: Filters results to find URLs that contain "webcam.html," a common default page name for EvoCam’s web broadcasting feature.
To understand why this string is significant, it helps to break down the search components: evocam inurl webcamhtml upd

A remote attacker can send an overly long, specially crafted GET request to the server. When the server processes this request, it triggers a buffer overflow.

Here are some tips and tricks to help you get the most out of your Evocam webcam:

Watched a mug fall through the floor and curtains open onto static. Then it went dark. The vulnerability lies entirely on the server side
In Google’s search syntax, inurl: instructs the search engine to look for pages where the following term appears (Uniform Resource Locator). For example, inurl:webcam would find any URL containing the word "webcam".
