Hello Hacker Public Radio. This is Toujet again. Been a while since I did my last podcast,
|
|
so I thought I was more than overdue. If you like me, you probably have a few USP keys laying around
|
|
and came up with a little project I did with them just trying to experiment and learn some new
|
|
technology. I've actually turned a USB thumb drive into a USB key. It's a little script with
|
|
combo of a Pearl script installation. It uses SS key jam to generate keys for locking and unlocking.
|
|
It uses UDEV for actions for when you plug and unplug the drives. It uses bash for the actual
|
|
script for doing locking the unlocking and the key checking. It did run into a little problem with
|
|
UDEV. I had events set up so that when you plug in the drive, it would unlock and unplug the drive.
|
|
It would lock, but the problem I was running into is that when it was unlocking, I couldn't access
|
|
the file system on the drive. I found that there is a change event as well. Using the change event,
|
|
I'm able to actually have the plug-in of the drive unlock it, but then the change event,
|
|
which occurs when the drive is actually mounted, it can check the key and if the key is not the
|
|
right key, then it locks it again. It's short distance and it's unlocked, but that seems to work
|
|
pretty good. It generates a unique key combination for the server and the USB drive so you can use
|
|
the same drive on multiple computers or you can use multiple thumb drives on the same computer.
|
|
The website https.james.tobusacademy.com slash usbkey.html has the installation and links
|
|
for the script so you can download the scripts. Give it a quick try, let me know what you think and
|
|
have fun.
