Secure Webcam??

corndawg · 10-05-2006, 05:28 AM

Hi! just hoping to pick your brains for a few moments.

Is it possible for someone to intercept a webcam stream through MSN Messenger for example, even if Windows Firewall is activated?

The recipient is on a university network, and i'm a tad concerned that someone else on the network might be able to do this.

If so, is there anything I can do to make the stream secure?

Thanks for your time!

You are on a large network, they are able to see everything you do anyway. If you want to cut out their connection, find an IP masking program and cut out access, otherwise, there is nothing you can do because the connection is going threw their server before it goes to the net. **edit** you can also bipass the proxy, though I don't suggest this, it can get you into ALOT of trouble. Due to the fact that it excludes you from all of the schools regulations and presets.**edit**
