## What it is
Symbiote is a Python-based social engineering tool that generates a phishing page to trick a target into granting camera permission, then covertly captures webcam photos from their device. It supports tunneling via ngrok, localhost.run, and LocalXpose and runs on Kali Linux or Termux.

## Use cases
- capture webcam photos from a target device via a phishing link
- demonstrate social engineering camera permission attacks in security training
- run a phishing-based webcam capture demo on Kali Linux
- test camera permission phishing from an Android phone with Termux
- tunnel a local phishing page to the internet with ngrok or LocalXpose

## When to choose
- you need an educational demonstration of camera-permission phishing attacks
- you want a ready-made webcam capture tool for authorized penetration testing labs
- you need tunneling options built in for exposing a local phishing page

## When to avoid
- you need a tool for unauthorized surveillance or spying - this is illegal
- you want a general-purpose phishing framework beyond webcam capture
- you need a stealthy or undetectable payload - this is a simple educational script
