Just wanted to share this with you guys:
the following script keeps you up to date about it's environment, in short it:
- takes pictures with the built-in iSight webcam
- takes screenshots
- scans for networks (SSID, MAC-addresses, ...)
- collects minor activity stats (uptime)
and sends all this information to your webserver. Continuously, every 5 minutes (by default), and it runs as a daemon (which means no users have to be logged in, it'll run from the loginwindow too)
Here's what you need:
/Applications/Utilities/Tickle/tickle.sh
A few notes though:
- to make scp work, you should be able to ssh to your server, and not have to provide your password. See "man ssh-keygen" for help on this. In short, ssh-keygen: put your public key on the server, in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, and the private-key file (local in ~/.ssh/identity) must be chmod'ed 600.
- the script was based (originally, the code is actually 100% replaced) on a small tool called Tickle, hence the name.
- you should have isightcapture installed (in my case it's in /Applications/scripts/)
- screencapture is osx default I believe
- if it still won't work, try "Enable access for assistive devices" check in "System preferences -> Universal Access", might have something to do with it
- the logger.php script on your server:
- the daemon (service that makes the script run every 5 minutes): /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.x4s.tickle
I've been working quite some time on it (mostly figuring out how to make things work, Googling for help, finding nothing but "that's not possible")
Any advice, comments, questions are welcome
