[WIP] Prey - antitheft system

1 Attachment(s)

I have decided to create a seperate thread for Prey on Sailfish, as I believe this is close enough to be working, allthough with some small efforts still needed to be changed in configuration files manually.

My version of prey is on my openrepos for you to test. It should install needed extra packages as needed (openssl-1.0.1f, perl modules and Imagemagick)

I am still working on a few features missing.
* Streaming video from cam (I believe we need a more recent gstreamer for this)
* Alert (needs to find where bg image is stored)
* Lock (remember to enable Jollas lock)

What is working:
* Get geo location
* Get network information
* Get active connections
* Get nearby hotspots
* Traceroute
* Get running programs
* Currently logged in user
* NEW Screenshot (has a red colour)
* NEW Alarm

There is some manual configuration to do after installing the rpm:

Edit:

Code:

/usr/share/prey/config

add your API key to the line (see image)
Get it from https://panel.preyproject.com/profile

Code:

api_key=''

add your email to the line

Code:

mail_to='mailbox@domain.com'

change these lines to fit your email/ISP

Code:

smtp_server='smtp.gmail.com:587'

smtp_username='username@gmail.com'

smtp_password='password'

Note that password above is base64 encrypted, you can get your base64 password like this

Code:

$ echo -n "password" | openssl enc -base64

UPDATE prey.service and prey.timer are now placed in /etc/systemd/system/ folder by installation of the rpm file, no need to manually create them, also, service is started and timer enabled

When you run (as root)

/usr/share/prey/prey.sh

first time, it should register the device, and give some terminal output that will show you wheter the connection/registration is successfull.
The device will be identified at prey as being 'linux' you cn edit this name to fx 'Jolla'.

To query status of prey, you can use
systemctl status prey.timer and
systemctl status prey.service

Changelog:
2805-2014 Version update
requires cron (fcron)
bugfixes (missing laptop-detect
0703-2014 Changed script to sound alarm, added systemd service and timer files, enables service and starts timer by rpm installation
0603-2014 Added fbcat as a requirement and added a (buggy) screenshot capability (picture has a red teint).

Here are the source of the Prey build on my openrepos
They are all from official sources, untouched and can be build using attached spec files with rpmbuild.

My QT programming is just beginning, so, do feel free to use this for creating a nice GUI to configure and monitor Prey :)

Re: [WIP] Prey - antitheft system

Thanks a lot for you effort! I am looking forward to giving this a try. I just got one question regarding the whole setup: I want to install the Prey server software on my own VPS, but I somehow can't seem to find the source code. Would you be so kind to post a link to it in your first post?

Re: [WIP] Prey - antitheft system

Thank you nieldk! Great work!

At the first post into the CODE section correct :

# Start timer, as root
systemctl start myscript.timer
# Enable timer to start at boot
systemctl enable myscript.timer

in

# Start timer, as root
systemctl start prey.service
# Enable timer to start at boot
systemctl enable prey.timer

Re: [WIP] Prey - antitheft system

A little update :)
I found a screencaptur program, that does work. It has an issue with the screenshot being tinted red.
It is quite easy to install, and use.

You will need to edit:
/usr/share/prey/modules/session/platform/linux/functions

to this

Code:

get_screenshot() {

 run_as_current_user "/usr/bin/fbgrab $session__screenshot"

}

the code is here: https://code.google.com/p/fbcat/

EDIT: I have created an rpm file on my openrepos.

EDIT: Updated version of prey on openrepos, to include fbcat to enable this - still buggy - feature. I believe its useful, even if the screenshot has a reddish teing to it.

Re: [WIP] Prey - antitheft system

Why don't you use dbus to take a screenshot?

Code:

dbus-send --session --type=method_call --dest=org.nemomobile.lipstick /org/nemomobile/lipstick/screenshot org.nemomobile.lipstick.saveScreenshot  string:/home/nemo/Pictures/screenshot_tmp.png

I installed it on my server as explained on the readme and it works but for production, I'd like to use apache2 with a NameVirtualHost.

However I didn't manage to configure everything correctly for ruby on rails and prey control panel. If anybody did, it would be great to share the howto :)

You will need something like this for this to work (doesnt work though)

Code:

 

get_screenshot() {

 eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax`

 run_as_current_user "dbus-send --address=$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS --type=method_call --dest=org.nemomobile.lipstick

# run_as_current_user "/usr/bin/fbgrab $session__screenshot"

}

Re: [WIP] Prey - antitheft system

New update out:
Alarm sounds is now working (using gst-launch-0.10 with ffmpeg plugin)

Also, prey.service and prey.timer files are created automatically, and enabled/started by the rpm script.

Re: [WIP] Prey - antitheft system

After the update to 1.0.4.20 all the configs of Prey has gone...

