[SPEC] Tracking Ian

[maxim]

What about triangulation of a cell phone?

[jbd]

Considering Gunter's call on stolena3, I find it much more likely they are tracking the car based on something provided by Gunter himself.

To prevent the decryption program from being copied, there'd have to be some sort of routine resident in memory (and stealth so it'd be hard for Ian to find). That same loop can provide a GPS ping at intervals. (It can't be constant, because it'd a.) drain power too much and b.) if it was constant, the goons would've got Ian already.)

I have an idea how this would work and might attempt a mock-up code at some point.

if the phone / pda / car has gprs, then it can be easily located. there are services in the uk that can track any mobile phone number (the phone has to sign up for it...officially) like http://www.childlocate.co.uk
