It's like Y2K!

First off it cannot work.

Second, It cannot work.

First rule of security = PHYSICAL Security.

No matter what is deployed (RFID, GPS, Startrek Security Intervention) Two things must happen.

RFID. The laptop has to be with in the range of a reader. Pretty sure that's not going to happen.

GPS and all that other BS they are implying. Yea, OK the laptop has to be turned on.

So three scenarios.

1. Idiot steals laptop and sells to friend. Friend gets busted.

2. ID thief gets laptop, removes HDD, Clones HDD Throws laptop in river. (wow all that anti hacking technology worked real well for you didn't it?)

3. I get the laptop, Know that a special BIOS is needed to post the attached hardware. Remove the GPS and what ever else they thought of chip, and rewrite the bios so It functions with out the chip.

Post findings on the Internet.

Sell the laptop


If you have physical access to a computer, you own it!
