I installed it a couple months ago. No luck yet, but I think that's because almost all of the times it's tried to send data I've been inside my company's firewall. I'm thinking of just setting up my laptop at home for a few hours and seeing if it sends anything.

it's updated a few times for me - about every 30 minutes or so (it seems to be somewhat random) i see my iSight light come on for a second or two it's a bit creepy

it also takes a shot as soon as it starts up (at the login screen) so even if someone doesn't know my password, it'll still grab a shot of them

they're having a lot of problems with openDHT right now so they're currently trying to code a version that doesn't rely on it

^Because there's no sense buying a blunt metal object when they can be improvised so readily from shit sitting around your house?
