Some perl scripts to help track stolen computers
Oh, man. I just recently wrote a script for my Macbook to do similar things to what Undercover does if it's ever stolen. I'd been meaning to clean it up a bit so that I could release it to the public and maybe submit a hint here.

I have thought about this, too. The most simple and flexible way would be to add some simple script that runs on boot (and/or on wake and then regularly) and tries to download and execute another script from your webserver. As long as the notebook isn't stolen, the file isn't there. If it gets stolen, you upload the file (which may contain commands to gather information, take a screenshot and send it somewhere) and you have an actual way to do whatever you want with the machine.

This could open the door to someone running malicious code. I'd be very cautious about running code from the web, no-questions-asked, even if you do control the webspace. |
