Laptop Theft Protector

If you're looking for a way to protect your laptop and retrieve it if it's stolen, this software might be just what you need. By installing a shell script on your laptop and a PHP script on a webserver you control, you can set up a system that reports critical network information back to you if your device is ever stolen.

The shell script is set up to run every X minutes via a cron job, so it's always checking in with your webserver. If the laptop ever goes missing, you just need to change a specific variable on the server which will trigger the laptop to enter "reporting mode."

Once in this mode, the laptop starts tracking network connections, taking screenshots, and sending this info back to your webserver. All of this data is then safely stored, and you'll even receive an email notification detailing what's been reported.

Overall, this is a simple, straightforward solution for anyone who wants to protect their laptop from theft and have a chance to retrieve it if the worst should happen. Just install the two scripts, set them up to run, and then rest easy knowing your device is protected.
