5 Ways to Track a Man Using His Gadgets

[Объединенное Детективное Бюро]

Thanks to President Bush Jr. and Will Smith - now we all have a persecution mania: it seems to us that we are under the hood of the government. But in fact, this paranoia is much more logical to apply to your boss, a kind uncle on your mother’s side and a guy who picks up garbage in the morning. Because thanks to modern technology, a lot of people can safely follow whoever they want. "Rformer" presents an adapted translation of an article from the Cracked portal, which discusses how you can follow any person without any problems using his own gadgets. 5. Tracking your movements Imagine Saturday night, you do your usual Saturday things. And your webcam just looks at you. And somewhere, someone is looking at you through this webcam (Rumorformer's note: for example, using the Canyon CNR-WCAM713 camera, whose LED never goes out). And then this video secretly hits YouTube, where someone will take anthropological notes or (if you're lucky) just masturbate. And you will never know about it. You probably heard about the scandal in one of the schools in Pennsylvania, whose leadership got into trouble because they handed laptops to their students, and then spied on them in the bathroom remotely - using the built-in webcams. Let me guess - you did not even suspect that it was even possible for the camera to follow you against your will? Or maybe you thought it was an isolated case or some special modifications of cameras? The truth is that there is nothing complicated. All types of such programs for remote espionage using webcams are freely available, and many of them are free. Simple versions will only take photos or record videos when motion is detected, but more sophisticated software will send you an e-mail when the victim's computer turns on; so you can look at the person, knowing exactly when he is sitting in front of the monitor. Convenient, isn't it? One of the vile uses of such technologies sends us in 2008, to the University of Florida, to a student who was repairing computers for people. He not only repaired them, but also installed hidden software, which allowed him to get a lot of pictures of naked girls who used these computers. Adding a “Ruformer”: this may be applicable to laptops, but this issue is controversial with conventional webcams. Apart from the Canyon CNR-WCAM713 mentioned above, most desktop webcams are equipped with an activity LED that turns on only when the image and video are being transmitted. The same cameras do not allow parallel broadcasting of two broadcasts from one computer (since this has not yet been technically implemented), but still, probably, no one bothers to intercept the video stream on the way to a seemingly well-known interlocutor. 4. Tracking your movements in space. Suppose your boss gives you a corporate cell phone. Cool such a phone. So the boss can call you when he needs to. For some companies, it’s not enough to know that you are somewhere in an office building. They need to know that you are in the workplace, and not somewhere else, chilling in the smoking room. For such paranoid people, it would be logical to use GPS to monitor your every move while you are at work. Japanese company KDDI has developed technology for mobile phones that uses something called an accelerometer to accurately track human movements. And the word "exact" is used here in the most literal sense. These guys can really tell you exactly where you are: walking or running, doing it in the bathroom or in the reception room with the secretary. Anyone with access to your phone can secretly download any software into it. Your mother. Girlfriend Time-traveling Alexander Bell. Yes, anyone. If you think that this will never be used in your country, then it already actually exists, only in a simpler form. The function, called geofencing, is used by mobile operators and allows you to control the movement of subscribers in certain regions. Accordingly, it is used in enterprises whose employees are constantly on the move, for example, FedEx drivers. A mobile phone with GPS and some software installed on it allows the boss to know where his drivers are at any time, and moreover, they will receive e-mail messages about speeding, doing nothing or entering “restricted areas” - for example, to bars, cockpit arenas, or to your own home if the employee jumped in for a snack (which is prohibited by the rules). But calm down: this does not mean that they are listening to your calls ... 3. Listening to your phone calls Today, in 2010, almost anyone has a cell phone and talks on it, even while sitting on the toilet in a public toilet. Does that bother you? No, wait a minute. You think - this is a great tool for listening to all your conversations, reading secret correspondence and keeping track of what you are looking for there on the Internet. Companies like Mobile Spy are now at the point where a cell phone is turning into a tool for total surveillance of each and every one. For less than $ 100, the client receives software that records the phone number and duration of each incoming and outgoing call, all SMS, sent and received messages and browser history. All the collected information is immediately sent to the database of these wonderful people from Mobile Spy. Other programs also allow you to listen to and record telephone conversations. No, this does not mean that you need to become paranoid and send all your text messages to Esperanto; but the fact that there are so many different kinds of spyware for cell phone owners suggests that there really is a very serious market for these kinds of things. But on the one hand (positive for us), none of these programs can be used unless the spy gets direct access to your cell phone. On the other hand (negative for us), anyone who can access your phone can control the level of your dissatisfaction with the authorities - yes, the FSB. But you won’t leave the suspicious person alone with your cell friend, right? 