Re: [Om2008.9] screen locking application?
Another approach would be to use a software like prey : http://preyproject.com/ [3] . There's a debian package : http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/prey [4] It would only be relevant if you have a permanent Internet connection. It periodically checks on a server if your machine has been reported as lost/stolen. If so, it can run several types of actions on the machine, including : - trying to geolocate it (based on the wifi networks it can reach) : might work on QtMoko - delete emails, stored passwords etc : might work if you modify the scripts to delete the files/directories you want - and many other features that probably won't work out-of-the-box on QtMoko (take a screenshot, lock the device, take a photo with a webcam etc) It sends these info to the server, or by email. I use it successfully on my netbook, with a private server. Maybe it would be worth trying it on QtMoko. It does not encrypt anything, but can at least delete sensitive information, and give you hints to find the phone. NB : note that there seems to be some criticisms on the security of prey : http://www.shrp.me/docs/dont_use_prey.php [5] Mossroy On Mon, 05 Mar 2012 11:02:16 +, Al Johnson wrote: On Monday 05 March 2012 11:37:12 Hrabosh wrote: BTW .. would it be possible to run TrueCrypt on FreeRunner?
