dogpile Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Hi everyone, I am a obj-c/c++ programmer. In the past my macbook pro got stollen allready two times. The biggest problem is that when the harddrive is removed, the anti-theft software is gone. I am researching right now if there's a possiblity to modify my firmware and add a plist file that's installed when the OS is installed. I want to know if EFI (where all the plists are) is in the firmware and how to modify that. I am thinking to make a plist file in the EFI of a mac that sends data to a server when asked. And I want to know if there's allready some research about this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scellow Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Hi, i think the best way is to install an gps tracker inside the MBP http://www.ebay.com/...=item51a9cd4c0b Then even if someone stole it you'll be able to find it and call police Edit: It's a bit big, but i think you could find an tiny one, and solder it on the motherboard, it require some skills but it's the best anti-thieft solution IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djohnsto77 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 You would need to do EFI programming, not just put some key value pairs in EFI memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
