About xxUSBSentinel

xxUSBSentinel turns a mapped USB device into a physical kill switch for a Windows computer. When the sentinel is armed, removing the chosen device triggers an immediate shutdown. This behavior can be used as a physical security measure when someone needs a computer to power down if a particular USB key or device is removed. The tool is designed for situations where encrypted drive keys may be accessible on a machine and a user wants to make physical seizure more difficult. xxUSBSentinel is intended for users who want a device-removal trigger tied to computer shutdown. Its defining behavior is direct and consequential: once armed, removal of the mapped device causes the PC to shut down immediately.
