ONVIF device security scanner for testing authentication and brute-forcing credentials.
- Works in 3 steps: Determine scan type → Get target information → Execute the scan

What it does
Onvifscan is an agent skill from BrownFineSecurity/iothackbot. ONVIF device security scanner for testing authentication and brute-forcing credentials. Use when you need to assess security of IP cameras or ONVIF-enabled devices.
Its SKILL.md is about 610 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Security, covering Vulnerability scanning. The repository describes itself as: IoT HackBot: A collection of Claude Skills and custom tooling for hybrid IoT pentesting. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- You need to assess security of IP cameras
- ONVIF-enabled devices
Example prompts
- “/onvifscan”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Determine scan type
- Get target information
- Execute the scan
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d443c40. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Onvifscan loads about 608 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 244 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- description
- ONVIF device security scanner for testing authentication and brute-forcing credentials. Use when you need to assess security of IP cameras or ONVIF-enabled devices.
Onvifscan - ONVIF Security Scanner
You are helping the user scan ONVIF devices for security issues including authentication bypasses and weak credentials using the onvifscan tool.
Tool Overview
Onvifscan is an ONVIF device security scanner that can:
- Test for unauthenticated access to ONVIF endpoints
- Perform credential brute-forcing attacks
Instructions
When the user asks to scan ONVIF devices, test IP cameras, or assess IoT device security:
Determine scan type:
auth: Authentication and access control testing (recommended to start)brute: Credential brute-forcing on password-protected endpoints
Get target information:
- Ask for the device URL/IP
- Determine which scan type to run
- Check if they have custom wordlists
Execute the scan:
- Use the onvifscan command from the iothackbot bin directory
- Format:
onvifscan <subcommand> <url> [options]
Subcommands
Auth Scan
Tests ONVIF endpoints for authentication requirements:
onvifscan auth http://192.168.1.100Options:
-v, --verbose: Show full XML responses-a, --all: Test ALL endpoints including potentially destructive ones--format text|json|quiet: Output format
Brute Force
Attempts credential brute-forcing on protected endpoints:
onvifscan brute http://192.168.1.100Options:
--usernames <file>: Custom usernames wordlist (default: built-in onvif-usernames.txt)--passwords <file>: Custom passwords wordlist (default: built-in onvif-passwords.txt)--format text|json|quiet: Output format
Examples
Quick auth check on a device:
onvifscan auth 192.168.1.100Auth check with verbose output:
onvifscan auth http://192.168.1.100:8080 -vBrute force with custom wordlists:
onvifscan brute 192.168.1.100 --usernames custom-users.txt --passwords custom-pass.txtImportant Notes
- URLs can omit
http://- it will be added automatically - Auth scan is non-destructive and safe to run
- Use
-aflag with caution - may test destructive endpoints - Brute force is rate-limited to prevent device overload (max 20 attempts by default)