2. Using the Internet to search for your personal information You probably consider yourself a very smart person with regard to the disclosure of personal information on the Internet. Of course, we can all drunk write our telephones and addresses in the chat, but we are not like those students in VKontakte who give out their addresses and telephones right and left? So our privacy is safe, right? Of course it is. Until someone finds out your name or at least your approximate location. Because, having only such small grains of information, anyone can track your whereabouts, find out the phone number and in general all the information that you never gave to everyone. Yes, and that's not all! To begin with - there is one such site that allows you to view a map of your area to see if guys with a criminal past and present live next to you. The site seems rather creepy and just asks for the title of “site for propaganda of lynching,” but its creators admit that not all of their data are accurate, so perhaps this 80-year-old man with an oxygen cylinder from a house next door to not really a serial rapist. There are tons of websites ready to share someone else's personal information at a reasonable price. You can get any address and phone for a few bucks, but if it really suits you, you will also get the previous addresses of the person you are looking for, his nicknames, tax and criminal history, the cost of his junk, marital status, information about neighbors and family members - and all for about $ 40. All these sites do because they collect a lot of information from other databases, but only those who want to pay for it will get the result. 1. Tracking each hit on the keyboard If you have read up to this point, then you can already wear the title of a complete idiot if you think that the boss cannot follow you right at work. You yourself gave him this unofficial permission when you got this job, and this can be considered one of the unwritten rules like the dress code or the Sexual Harassment Rules. And the fact that you read this text at work after parsing emails from your colleagues suggests that everything seems to be in order, right? In the end, giving employees access to the Internet without monitoring their actions means that a person can spend minutes and hours pinning herself on a tree with a penis. And you probably still haven’t understood that for a small amount of about $ 50, anyone can access your computer in a matter of minutes and track all your actions. Right now, at this second, Thinkertec is selling SpyPal to someone. A program for covert monitoring of Internet activity. Thinkertec scares parents that their children are in great danger when they are on Vkontakte or on Facebook, and assures that observation is normal, and it's good that you get into the privacy of every person in your family , because you have a good goal - to stop these damned perverts pretending to be good people, you need to protect your family! Let's be fair: it really works, nothing will teach a child suspiciousness better than tracking his every move. “Listen, my boy! Never trust strangers! ” But parents are far from the only people who use such programs. Only about 50% of employers / spouses / computer engineers can install this program and get your passwords, chats, screenshots with various incriminating information and search queries that you enter secretly from everyone at three in the morning. Plus, the program will regularly report on what you copy, which applications you launch, and what characters you type. With an hourly update if that pleases this bad uncle. Note for an amount less than the cost of a video game. But all this, you say, is complete nonsense if I live at home alone. Nobody will spy on me, because I don’t need anyone. Is that ... maybe your ISP? Then to sell this information to advertisers. Do you know that almost every Internet provider keeps histories of browsers of their clients? In fairness, it should be noted that this is a legitimate act, because, for example, it helps the police keep track of child pornography distributors or help the RIAA file a lawsuit against a guy who downloaded three Metallica songs a few years ago. Well, or, for example, we recall the situation in England in 2006, when the three largest providers in the country were going to sell histories of browsers of their users to a company called Phorm to create targeted advertising. Phorm, by the way, then received millions of pounds from installed spyware ...

Thank you, Viktor Mikhailovich - an interesting and useful article!
In fact, most often they ask to find out who the person called. Plus social networks are hacked periodically.
