## What it is
SayCheese is a shell-based social engineering tool that generates a malicious HTTPS page to capture webcam photos from a target who clicks a link. It uses Serveo or Ngrok port forwarding and JavaScript's MediaDevices.getUserMedia API to trick the target into granting camera access.

## Use cases
- capture webcam shots from a target via a phishing link
- demonstrate social engineering risks in security awareness training
- test whether users grant camera permissions to suspicious pages
- run a red-team phishing simulation with a fake HTTPS page
- learn how getUserMedia permission prompts can be abused

## When to choose
- you need a quick, script-based phishing page generator for authorized penetration tests
- you want a lightweight tool that runs on Kali Linux or Termux without dependencies
- you are demonstrating webcam permission abuse in a security training context

## When to avoid
- you lack explicit authorization to test the target - using this is illegal
- you need a full-featured phishing framework with templates and tracking
- you want a maintained tool with active development and support
- you need stealth or evasion capabilities beyond a simple permission prompt
