Adeona is the first Open Source system for tracking the location of your lost or stolen laptop that does not rely on a proprietary, central service.
This means that you can install Adeona on your laptop and go — there's no need to rely on a single third party. What's more, Adeona addresses a critical privacy goal different from existing commercial offerings. It is privacy-preserving. This means that no one besides the owner (or an agent of the owner's choosing) can use Adeona to track a laptop. Unlike other systems, users of Adeona can rest assured that no one can abuse the system in order to track where they use their laptop.
Adeona is designed to use the Open Source OpenDHT distributed storage service to store location updates sent by a small software client installed on an owner's laptop. The client continually monitors the current location of the laptop, gathering information (such as IP addresses and local network topology) that can be used to identify its current location. The client then uses strong cryptographic mechanisms to not only encrypt the location data, but also ensure that the ciphertexts stored within OpenDHT are anonymous and unlinkable. At the same time, it is easy for an owner to retrieve location information.
This version of Adeona has the option to capture pictures using the built-in iSight camera.
Adeona works on Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5.

Additionally, Adeona ensures your privacy via advanced cryptographic methodology, allowing only the owner -or the owner's agent -to use the system to track a lost or stolen laptop.Adiona 5, the Roman goddess of safe returns, lends her name to this remarkable open source offering. Adeona is designed to use the Open Source OpenDHT distributed storage service to store location updates sent by a small software client installed on an owner’s laptop. The client continually monitors the current location of the laptop, gathering information (such as IP addresses and local network topology) that can be used to identify its.
Adeona Mac Os Update
- To install Adeona, run: $ tar xzf adeona-0.2.1.tar.gz $ cd adeona/ $./configure $ sudo make install. By default, the installer script will install Adeona in /usr/local/adeona. To make sure it runs during system startup, the Adeona client program relies on cron: $ sudo crontab -e.
- Adeona, which is named after the Roman goddess of safe returns is the first free and open source system for laptop tracking. This system is the result of the academic research done as University of Washington. Adeona does not rely on a proprietary, central service.
- Jul 15, 2008 Open source and free: Adeona’s software is licensed under GPLv2. While your locations are secret, the tracking system’s design is not. The Mac OS X version can capture pictures of the laptop user or thief using the built-in iSight camera.
