Prey 1.13.41 – Anti-Theft solution

Prey lets you keep track and find your laptop, phone and tablet whenever stolen or missing – easily and all in one place. This lightweight, open source software gives you full and remote control, 24/7.

You can quickly find out what the thief looks like, what he’s doing on your device and actually where he’s hiding by using GPS or WiFi geopositioning. It’s payback time.

How it works: Basically you install a tiny agent in your PC or phone, which silently waits for a remote signal to wake up and work its magic.

This signal is sent either from the Internet or through an SMS message. And it allows you to gather information regarding the device’s location, hardware and network status, and optionally trigger specific actions on it.

You can quickly find out where your computer is located, who’s using it, and what he’s doing on it thanks to Prey’s powerful reports system. By marking your device as missing, Prey will gather all the evidence you request and send it either to your Control Panel account or directly to your mailbox, depending on the reporting method you choose.

Besides gathering information, you can also trigger actions remotely. Such as sounding a loud alarm or showing a message which will appear onscreen. Just in case you want the guy to know he’s being chased at. You can also wipe your stored passwords for security, or even lock down your PC to prevent access. In other words, you’re in control.

Prey Features:

• 100% geolocation aware. Prey uses either the device’s GPS or the nearest WiFi hotspots to triangulate and grab a fix on its location. It’s shockingly accurate.
• Wifi autoconnect. If enabled, Prey will attempt to hook onto to the nearest open WiFi hotspot when no Internet connection is found.
• Light as a feather. Prey has very few dependencies and doesn’t even leave a memory footprint until activated. We care as much as you do.
• Know your enemy. Take a picture of the thief with your laptop’s webcam so you know what he looks like and where he’s hiding. Powerful evidence.
• Watch their movements. Grab a screenshot of the active session. If you’re lucky you may catch the guy logged into his email or Facebook account!
• Keep your data safe. Hide your Outlook or Thunderbird data and optionally remove your stored passwords, so no one will be able to look into your stuff.
• No unauthorized access. Fully lock down your PC, making it unusable unless a specific password is entered. The guy won’t be able to do a thing!
• Scan your hardware. Get a complete list of your PC’s CPU, motherboard, RAM, and BIOS information. Works great when used with Active Mode.
• Full auto updater. Prey can check its current version and automagically fetch and update itself, so you don’t need to manually reinstall each time.

Changes in Version 1.13.41:

• Feat: Added a macOS lock IPC server so the agent can drive the bundled Prey app to lock the device, improving lock reliability on macOS.
• Feat: Added a GNOME Shell extension–based lock for Linux desktops, improving lock reliability, and refreshed the bundled GTK lock helpers.
• Fix: Reduced the number of PowerShell processes the agent spawns on Windows, avoiding Windows Defender CPU spikes.
• Fix: Ensured the log retrieval action always signals completion, so the command queue is released and subsequent actions are not blocked.
• Fix: Prevented a Windows upgrade crash (EROFS) and ensured a complete rollback that restores the current version when an upgrade fails.
• Fix: Hardened macOS hardware collection so get_firmware_info no longer crashes when the device model name is missing.
• Chore: Updated the bundled prey-user helper to 1.0.11 to improve network information reporting.
• Chore: Updated wpxsvc to version 2.0.36.

Changes in Version 1.13.39:

• Feat: Added tracking_schedule support to control which days and time windows forced location can run; unified boot-time and runtime settings processing into a single shared path.
• Fix: Hardened all Windows exec calls in system detection functions against synchronous EROFS and EPERM errors; removed -NoProfile to avoid unnecessary PowerShell profile loading.
• Fix: WebSocket action responses now retry indefinitely every 30 s until the server ACKs delivery, replacing the previous 10-attempt cap that could silently drop responses.
• Fix: Errors with an err.level property are now skipped from exception reporting, providing a lightweight opt-out for non-fatal errors that should not reach telemetry.
• Fix: Fixed a null-emitter crash in the hostname trigger when a pending async SQLite callback fires after stop() has already cleared the emitter reference.
• Fix: handleError now preserves all properties of the original Error object when wrapping exceptions; a bare throw in the command handler is replaced with a callback error to prevent unhandled crashes.
• Chore: Updated dependencies to resolve npm audit security vulnerabilities.
