02-07-06 / 10:49 PM : Undercover : bad news for thieves (cjed)
The shareware Undercover fills a new need, the tracking of macs in order to trace stolen mac units. Once registered, the unique id is sent by the installed program each 6 mn, to a server that holds a database of stolen macs (you have to say them when it happens, and have stored your id). At this time the server will send a mail to prevent you, and moreover will be able to simulate a hardware failure on the stolen mac, by fading the screen to black. Better than that, it can also send a video taken from the stolen mac isight cam !
Explantations are here. Hoax or not, virus or not ? Whatever, the site claims that the program cannot be removed by the thief if you password protected the mac firmware. It is that reinstalling the system does not delete the spy program, wich would say that it is located in disk driver area or firmware ?

The goal is to touch base principles of arcade programming, so examples are simples, you will not create an OpenGL screen saver (it does not manage that whatsoever). It is here.
