The primary use case is embedded IP cameras or legacy web-based Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) that serve live video feeds via Server-Side Includes (SSI) to generate dynamic index pages without a full application server.

By searching for these specific file patterns, individuals can bypass standard websites and land directly on the login or live-view pages of networked cameras. Security Implications
