i am not helping em. by exploring their weaknesses companies can devise better solutions against computer theft.

ur censorship will only encourage curiosity, why not give them the infomation?

I thought u were smarter about this

Please.

As I said. This board is not for that.

alright i'll stop

why am i compromise security? everybody knows to at least format the drive or ghost the drive b4 u do

it's really common knowledge, hardly compromising anything.

If you dont want to get ur laptop stolen just use common sense. dont let it out of ur sights and use hardware antitheft devices like those cables and enclosures to secure ur laptop.

Okay, now THAT would be crossing my Line of accpectability if I were a moderator.

Anyway, the GPS thing, would work, and I could see companies tracking by that. And yes, GPS devices are that small now. My friend has a handy USB one for his laptop that is about the size of half a twinkie.

So what makes you guys think they don't exist already?

really that kinda sounds kool, but if it was in the USB port then wouldnt the theif just pull it out or something?

**james_bond_rulez** · 01-13-2004, 03:06 AM

even if u can track by gps did u ever think about the issue of transmitting the signals?

a gps RECEIVER only receives the signals coming from the sat not transmitting them out. it could be designed so that if a stolen laptop with gps tracking when connected to internet it would send the coordinate of the laptop to whatever

even that isn't reliable

even if you had a radio transmitter i doubt the batt would last that long

anybody has some other inventive theories?

oh and, i didn't read all this from articles or what not i only read about the software solutions from the websites, which is widely available to the public. so to censor this kind of trivial information on the board is really not advised since there is no rulez regarding censorship.

and this is by no means a how to guide on how to steal laptops. Virtual u have a lot to learn about modding a forum.

This is a discussion about technology and i dont think u should limit the discussion in anyway.

I think you are wrong there, james_bond_rulez. I'm quite sure this falls under the topic of hacking.

And I have not censored anything here. If I would have then your posts would have been edited.

Don't keep pushing this issue, james_bond_rulez.

I have no problem with discussions about the technology but as soon as you cross the line to show how the bypass it then it's hacking discussion (not permitted).
