What would you do if someone steals your notebook or smart phone with its precious or sensitive data that comprises your digital, personal and work life?
Prey is a lightweight tracking software that helps you find, lock and recover your device when stolen or missing. It is open-source and available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Android.
How Prey works:
Prey tracking software runs in the background processes of your notebook. It "wakes" at a specified interval, goes online (if your laptop isn't already connected to the Internet, Prey tries to connect to the nearest open Wi-Fi access point) and checks in with a specified Web address to see what you have ordered it to do. If said address doesn't issue a command to the laptop (such as telling your computer that it is considered stolen), the Prey software returns to sleep and will wake up again at the next time interval.
If your laptop is stolen, you can use another computer to sign in to the Prey Web site, mark the laptop as missing, and follow the whereabouts of your purloined system through a control panel -- assuming the thief takes your notebook online or the software manages to connect to a Wi-Fi access point.
