CamHawk v1.1.1 – Permission Error Fix

CamHawk v1.1.1 – Permission Error Fix (Errno -13)

What's Fixed

• Fixed the EACCES: permission denied error that occurred when saving captured images.
• This issue happened when CamHawk was run by a user who is not the owner of the main directory and not in the same group as the directory.

Implementation

• Introduced the set_permissions function in camhawk.sh.
• It automatically checks:
  • If the current user is not the directory owner, and
  • Not in the same group as the directory.
• If both conditions are true, it applies chmod -R 777 to the main CamHawk directory to resolve permission issues.

Security Notice

• Applying chmod 777 grants full read, write, and execute permissions to all users, which poses a security risk.
• It is recommended to run CamHawk as the main user (e.g., kali@kali) to avoid this.
