Comment on Ask HN: Running a hackathon and someone's laptop got stolen, what should we do?

Comments

First thing to install on any devise : Prey. http://preyproject.com

It's great to track your hardware, it can event take screenshot of the screen and pictures with the camera.

any professional cannot allow/afford/stomach the idea of even having their device boot if stolen.

something like this written as a hardware/bios/whatever malware is more interesting

Honey pot user or operating system? A major drawback to prey is that it only works when the thief logs into the account.
