Undercover 3.2
Undercover is a very serviceable tool which routinely checks with the Undercover server. more>>
Undercover 3.2 is a very serviceable tool which routinely checks with the Undercover server. In case of theft, the Mac's unique Undercover ID is added to the list on the Undercover server, initiating the recovery process. During the recovery phase, Undercover transmits its current location on the internet, enabling the Undercover team to identify the computer's exact physical location. Moreover, Undercover also sends screenshots of the stolen Mac, revealing details of the thief's identity. The Undercover recovery center will then work with law enforcement to recover the Mac.
In case recovery fails, the software has an ingenious plan B: it will simulate a hardware failure, urging the thief to send the computer in for repair or sell it. As soon as the thief gets rid of the Mac, Undercover will warn the new user that the Mac has been stolen and that it should be returned as soon as possible. The computer will shout from time to time that it has been stolen and Undercover will take over the screen, displaying how the Mac can be returned while making the computer unusable.
Enhancements:
- This update fixes a problem of increased network traffic that a small number of customers experienced with Undercover 3.1 on Snow Leopard.
- This update is recommended for all users.

safecopy 1.3
A free and open source tool for recovering data from damaged sources more>> A free and open source tool for recovering data from damaged sources
safecopy is an open source data recovery tool which tries to extract as much data as possible from a problematic (i.e. damaged sectors) source - like floppy drives, CDs, tape devices, harddisk partitions, ..., where other tools like dd would fail doe to I/O errors.
A main problem with damaged storage hardware is, that once you get an unrecoverable IO error further reading from the file / device often fails until the file has been closed and re-opened.
The normal copy tools like cat, cp or dd do not allow creation of an image file from a disk or CD-ROM once reading of a sector failed.
Safecopy tries to get as much data from the source as possible, even resorting to device specific low level operations if applicable.
Enhancements
- Safecopy has been internally redesigned to improve reliability and predictability of behavior.
- It now comes with a textual behavior specification and a self test suite, complete... with a glibc wrapper library to simulate IO errors on virtual files.
- Blocksize autodetection now also works in combination with low level device access. Blocksizes can now be specified as a percentage of the file size or as multiples of the hardware blocksize, making these options much easier to use.
- New option presets provide shortcuts for multi-stage data rescue with minimum commandline typing effort
