10.4: Disable integrated iSight cameras
This hint is correct about its directly observable consequences, but not their implications.
10.4: Disable integrated iSight cameras
This hint appears to be for situations where no program should be able to access the iSight. There are environments in which cameras are not allowed, and by deleting this file a person might be able to demonstrate that the camera is effectively disabled and therefore permissible for use. Of course, the security fiends I've encountered would probably still be reluctant to give it approval, but the point of the hint still stands: making the camera unusable.

10.4: Disable integrated iSight cameras
Good points all around. I shouldn't have focused on the NSA security document but thats what made me realize not to many people were doing this. Mostly I was concerned about the educational market. While developers or programmers could certainly work around my proposed solution easily, my students cannot. Working for an educational facility it was demanded of me that I disable the cameras in a way so that the students could not use them but also be remotely reversable. As you can imagine this is easy to disabled and re-enable over a network using ARD or other such administrative methods. I know this is not highly secure but it works in a pinch for everyone and perfectly for education. |
