Intel Anti-Theft Technology demo with Intel Executives from Fall IDF 2008

[tommixoft]

Just one more shit that takes our freedom..our privacy..some jerks now can watch us, track where we are via GPS.. how "cool" is that! fuck security..nobody stills laptops..but everybody will want to know where're you, what you're doing and so on.. So.. NO for this CRAP!

[Lokivoid]

whats to prevent the thief from pulling the battery, opening the case and shorting the GPS / SMS antenna or just outright disableing the power pin to the GPS reciever chip? No SMS signal equals no Kill switch, hell just tossing the laptop into a bag lined with tin foil would prevent it from being able to transmit or recieve. Next thing they would have to do is flash the BIOS remove any of the IP tracking software. As for the FDE encryption, thats easily cracked.

[PanpanSuthatkul]

if I register for this. they will know where I am using my laptop all the time.?

[TwiIightSparkle]

@PanpanSuthatkul That's not thinking like a theif. The majority of thieves DON'T know about this shit

[rex669]

@PanpanSuthatkul YES

[tommixoft]

@PanpanSuthatkul even if you don't register - i can bet they track you they downloading some info..as all USA brands does... cause usa laws is aweful!

[jewie27]

He sounds like something is jammed down his throat...

[captnt3rror]

00:25 detecting the fag

[aoxilus]

still you can replace the motherboard and get it to work...

this is useless, put your data in an online server with password and auto log out..

[linagee]

This is wrong. A proper software would silently disable the machine, still allowing internet access and windows to boot, but not allow access to your data. If the machine appears to not operate, it goes into the dumpster. If it appears to operate, it can keep sending out help signals so the cops can bust their door down.

[bandit70051]

Kington lock?

[groobz101]

Imangine a big cock up at intel and all of a sudden all of these computers lock :O

[SwisssBolla]

Wonder what happens if someone at IT gets drunk...

[kostya1000]

or don't leave your laptop laying around for any one to steal, home invasions included

[cyberjackcyberjack]

you could do complease system reset. as i bet the "Intel Anti Theft Technology" just forces bios options. So you could remove the bios Batary so no polices could ever be into place

[Blackwater200]

Laptops should come with a self defence turret build into the it.

[yahoorif]

@Blackwater200 that is too dangerous! XD

[AntiStalinist]

Only wierdo's and terrorists wear their sunglasses indoors.

[TheEgg185]

eveyones gonna use the webcam feature to try to see their friends naked. :|

[VanRuumen]

he souns like borat :D

[juggnautbitch]

1 steal laptop.

2 reflash bios.

3 PROFIT

[Dnizzle7]

@juggnautbitch Well, if you closely observed, one of the options listed on the pull down menu was to disable the BIOS. How are you going to flash the BIOS if you cant get to it?

[Blackwater200]

@juggnautbitch Not if you put a lock on the spot when flashing it was blocked :D

[blueovalfan23]

that would be great assuming they don't wipe the h/d with boot disk and reinstall an o/s and disable the gps.

[millymoo6000]

fail...

put the hard drive in another computer

[lemonrind]

As a thief, I have to say that I do not support this.

[TwiIightSparkle]

@lemonrind i lold.

[Iezoyi]

It looks nice but like all things there are ways around it

[MrAngelsndemons]

How do you find out if a laptop has anti-theft?

[facejointdotcom]

@MrAngelsndemons the NSA and the CIA uses already this technology built in secretly in mostly of the computers you can find today.

[fireicer]

I f***g love this idea from intel lol

[MYNAMEROBERT]

what if you turn off the wi-fi?

will it still work?

[joedeafhiphop69]

yes it there plug in from cable wire! not eazy no fun with that lol i know same thing  still there on pc and laptop too u know i mean

[Dante1969]

And bytheway, it's not funny to think that your Brand New laptop has webcam remote controlled.

maybe they think that we are all blind

[Dante1969]

It's so FUNNY!!

This guy is typing HIS password on another pc......

So his password has been stolen..

Remember, there is no safe tecnology, because there will ever be an hacker tecnology (maybe coming from the same building?)

[alphaman1101]

its about time someone did something about this.

[MrGreenwoJ]

Presumably you just need to remove the battery when you first grab the laptop. Once you're underground out of mobile signal range and hidden from GPS you do whatever you want with the machine!

[AntDX316]

pretty sure theres a backup battery inside and its hardware coded so when ever the laptop is on for whatever reason it will still transmit... even if u remove the hard drive completely im pretty sure its bios locked and im pretty sure the bios is passworded if not it can be disabled

[aoshima6566]

@MrGreenwoJ Renting out a Brass mesh cage that blocks all wireless signals for only 9.95

[1981z28camaro]

not very good for ppl that just want the computer and don't give a shit about the data, they can just rip the HD out, and put in a new one. Unless it's like on the Bios, then they are screwed either way, lol

[aoshima6566]

@1981z28camaro Maybe but you can flash a BIOS

[1981z28camaro]

@aoshima6566 yeah, that's true, lol

[xxRazorJadexx]

4:11...

he said unprying...

