Some good news, after trying the Optiplex GX270 the small form factor one from 2001-2003. So at least it is still useable as a backup system.

The XP does load, as well the Kali does, but only these screens I can get any insight into it. It doesn't recognise the CD-ROM.

You have an 8 GB USB stick. So why don't you run Kali from it? Why you want to install it?

Hmm, I don't know. I imagine the whole point was to get it onto a system.

Kali does not go "onto a system", it is live Linux for penetration testing.

I tried in the F2, and F12 settings, where can I live boot the USB? It doesn't register any USB. I can only install the kali system as I did, surprising it did install but only partially when I logged on only just yesterday.

I can't install on the XP site the wifi driver. Not sure what is up with the CD drive it was never used, I could install a couple of games like Men in Black ~1997, and Driver ~2000. Strange. I tried another game, but the drive didn't register the CD either.

I guess I could try the live booting on the Dimension 4600 or on the Optiplex 780.

It runs on the Optiplex 780 small form factor, running windows 7. So a dual core system.

It looks quite straight forward. I didn't connect to the wifi network. I'd imagine a web camera hack on a computer on the same network shouldn't be too difficult. I saw the clips via the video site youtube.

Well, as I found out, a program would be needed for that to work concerning the laptop try. So that isn't a possibility, and software can also trace that there is a malicious program.

I guess, what would I would try is just an old web camera for an XP system I have, so on the same network. I imagine that was is quite possible. But sure aren't any guides for that.

I've tried a windows xp web camera exploit. It fails to load.

I did disable the firewall. I tried both windows/meterpreter reverse_tcp both x86 and windows 7 as was listed.

Both payloads work, but they fail to load the exploit list after that so webcam commands for example.

Any thoughts on what could be the problem? I'm using a very cheap web camera with no actual software for it, how ever the tutorial clip I used looked as if a web camera exploit was just a simple printscreen?

Windows xp installed the web camera after I inserted it. I don't know, unless the camera isn't legit. Might be a fake. The light switches on.

It does work. I did try the hack attempt again, this time the error was did find the system, but didn't open a session. Thoughts?

I also used windows xp 5 program for the web camera to work on the computer.
