Laptop Theft Protection with Bacon

Published March 27th, 2008 in Projects, Tech

After my car got broken into a few weeks ago, I started worrying about one of most precious possessions: my laptop. After a few hours of hacking I came up with this script called Bacon (beacon was too obvious), which sends the laptop’s current IP address and some other info to my server, so if anything should happen to my laptop I can try to track it down.  Currently it’s only been tested with Vista and probably won’t work on XP. I’ll have a linux version up shortly.
