🔒 Overview

Webcam Spyware Protection Tool is a Python-based desktop security application designed to protect users from unauthorized webcam access (spyware attacks). It combines hardware-level control (via Windows Registry) with a Two-Factor Authentication (Email OTP) system, ensuring only verified users can enable/disable the webcam.

The app is built with a modern Tkinter GUI, offers real-time status updates, and includes a project info portal.
