Adeona

Postby Alistair » Mon Jul 14, 08 4:30 pm

During my daily browse of slashdot.org I found this program.

Adeona is the first Open Source system for tracking the location of your lost or stolen laptop that does not rely on a proprietary, central service. This means that you can install Adeona on your laptop and go — there's no need to rely on a single third party. What's more, Adeona addresses a critical privacy goal different from existing commercial offerings. It is privacy-preserving. This means that no one besides the owner (or an agent of the owner's choosing) can use Adeona to track a laptop. Unlike other systems, users of Adeona can rest assured that no one can abuse the system in order to track where they use their laptop.


On Mac laptops you have the option to take pictures of your thieves. hah

Great piece of technology but who would man the system and what piece of kit is "the tracker"?

Is this forum for general technology, or gaming technology only?
Signatures are dumb.