O_o

Pretty sure we don't need to worry about people with unprying eyes...

[TheDarkFalcon]

and i am sure it does more than just lock the HDD. For it to be a well functioning lock it through the motherboard etc. changing the hdd wouldn't fix it. I really doubt intel would write software just for locking windows. lol

[nawaz2kx]

lool all you do is take the hard drive out and put it in another system and gain access to everything.

[dkx9999]

WATCH the video again, your files will be encrypted.

[lupuradu]

if the hard drive gets encrypted , all u can do is .. NOTHING.

That's what encryption does , basically it modifies the data so without a special key to revert the process , u can't do anything.

[aoshima6566]

@lupuradu who cares about photos and music. If they want the extra space than can re-format it.

[aoshima6566]

@nawaz2kx Just make sure your running Linux...

[Sisoa96]

not the best

[junglemage666]

Detecting the fag? - 0:25 lol i know i know, but i laugh at stupid things

[Gameboykd]

no he said detecing the fact the he stole. but i think what you said was fnuny

[HeinekenMan1985]

id just yank out hardrive and and install new one..... anti theft for maybe personal info but now i got a new laptop ;D

[EnT271]

uhh you know mac sucks, everyone knows mac sucks, its for idiots that dont know anything about computing, its a very limited OS so you dont mess anything up, everything is locked aka system for idiots

[CrazyMateFTW]

change mac for windows and you win

[LandonC33]

sure. that's why I used bootcamp on my MacBook Pro and run vista.

[TheDarkFalcon]

mac fags are not making up there mind. at first they bashed windows saying how useless it is, now they are like LOOK HOW COOL I AM I CAN RUN WINDOWS

[LandonC33]

I have always used windows.

[LandonC33]

i bought the macbook pro for its hardware. i had no intentions of using the mac os. Why would i run OSX for a few programs when i can run windows for those same programs, plus millions more?

[TheDarkFalcon]

That makes no sense at all. The Hardware you get when buying a pc is far superior than when buying a mac. A imac 24" inel core 2 duo 2.93Ghz, 4gb ram, 640bg hdd, nvidia gt120 Costs around US$2400. For that same amount of money you could get WAY better hardware when buying a pc.

[massinovajr]

Especially when you custom build your own. It is WAY easier than people think. I think everyone should do it, especially since it saves me hundreds, and I get exactly what i want and more for less.

[TimSAksu]

haha too true

[Lokivoid]

@TheDarkFalcon

Notice they always ignore the fact that you can use a custom bootloader and load up OSX on a windows PC ether from boot or via VM inside windows.

[dgmxviana]

how does the data get sent to the laptop??? does it need a internet connection or how does this feature work???? plz reply!!!

[drumzstix666]

and fucking guess what, this will be ONLY for microsoft users. sorry mac lovers, better luck next time and dont bull shit either when ur gonna say we'll have this too, cuz u never will.

[Hughesburner]

A mac program called "undercover" serves the same purpose. Do some research first before flaming...just an idea.

[souperman12345]

so technically. this idea in THIS video is only for windows.

undercover is a different idea.

your wrong.

[xor7589]

Hmm in my opinion... If i were Intel... I will encrypt hard drive in the beginning... using hardware encryption module...so when somebody stole my laptop, i will send disable packet; hard drive encryption module will block completely possibility to use any hard drive plus in some kind of flash there will be stored info about it ^^

[laptopdesktop]

After you get the laptop, just turn off the laptop completely, pull out the hard drive, format the hard drive, and install the new os into it.

[juanmartinez1985]

1)can somebuddy show this guy daddi pelnutter how talk english..

2)don't waste your money on this bullshit.

att:the guy with the mask.lol

[clarinervium]

Where can I get this Anti Theft Software??

[Balmer1]

hehe ...

[alexzeegreat]

I'm guessing this is a good thing to have if you live in Oakland California...

chase him down pussy!

[azkeyz]

Laptops = not worth stealing.

[dgmxviana]

this is what i need, i have alarms, camera u name it, but my laptops always get stolen -.- i have the dudes picuture who stole my laptop and my moms and even a video... BUT this i what i want so u can do a drive by lol shoot the asshole who took it

[CRAKIZGOOD]

there is a very easy way to bypass this

as soon as he steals the laptop he can remove the hardrive (if he want the info)and use it in another pc

but if he only want the laptop ha can flash the bios

[IgorHW]

I think data is already encrypted on HDD.

[CRAKIZGOOD]

they didnt say that

and u can easily disable the transmitter that receives the code that activate the pill or or any other code

-sooner or later it will be hacked/cracked

[IgorHW]

@2:50 they mention something about encryption crawling over data... don't really know what that actually means, but if it is not already encrypted then it would be too easy to bypass it. I know that it would be hacked sooner or later, just hope it's not that easy :)

[DrDaxxy]

It probably resides in a part of the chipset that cannot be flashed.
