Hi ?
Sorry for late reply. There was a problem with POSTING.
1. Differences from other programs.
– I guess, but I think other programs will control webcam using API injection hooking. Of course, we also used API hooking at first. However, in this case, some programs were unable to control.
So we replaced it with a method of hooking up the registry at the kernel level. In other words, when some program tries to acquire cam/microphone information, webcam/microphone control is performed at this point.
– In addition, when the main application(“Block Webcam and Microphone”) is terminated, all programs can not access webcam except the default program of Windows O/S.
– I think that controlling the webcam/microphone by process is similar with another programs. (Ref:: I have tested what Microsoft provided, but found that webcam can be activated with a non-Microsoft product.)
2. How we use
– To allow/disallow the webcam application:
– Specify specific applications (for allowing or disallowing)
– Specify “Digital Signature” (for allowing or disallowing): allow or disallow application corresponding to “Digital Siginature”
– allow or disallow all applications in a specific folders.
– A program that does not correspond to allow or disallow try to use webcam, then show alert window that ask the user whether allow or disallow it.
3. Planning.
– Some users said that they want to control the webcam by URL in the Browser.
Therefore, we have studied this functionality, and it take about two months to supply this functions.
Browser currently considered IE, Edge, Chrome, Safari, Opera, and FireFox.
4.About backdoor
“I have read some comments (admittedly, that I have not provided any physical proofs) that actually contains a backdoor installer that actually calls” home “, presumably to allow direct access to the user’s cam and mic without the If you are a hacker, you need to be careful.
==>
I have never seen this comment.
The product does not have the ability to use webcam and microphone. Therefore, the backdoor can not exist. There is no any backdoor on our applications. We are a company that does business normally. I do not have a way to stop myself by arranging BackDoor.
Thank you for your feedback.
If you have any ideas or features for product development, we will actively reflect them.
