ThiefCapture

This plugin is inspired by this NYT-article. It offers a new command on XMPP via the ad-hoc server built into Adium since SoC 2007. When you log in to the same account from another computer (with a different resource), it allows you to tell the other Adium instance to Capture a photo using the iSight camera built into all of the recent MacBooks and MacBook Pros (or any other WebCam connected to the machine in case it doesn`t have one built-in) and send it to you via the XMPP server (in-band to avoid firewall issues), and additionally respond with a list of the public IP addresses of the other Mac. To activate it, log in on both Macs using Adium with this plugin installed, and then navigate to the account`s submenu in the File menu, and select "Capture Thief (X)" where X is the resource of the machine with the camera. The victim can only see a short flash of the webcam activity LED, but then it`s already too late. Of course, there are other applications for this, too. It requires at least Mac OS X 10.5, two Macs (one with a webcam obviously), Adium 1.2.5 and an XMPP account.
