MagicCrak - Anti-Theft and Positive Control Software
It's spelled magiccrak not magiccrack !
You have heard of the FBI's Magic Lantern Software. Well now you can have your own bright light installed on your computer to frustrate thieves or unauthorized users.
Catch a Thief
Gain Root Access Remotely (Optional)
Detect Unauthorized Logon and Use of Your Computer
Features: MagicCrak allows you to detect and locate the internet use of your computer after it has been stolen. You can then find the unauthorized user's IP address and law enforcement authorities can get a search warrant to discover the user's identity and recover your computer. We charge a fee to search our logs if your computer is ever stolen.
Special Features: MagicCrak allows you to gain root access to your computer and delete your files by remote control, format your hard drive by remote control, install any software by remote control and frustrate your thief's efforts to use your stolen computer. You could install a keystroke logger or any other software that might be helpful in prosecuting your computer's thief. You will need Administrator access to install this feature unless you know about a Windows security hole associated with the WIN NT Scheduler. This feature is not enabled in the default release of MagicCrak . You must make special arrangement with CRAK Software to enable this feature. You will be required to sign an affidavit attesting to your legal use of this software and agree to hold CRAK Software harmless and defend CRAK Software in any legal action over the use of this software. We will not license its use freely. There is a substantial charge for enabling this feature. This feature can only be enabled at the time of installation.
Ease of Installation and Use: MagicCrak installs easily. All you have to do is copy some files from a zip file into your Windows\system32 directory and paste a shortcut into the startup directory. Each time the thief logs on or boots the computer onto the Internet, MagicCrak's stealth protections start working.
What Does It Do? MagicCrak starts when your computer boots or when the user logs on and the stolen computer is connected to the internet. A practically undetectable background process sends out two very important messages to our CRAK Software web site. One message has your own personal ID code that identifies your computer by its hard to guess passphrase. The other message sends us your Ethernet card's MAC address. This six digit hex string is unique in all the world (theoretically). There is no other number like this on any other Ethernet card in existence, regardless of manufacturer.
These messages will allow law enforcement to gain access to the IP address and account holder and telephone number used by the thief. With this information, the police can easily locate the perpetrator and recover your computer.
If you have sensitive information that you want to keep from the eyes of the unauthorized, you can use the root access feature to delete files or even format the thief's hard drive.
Besides Anti-Theft features, does MagicCrak have any other uses? Yes. MagicCrak can detect unauthorized use of your office computer from your home computer. Here's how it works. You set up MagicCrak on your office computer so that it sends out ID messages to your home computer whenever someone logs on to your office computer. At home you run our utility in the background to listen for these office messages. If someone logs on, you can immediately see the ID messages coming inbound. You could then put up a splash screen notifying the unauthorized user to cease and desist, call your office security department, or run a batch file that would shutdown your computer or otherwise frustrate his activities. If you have ever suspected that your office computer may be compromised, MagicCrak will let you do something about it. Always inform your network administrator and network security representatives of MagicCrak's installation. If you do not, you run the risk of firewall or other filters defeating MagicCrak when you need it most! Check out the many free dynamic domain name servers available to allow you to address your home computer by a domain name instead of having to know its constantly changing IP address.
So how undetectable is it? Well, a real computer expert can detect the presence of MagicCrak. There are basically two ways of detecting it. We won't tell you what they are. If you are an expert, you will find them. Most people dumb enough to contemplate stealing your computer will not have enough brains to detect MagicCrak.
Can MagicCrak be abused? Definitely!!! Any power tool can be abused. That's why we require special arrangements and payment of a fee to enable the remote control feature. We think the positive value of this software far outweighs its negative potential. The basic rule is, if your computer has data that you don't want compromised, don't connect it to the internet. This is the primary security policy used by the military and classified government computers. You should follow their lead. There are many ways of compromising your computer. You should be more paranoid if this does not bother you.
