Features

• Physical Port Security - Secures physical ports by triggering system shutdown when unauthorized USB devices are connected.
• Shutdown Hooks - Executes designated cleanup binaries and destructive commands as shutdown hooks during system power-off.
• USB Device Identification - Detects and distinguishes USB hardware peripherals to automate security responses and lockdown procedures.
• USB Activity Shutdown Triggers - Triggers immediate power-off sequences when unauthorized USB device changes are detected.
• USB Device Connection Watchers - Implements event-driven monitoring to detect USB device connection and disconnection events in real time.
• Anti-Forensic Data Protection - Prevents data recovery from volatile storage by wiping memory and swap space during emergency power-off.
• Power Management - Controls system power states to force a hard stop of the operating system upon security triggers.
• Secure Data Erasure - Ensures data cannot be recovered from memory by forensic-level overwriting of RAM and swap space.
• Physical Access Defense Tools - Provides a security utility that automates system termination upon hardware tampering to prevent forensic recovery.
• Volatile Memory Wipers - Executes destructive commands to erase RAM and swap space before the system shuts down.
• Volatile Memory Overwriting - Wipes RAM and swap space with random data to prevent forensic data recovery before power-off.
• Sequential Task Execution - Executes a strict linear sequence of cleanup scripts and binaries before initiating system shutdown.
• USB Device Whitelist Managers - Manages a configuration of trusted hardware to prevent accidental shutdowns during legitimate usage.
• Hardware Device Whitelists - Matches connected device IDs against a trusted list to prevent accidental shutdowns during authorized use.
