>I want to have a locking door somewhere with this drive used as an authentification system

Is this what /g/ has come to?

>>59305012

I'm thinking about having it be the lock system for one of my shipping containers to be honest

>>59304946
it uses scsi connector or what?

what's your plan if the alarm sounds, OP? lmfao

>>59305073
Holy shit you might be a serial killer

>>59304946
so like a really bulky keycard...why?

>>59304946
just fill the drive with random garbage using DD, then hash the contents. store the hash, and match against it whenever a new drive is inserted.

>>59305313
Nobody uses or remembers it anymore, perhaps? SD cards is quite popular and that is risky.

why the fuck not

>>59305452
The fuck is that container for??

>>59305685
I looked inside the container, it's literally nothing. Huh, I wonder why are you wondering. Pretty much useless stuff.

>>59305685
for a Underground bunker

>>59305737
Sadly nothing substantial?

>>59304946
A raspberry pi/arduino would do this easier and more energy efficiently... than a thinkpad.

And honestly, it might be more RL useful and interesting to just learn how smartcards work rather than trying to cobble together some failure-prone device out of junk.

>>59305339
You're better than a dumb skiddie, but how would someone do a daemon that would trigger whenever a new drive was inserted? I haven't done coding on that level, just like poked around with dmesg.

Shit, I need to get back into reading more of GNU libc and the kernel. Damn these responsibilities and/or distractions.

Confirmed. OP is Fritzl!

Seems pretty solid, good luck OP!

add it as a udev rule maybe?

anything running linux would work basically. just write some bash script that hashes /dev/sdwhatever and compares the hash with some string. you could use 'aplay /dev/urandom' as the alarm i guess, it's loud and annoying enough.
