Description

Physical tamper response can shut the computer down when USB devices appear or disappear. usbkill-git is for high-risk security scenarios where a sudden port change should trigger an immediate shutdown rather than leave the session available.

Run it only with a clear recovery plan and unsaved-work expectations. It can power off the machine, interrupt storage writes, disrupt input devices, and may need elevated privileges to be useful.