No more files into :
/etc/systemd/system

and no prey's script into :
/usr/share/prey/

I hope in the future that the jolla team will improve the OS update in a better way...
Every new OS it's, at the moment, a new beginning! :-)

Re: [WIP] Prey - antitheft system

Well, PREY is not your normal "userland application", it is more a feature of the OS, so no wonder it is run over when core OS is updated :D

That will happen in the future again, too, unless Prey is made into integral part of the OS... :D

But yes, you will need to re-install prey and related packages again after upgrade.

Even though my repo is 'down' until further, you are still able to download packages manually and install locally using zypper.

2014-03-18 11:17

Re: [WIP] Prey - antitheft system

And after downloading and installing said packages you can try the ui I made:

openrepos.net/content/solbrit/preyui

It's a basic settings ui for those afraid of config file editing in dark, scary terminal windows.

- It requires pyotherside.
- At the moment registration takes a while (because prey.sh pauses for x seconds). Ideally a progressbar should be put in there.
- The status output is raw console output and could be cleaned up and displayed differently to be easier to read. I'll get around to that.

EDIT - rpm is moved to OpenRepos

and it still works after i updated my phone this morning.

Re: [WIP] Prey - antitheft system

Update does not remove any packages. My quess is that you accidentally removed it, or the package had some depencies that were conflicting on system update.

And, yes, integrated version is beeing tested internally, so it is coming at some point.

- Added start/stop button for prey.service

- Moved settings and registration buttons to pulldown menu

- No buttons except status work without setting correct root password first

Re: [WIP] Prey - antitheft system

Hmm, I somehow lost track of prey.timer when updating the ui. I'm adding it to the start/stop button to enable/disable .timer and .service simultaneously. This should make more sense seeing as how disabling .service only won't keep it from running when called by timer, right? Correct me if I'm wrong...

Re: [WIP] Prey - antitheft system

I did some changed to the code of prey. You can found them here: https://github.com/holgern/prey-bash-client

Now Changing of excution intervall is possible! between 10min, 15min, 20min, 30min, 40min, 50min and 1 h.

This is done by 7 different timer files. prey-10min.timer, ... and prey-hourly.timer.

If the device is set to missing, then the excution is set to one of these time :10min, 15min, 20min, 30min, 40min, 50min. This can be done by setting Frequency of reports/actions in the prey control website.

After setting the device status to ok, the interval changes back to hourly.

I fixed a small bug with the screenshot, as it was not working for me.

That's what I thought, my bad.
With timer active prey.service should run once every hour, meaning checking your device on https://panel.preyproject.com/devices should never show Offline for >1 hour, right? In my case only running prey.service manually will update the info on url though, suggesting the timer doesn't actually call prey.service, or have I understood it all wrong? :confused:

However, this may be missed, for example, the device goes to sleep. It will then call again on the next hour, depending if the device is not sleeping/have Internet access etc.
Calling the prey.service (or even the prey.sh script) manually, yes, that will trigger a login, notifying prey servers that the device has activated and responding to the device with actions to take.
So, the prey.timer calls prey.service, just as you could do manually.

Thanks, that explains it, it's the whole Jolla-when-sleeping-is-dead-to-the-world deal. This can make communication a bit tricky for Prey I suppose.

it will report eventually, in my experience worst case between contact is around 4 hours, this could possibly be reduced with a more agressive timer. But I think the 1 hr setting is an Ok compromise for service/battery/reliability and assurance. Best is if lock-code is set by user obviously. I hope to further expand this to include the option to enable lock code remotely - perhaps Jolla will incorporate this better eventually :)

Re: [WIP] Prey - antitheft system

Enabling a timer is not enough. I changed the code, so that after a timer is enabled, he is also started. Otherwise, the timer would work only after a reboot.

So

Quote:

systemctl enable prey.timer

enables the timer, but he is executed after a reboot.

Quote:

systemctl start prey.timer

enables the timer instantly.

Yes, starting timer is needed - or reboot.
I didnt start the timer, since the config file was needing update with the owners API key, before this would work anyways.

Yes, no problem.
What needs to be recompiled actually only is perl modules

IO::Socket::SSL and Net::SSLeay

And those you can easy do by using cpan

cpan install IO::Socket::SSL
cpan install Net::SSLeay

allthough, you will need to install development tools to do that.
But, I will compile all during the next days.

Re: [WIP] Prey - antitheft system

Here goes, the final update of the UI:

v0.1-4

- Registration output in real time (and possible registration abort)
- Timer state updated and always displayed on main page
- Various fixes (Python mostly) and graphical nick nacks

https://openrepos.net/content/solbrit/preyui

"Final" is ofcourse an optimistic expectation that'll keep me going until the first critical bug is reported :D

All times are GMT. The time now is 02:47.
