goTrack

goTrack aims to replace usb killer projects like usbkill by hephaest0s in Go and with the idea to be extended to more than usb devices to track.

Build

Just run

go build

Run

Run it with -h for help or -n to test without executing any destructive commands

goTrack -h

goTrack is meant to be run as root.

Installation

Place the executable at /usr/local/bin/goTrack and the config file at /etc/goTrack.yaml.

Config

The config file should be easy to understand, here is how you set the commands to be executed in worst case:

commands:
  - command: "shutdown" # Command
    args: # Arguments as strings
      - "0"
    late: true # Set true to execute commands after others
    usb: true # Set true to execute command on usb changes

command is the terminal command to be executed if goTrack detects a not ignored change. args are the arguments for that command late Commands are executed in two queues: late=false commands will guaranteed be executed before late=true commands. Commands with the same late state are meant to be executed in order but that is not guaranteed. usb commands with this parameter set to true will be executed with an usb-change detected by goTrack. This is meant for later extensions of goTrack to track other changes.

ignoredIDs:
- "Test"

Includes ignored IDs for usb tracking. Those IDs can be seen if goTrack -n is run. Example:

ignoredIDs:
- "1234:5678"
- "ABCD:9876"

Future Work

In the future this project can be extended with the ability to check:

• Network devices: Track for active connection
• Web services: Track if service is reachable uns responsive
• Events: React to events like shortcuts
• Timer: React if some timings are reached (period, time stamp)
