Hi all,
|
||
|
||
A small article today to let you know about a <a href="http://sebsauvage.net/pombo/index.fr.html"><strong>Pombo</strong></a>, in case you wouldn't know about yet.
|
||
|
||
Pombo is a "magic app" ,that might be compared to the <strong>screenshare</strong> option of the mac <strong>mobileme</strong> service.
|
||
<h3></h3>
|
||
Basically, <a href="http://sebsauvage.net/pombo/index.fr.html"><strong>Pombo</strong></a> is a deamon that will be started automatically on your computer. It will automatically grab and store several data such as screenshots, gps track, IP addresses, ....
|
||
|
||
Then, it compresses and uploads them automatically to whatever <strong>web server</strong> you want.
|
||
|
||
In case your computer is <strong>stolen</strong>, it is then easy to get information back as soon as your stealer switch the computer on.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Pretty handy for laptops, or computers containing critical informations!
|
||
|
||
The only con of this application in my mind is that you have to let a deamon run in background of your computer at startup.
|
||
|
||
Now, you only have to hope that the stealer will <strong>startup</strong> the computer at least once, and not directly erase the content of the disk :s.
|
||
