Recovering Stolen Computers and Laptops

This presentation discusses the critical issue of laptop theft, specifically at Florida International University (FIU), where numerous Mac laptops have been stolen. We propose a solution that leverages camera-based procedures, including silent image capture, to aid in recovering stolen devices. The project highlights various approaches to customize recovery methods, such as expanding to PCs and running scripts to detect system characteristics. The current progress and potential challenges faced in implementing this recovery system are also detailed.

  2. Agenda • Problem and Motivation • Solution • Behind the Scene • Customizing the Solution • Disclaimer • Progress Report

  3. Problem and Motivation: • Laptop theft is a very common problem. Specifically we will focus onthe FIU environment where the school has experienced a rash of laptop thefts particularly Mac.

  4. Fig 1.1

  5. Solution • We will use the following agent procedures Camera Picture Capture and a few additional procedures to aid in an effort to recover stolen laptops.

  6. Fig 2.1

  7. Behind the Scene • Capture camera uses the port “isightcapture” to turn the web camera on silently behind the scenes and take pictures of the user and stores the pictures in the Kserver.

  9. Customizing the Solution • There is a lot of room for customization with this project and ideas such as expanding our range…. • Include PCs in recovery • Running a script to check to see what platform the computer is before implementing any script. • Running a script to check if the computer has a webcam.

  10. Disclaimer • The agents procedures are attended to work with Mac and requires the computer already have Kaseya already installed • If the computer does not have OS X or a webcamera some of the procedure will not work.

  11. Progress Report • We understand how the solution works in the environment but we are still researching and brain storming the best way to implement these procedures into the current environment. • We have tested a few of the procedures but not all of the procedures have been tested so not all of them can be guaranteed to work.
