(Hackers) Does anyone know how down a stolen laptop? (reward inside)
 

Some dickwad ripped my macbook air out of a party at my house. I want to find the muther fucker. Does anyone know how you can track down a laptop by someone else using it?

I will gladly pay to bust this ashole.

You have to have a gps tracker installed previous.well worth the investment.I think you're fucked man

That sucks.

do you have any software on it that would automatically communicate with some server when it is connected to a network? The best would be if you have something like a dyndns client, but other software such as automatic backup software would also work. If so, you could get his ip and then go from there.

More than likely he will reformat,eventually

No LoJack I guess. Good investment.

and I will watch to see if you come online on ICQ

There's different software you can get that will notify a central server every time the computer is turned on, with it's current IP address and even webcam shots if you have a builtin webcam, but unless you had that setup in advance, there's not much you can do. I don't know if these programs are available for OSX either.

Sorry to hear about the theft, having your laptop stolen sucks horribly, especially if it's your primary computer.

Fuck what a pain in the arse. Sorry to hear this Jay.

did you install Back2Mac with your .mac ?? if not, ur done.

should really pay the $100 / year just for that.

wtf?

thats some bullshit. wish i was there, i'm always watching fuckers for that very reason when i'm there.

goddamnit! that sucks man.

should be a process of elimination thing though. i'm sure you know who brought who.

doesn't sound like he had any of that or he would not be asking us what to do gents

you fuck with one of my best friends you fuck with the ......well, never mind.


fuckin idiot.


watch and see.

Assholes.. I fucking hate people you let into your house for a good time then they steal from you.. a bassball bat comes to mind here

we always watch shit man. just it happens that i wasnt there this time.


if i was, i watch everyone. always.

fuck i am mad at myself.


i always see everything there.

so instead of enjoy the party you act paranoid and watch everybody?
lol

you can never be on the watch 24/7....watch who you let inside your home.

It aint your fault some dick head took his macbook, partys are for having fun and you shouldent have to keep an eye on everybody, its sad when you have to do shit like this...

Another bump for xxxjay and I hope he gets it back

see thats the joy of it.

my good friend gets to enjoy his night and i watch the rest of the cocksuckers that everyone might not know.

:pimp
when i catch a cocksucker, well then they go, and fast.

Point them out Jay.. I'll sit on them while you boot them in the face

Sorry to hear someone ripped you off - at a party in your own home no less... :disgust

Several software manufacturers, and Apple itself, will send periodic prompts to update the software on your computer (Adobe, Microsoft, Norton, etc).

Therefore, it seems possible that the criminal mastermind that swiped your notebook, may at some point try to download a free upgrade and thereby tip-off the software company as to their IP address.

Depending upon how valuable the contents were, it might be worth pursuing. :2 cents:

In any case, good luck getting your computer back! :thumbsup

ADG

tell me more!

don't invite nobodies to your parties?

LOL

I have no idea if Apple provides such service. I own Toshiba. I registered at their site and added all info about my laptop including serial numbers of network cards and their MAC addresses. In case the laptop is stolen, they track it using this info.

If you have your browser setup to login to the backend of any of your servers or sites that should not be seeing that much traffic then install just about any tracking app on that site / server

log all IP's hitting that resource and provide me with the date time and IP and I can give you a name

I will charge you 4k for the service and provide you with just about anything you need on that person unless they connect with COX or qwest

satisfaction or your money back

hope this will help :disgust

Sucks man... Blows when you are good enough to invite people into your place and then you get fucked like that... Sorry to hear...

hmmm... seems like you have been sniffing too much vinyl... try enjoying the party and let jay hire some russian security to handle the cleptos......

that fuckin sucks

Yep...they have used it from an Apartment here:

And a Starbucks at Sunset and Vine today. I have a friend who is a really good PI on the case now. We will nail the bastard.

Damn dude I'm glad you were able to track it down, whoever jacked it put a damper on an otherwise awesome night.

Funny. I rarely go out to that area, yet it looks so familiar. Is that a common look for apartment complexes out there?

That sucks, hope you catch him. Take a pic of him in the dumpster before you push him over the edge :)

btw, hope you don't have auto logins and auto pw's and stuff to aff programs etc, if he knows what he is doing he might screw you on a couple of K from some sponsor you don't look at much.

How will he take a picture of him in the dumpster if he hasn't pushed him over the edge yet?

Is he reading this right now?

I think you may not see it again. :( I had my laptop stolen while on the road a couple of years ago. And of course it had ALL of my info on it. I spent all day with a fucking hangover changing every password and every pin. Hundreds of them. :(
So since I do need my info when I'm on the road as well as ftp to all my sites, etc. etc. I now use an encrypted hard drive on my laptop as well as Waves security to even access the system and/or hard drive. So if it happens again at least they can't get my data. I would suggest to everybody that you do the same with any computer that is mobile...and hell even your machines at home in case of a theft while you're not there.

Sorry to hear that Jay. Hope you find the guy.

Nice! The sweet taste of revenge is within visible range. :)

I meant trash-bin, ya know, tape him up put him in a trashbin and push over the edge, or in the water :)

Wtf, that's messed up! sorry to hear that Jay.

I usualy lock my room where i contain valuable things when unkown people walks in house.

That sucks. I wonder if he/she/it is reading this thread

What software is that ?

Sorry to hear about your loss Jay. :(
