Controlling ChromeCasts though the command line. Made by Brussec Security with ❤️

• Python
• Curl

All you really need to do is install python and curl and clone this repository. But just because I can, here are the commands:

sudo apt-get install python curl
git clone https://github.com/PabloBrusseel/CCEK.git

CCEK.py -t <target> -a <action> -v <value>

• play : Play a Youtube video with ID specified in the value parameter
• setName : Set the device name to the value specified in the value parameter
• scanWifi : Scan nearby Wifi networks
• reboot : Reboot the device
• factoryReset : Resets the device to Factory Settings (USE WITH CARE)

Change the device name of a ChromeCast

CCEK.py -t 192.168.0.43 -a setName -v "Pablo is my hero"

Play a video (Rick Roll)

CCEK.py -t 192.168.0.43 -a play -v dQw4w9WgXcQ

Reboot the ChromeCast

CCEK.py -t 192.168.0.43 -a reboot

The idea for this tool came after some guy sent curl requests to publicly-exposed ChromeCasts on the internet to spread PewDiePie propaganda. As this is documented functionality, you can't actually call this an exploit. Although one could wonder why this is possible without a single form of authentication.
