Hey, Hackers! 👋 It's Ayush here with another exciting tool for your cybersecurity arsenal. In this post, we’re going to cover Cam-Dumper, a lightweight tool you can use in Termux to capture images from a device's front camera via a simple link.
As with all the tools we discuss here, Cam-Dumper is designed for ethical purposes only. You should always seek proper authorization before using such tools, especially when it involves personal privacy.
Let's dive into this detailed guide on how to set up and run Cam-Dumper in Termux. 🔥
What is CAM-DUMPER?
Cam-Dumper is a Linux-based camera capture tool that works seamlessly in Termux. It allows you to capture images from a victim’s front camera by sending a simple phishing-like link. It’s an excellent tool for identifying individuals who may be involved in malicious online activities, provided it is used ethically.
The tool operates using JavaScript to trigger camera access and save captured images in Termux. These images, along with the IP address and other details, are then stored in a dedicated folder for easy access. It’s not as feature-rich as some other similar tools but is highly effective for what it does—simple and lightweight.

How to Install CAM-DUMPER in Termux: Step-by-Step Guide
Let’s get right into setting up Cam-Dumper in your Termux app. Follow the steps carefully to avoid any issues during installation.
Step 1: Update Pre-installed Packages
Before installing any new tool, it's always a good idea to update the packages in Termux to avoid any conflicts or errors later on. Run the following command:
pkg update && pkg upgrade -y (code-box)
Step 2: Install Necessary Dependencies
You need to install a few essential packages such as Git, PHP, Curl, Wget, and Cloudflared to ensure smooth operation.
apt install git php wget curl jq cloudflared openssh (code-box)
This will clone the Cam-Dumper repository onto your device.
Step 3: Clone the CAM-DUMPER GitHub Repository
Now, let's download the tool from GitHub using the git clone command:
git clone https://github.com/LiNuX-Mallu/CAM-DUMPER.git (code-box)
Step 4: Navigate to the Cam-Dumper Directory
After downloading the tool, move into the Cam-Dumper folder to start working with it. You can do this by using the cd command:
cd CAM-DUMPER (code-box)
Step 5: Grant Execution Permissions
Before running the tool, give the necessary execution permissions to the script:
chmod +x camdumper.sh (code-box)
Now you’re all set to run the tool!
CAM-DUMPER in Termux
With the tool installed, let's jump into running it and capturing images.
Step 1: Start Cam-Dumper
To run Cam-Dumper, execute the following command:
bash camdumper.sh (code-box)
This will display the intro screen, and you can now proceed to the main menu.
Step 2: Choose a Server Option
You'll see two options to choose from:
- Serveo.net
- Ngrok
It's recommended to use Serveo.net as it’s more reliable. Select option 1 by typing 1 and hitting Enter.
Step 3: Create a Cloudflared Tunnel
In another Termux session, create a tunnel to expose your local server to the internet:
cloudflared tunnel --url http://127.0.0.1:3333 (code-box)
This will generate a link that you can share with the target (with proper authorization). The person who clicks on the link will be asked for camera permissions.
Step 4: Capture Images
Once the person grants permission, Cam-Dumper will automatically start capturing images from their front camera.
These images will be saved directly in the Cam-Dumper folder inside Termux.
How to View and Manage Captured Files
Once the tool captures images, you can find them in the captured_files directory inside Termux. Follow these steps to view them:
cd captured_files && ls (code-box)
This command will list all the captured files. You can move them to your internal storage if you want to access them through a file manager:
mv * /data/data/com.termux/files/home/storage/shared (code-box)
Now, open your file manager, navigate to your internal storage, and you’ll find all the captured images there.
Conclusion
Cam-Dumper is an easy-to-use tool that works great in Termux for ethically identifying potential threats or bad actors online. It's lightweight, simple, and gets the job done without much clutter. As always, make sure to use this tool responsibly and ethically.
