💡 Tip: Once configured, you’ll receive real-time notifications and alerts from Camjacking directly in Telegram.
📝 Adding Custom Templates
When the Camjacking tool starts, it automatically clones the template repository from:https://github.com/Cappricio-Securities/camjacking-templates
into the local directory: ~/camjacking-templates/
If you already have custom templates in this folder, they will not be deleted.
Your existing templates will be preserved, and newly updated templates from the repository will be added automatically.
📂 Template Structure
You can add your own custom templates by creating a new folder inside:
~/camjacking-templates/Example structure:
camjacking-templates/
├── your-template-name/
│ ├── index.html
│ └── index.cssYou can find the complete setup instructions in this repository: https://github.com/Cappricio-Securities/camjacking-templates 👉 Clickme
⚠️ Naming Rules
- Template folder names must not contain spaces or special characters.
- Only the following characters are supported:
A–Z,a–z,0–9,_(underscore),-(hyphen) - Do not use the same name for multiple templates.
⚙️ How Templates Work
- The server automatically loads the correct template based on user input or the default configuration.
- You do not need to write any extra code to access the camera or collect data.
- Camjacking dynamically injects the required camera access logic into your templates and automatically handles routing to receive captured images.
💡 Tip: Focus only on the HTML/CSS design of your template. The tool handles camera access and data collection for you.

🔮 Planned Features
Coming Soon:
- AI integration for webcloing and prompt to template designing
🎯 Our Mission
Our mission is to make cybersecurity simple, accessible, and easy for everyone.
We believe that while experienced hackers and security professionals may love the command line, powerful tools shouldn’t be limited to complex commands and scripts. Our goal is to build cybersecurity tools that are:
- ✅ Easy to install
- 🧭 Simple to navigate
- 🔢 Menu-driven (numeric options instead of hard commands)
- 🖥️ Friendly for beginners with a clean GUI
- 🎓 Designed to help learners understand cybersecurity concepts easily
We aim to bridge the gap between beginners and professionals by creating tools that combine the power of CLI with the simplicity of modern user interfaces, making cybersecurity learning and practice more approachable for everyone.
💡 “Cybersecurity should be powerful, but it should also be simple.”
