USB Buddy is a MacOS tool that monitors USB devices. In the case it detects someone plugging in or unplugging devices it can be configured to send you an SMS or alert you via Slack of the potential security breach. I have based this tool off https://github.com/probablynotablog/usb-canary thanks errbufferoverfl
I'm not a real hacker and INSERT JOKE ABOUT The Year of Linux on the desktop. I run MacOS Seria and the port of USB Carany to Mac is not yet complete. I can write a bit of code and have always want to create a native Mac Application.
While I created the integration to Twilio, I got lazy and integrated SlackKit. You can find all you need to know about it here https://github.com/pvzig/SlackKit
Clone, compile and run.
If you don't have XCode then you are in luck. I have compiled the latest version which you can find here
The following will outline the basic steps to deploying USB Canary to Slack and Twilio. As extra services are added, please ensure you add appropriate documentation with your PR.
To use the Twilio intergration you will need to get an:
- Auth Token
- Account SID
- Twilio Mobile Number with SMS support
To use the Slack integration you will need to setup a bot user
- No Error reporting, if something has gone wrong chances are you will not know.
- Sometimes preferences don't get loaded again after opening the preferences screen twice
