This isn't dead, is it?

[dgramop]

I certainly hope not! What makes you think it's dead?

The last commit was over six months ago.

[dgramop]

It might be finished. What more features does it need?

You would still want regular updates and status checks to make sure it still works right.

@BrainyBrian especially #81 would be very useful.

Hey guys, I'm not going to do any development on the core code, but I'll be creating a simpler application bundle for Mac OS soon. I hope to make it accessible to a larger audience.

@sebmellen Cant wait!

@Rich700000000000, This project looks pretty dead to me, @hephaest0s hasn't done anything on GitHub since July 30, 2016.

[dgramop]

Interesting... Is someone gonna take this over?

I would also like to see someone taking it over. I've sent an email to the maintainer.

[Rich700000000000]

Why do all of the really good repos just die?

[Lvl4Sword]

I wouldn't mind taking over.

Almost a full 2 years later! Alright! I'm excited.

I'm thinking about a similar killswitch with some u2f style authorization token that plugs in and constantly exchanges challenge/response to make sure that the connected token inside is legit, and that nobody tried exploiting sleep or some USB driver or USB Hub or something. And other periferals like serial devices.. what about those?

I remember using either this repo or a similar one on my mac and putting the mac into sleep or closing the lid or something and being able to swap some usbs. I think it depends on how you configure logout or lock.

I've already taken over. https://github.com/Dreadysa/USBKill-revived/

I've fixed some of the issues listed as well as poor implementation.

If somebody is still interested in a revived and modernized version, here we go ☺️
