| - __NOINDEX__ Prey is a free and open source computer tracking software developed by Chilean enterprise Fork Ltd, that provides information remotely on the location of a computer device (including smartphones), screenshots, images from a camera if fitted, etc. Its purpose is to assist in tracking a stolen device, particularly a portable one. The software connects in the background to a central server if an Internet connection is available, and if logged there as missing will send detailed reports either to the server (which a registered user can connect to), or directly to a specified email address (standalone). Also a small tool can be used to set up a control panel to manage multiple standalone devices. It will supply location information if connected to a WiFi network through the use of triangulation. Prey is almost purely written in Bash, and runs on various versions of GNU/Linux, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows. Its source code is hosted on GitHub and is free software, released under the GNU GPLv3. Latest Prey features include Wi-Fi autoconnect, an alarm system, remote messaging, screenshot grabbing, screen locking, data securing, hardware scanning and webcam capturing, if the computer includes one. All of these functions are managed as modules, which can be activated on demand by the user, and new functions can be added by adding new modules. The application was released for Linux and Mac OS X on March 24, 2009 , and for Microsoft Windows on April 19, 2009. The release current as of January 2012 was 0.5.4.
