Not quite sure if that's legit. (although obviously the stealing in itself wasn't legit either). Still, it would additionally mean you cant (safely?) plug in the device at a friends' place as well?]]>Feb 26th 2007 11:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/26/gadgettrak-hunts-down-stolen-gadgetry-for-free/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/26/gadgettrak-hunts-down-stolen-gadgetry-for-free/Feb 26th 2007 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/26/gadgettrak-hunts-down-stolen-gadgetry-for-free/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/26/gadgettrak-hunts-down-stolen-gadgetry-for-free/
If you are using the default Windows FireWall then they can easily bypass it, as the Windows FireWall allows programs to give themselves permition to access the interent. However I doubt that it will EVER bypass ZoneAlarm, as ZoneAlarm has NO Automated Firewall Bypass.

This is also assuming that every criminal is a moron! As this concept becomes more and more popular, then Crooks will start to dissable AutoRun on their computers (If they already have NOT done so because of the Sony CD DRM Rootkit) and that basically kills their tracking software!]]>Feb 26th 2007 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/26/gadgettrak-hunts-down-stolen-gadgetry-for-free/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/26/gadgettrak-hunts-down-stolen-gadgetry-for-free/Feb 26th 2007 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/26/gadgettrak-hunts-down-stolen-gadgetry-for-free/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/26/gadgettrak-hunts-down-stolen-gadgetry-for-free/Feb 26th 2007 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/26/gadgettrak-hunts-down-stolen-gadgetry-for-free/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/26/gadgettrak-hunts-down-stolen-gadgetry-for-free/Feb 26th 2007 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/26/gadgettrak-hunts-down-stolen-gadgetry-for-free/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/26/gadgettrak-hunts-down-stolen-gadgetry-for-free/
What are you going to do, walk into a police station and have them scour apartment buildings or a block of houses where your little ipod might be according to this site? No way that's going to happen.

It seems pretty useless unless you can have the ISP tell you where the IP is connecting from but that won't happen without a lot of wrangling in cooperation w/ law enforcement. That probably won't happen either.]]>Feb 26th 2007 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/26/gadgettrak-hunts-down-stolen-gadgetry-for-free/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/26/gadgettrak-hunts-down-stolen-gadgetry-for-free/
