This script will take a snapshot on failed login attempts, email it to my main email account, and also send a text-over-email message, letting me know someone is currently trying to login to my laptop, to my Verizon Wireless cellphone using the email address: If you're not on Verizon, you'll need to find what your phone's email is. ***Mac OS X iSight snapshot email on failed login attempts*** Seems a lot of people are still looking to do, so here is a very simple procedure that will get this working on Mountain Lion and can easily be modified for older versions. I loved the idea behind authsight and will be grateful if someone can help me get this working on my m/c too!

Tue Jul 10 19:32:41 2007 authsightd CAPTURE ON Inspite of all these changes, I still wont get any pictures in the /var/log/authfail folder. I can successfully run isightcapture without sudo and I changed permissions of /var/log/authfail as suggested earlier in the thread. There are one or two of these for OS X, but these are generally limited and I couldn't find one with a hook for failed login attempts. In the old days, there were several programs that would let you do such things under OS 9. It would be fun to hook star trek sounds into other events as well. We've set an "Access granted" sound to play as a login item. My son and I enjoy having the Star Trek computer voice announce "Access denied" on a failed login or wake up attempt. (I'm not a real perl programmer, I just play one on TV.).
My($result) = `open "/Users/Shared/star trek sounds/Computer - access denied.wav"` Next, I modified the action line in the perl script to:
(I'd be happy to know if there's a better way to simply play a sound file from the command line) I've placed these in a folder in /Users/Shared/star trek sounds/. wav fille sounds that I got on the internet. I've got Play Sound installed ( ) and have associated this as the default application for some star trek.

But I have been wondering how to hook into a failed login attempt in order to play a sound. Nice hint! I'm less worred about loosing my laptop, as it doesn't leave home very much.
