proof of concept :

Why?

Some reasons to use this tool:

In case the police or other thugs come busting in (or steal your laptop from you when you are at a public library as happened to Ross). The police commonly uses a « mouse jiggler » to keep the screensaver and sleep mode from activating.

You don’t want someone to retrieve documents (such as private keys) from your computer or install malware/backdoors via USB.

You want to improve the security of your (Full Disk Encrypted) home or corporate server (e.g. Your Raspberry).

Feature List :

(version 1.0-rc.4)

Compatible with Linux, *BSD and OS X.

Shutdown the computer when there is USB activity.

Customizable. Define which commands should be executed just before shut down.

Ability to whitelist a USB device.

Ability to change the check interval (default: 250ms).

Ability to melt the program on shut down.

RAM and swap wiping.

Works with sleep mode (OS X).

No dependency except secure-delete iff you want usbkill to delete files/folders for you or if you want to wipe RAM or swap. sudo apt-get install secure-delete

Sensible defaults

Supported command line arguments (partially for devs):

-h or --help: show help message, exit.

--version: show version of the program, exit.

--no-shut-down: if a malicious change on the USB ports is detected, execute all the (destructive) commands you defined in settings.ini, but don’t turn off the computer.

--cs: Copy program folder settings.ini to /etc/usbkill/settings.ini
