillance systems protect industrial facilities, railways, gas stations, and even one's own home. Therefore, unauthorized access to these systems has serious security implications. In this survey, we analyze the system's (1) threat agents, (2) attack goals, (3) practical attacks, (4) possible attack outcomes, and (5) provide example attack vectors.
