Linux Anti Theft

Hardware is replaceable, but your personal files are invaluable; both for self-employed persons, employees and home users. Today we increasingly hear about the theft of computer systems. Then the victim reports this to the police. Unfortunately, the chances are small that the stolen system will be found and being delivered to their rightful owner. To increase the chances that your system will return back into your possession after a theft, you can monitor your system. Your laptop or computer will automatically send the intern and extern IP address of the current connected network at every startup. The sent data will be stored in our database. You can access it via your personal control panel. This makes it easier for local autorities to localise the possible thief. Therefor, secure your laptop, netbook, desktop PC or server via linux-anti-theft.net It's also possible to dwnload the software and install it to your own server. Thanks to Kris Lowet.
