USB Device Monitor

#Some Screenshots of it in action

A cross-platform Python script for monitoring USB device plug-in and removal events on Linux, Windows, and macOS.

Features

• Logs USB device connections and disconnections.
• Supports Linux, Windows, and macOS.
• Outputs logs to both the console and a file (usb_monitor.log).
• Graceful termination with Ctrl+C.

Requirements

Linux

• Python 3.x
• pyudev library

Windows

• Python 3.x
• pywin32 library

macOS

• Python 3.x

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/BaseMax/USB-device-monitor.git
   cd USB-device-monitor

2. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Run the script directly:

python usb_device_monitor.py

The script will start monitoring USB devices and log events to the console and usb_monitor.log.

How It Works

• Linux: Uses the pyudev library to monitor USB device events.
• Windows: Utilizes the Windows API to handle USB device changes.
• macOS: Leverages system_profiler to detect USB device state changes.
