In an era where cyber threats are advancing rapidly, USB devices remain a deceptively simple yet potent means of attack. A single careless action by an employee鈥攕uch as plugging in an unknown USB鈥攃an lead to serious data breaches, financial loss, and organizational disruption. PortSentry addresses this vulnerability by transforming a common threat into a proactive training and assessment tool. Our system uses custom Raspberry Pi Pico-based USB devices to emulate real-world attack scenarios and collect key behavioral and system metrics, including timestamps, OS versions, USB serial numbers, and user interaction data. These data points are then analyzed and visualized through the Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana (ELK Stack) to assess security awareness and identify risky behaviors. PortSentry helps organizations identify risky behaviors, monitor security awareness trends, and implement targeted cybersecurity training. Further testing will be conducted in a controlled environment to evaluate the device鈥檚 functionality, reliability, and data collection accuracy. Simulated interactions allows us to confirm successful HID emulation, consistent data capture, and real-time ingestion into the ELK pipeline. Though not yet deployed organization-wide, these preliminary tests demonstrate PortSentry鈥檚 viability as a low-cost, scalable solution for USB security awareness training. It bridges the gap between passive cybersecurity training and hands-on user interaction by providing actionable data in a controlled, risk-free environment. By simulating an attack on a business and analyzing user responses, PortSentry empowers organizations to proactively address USB security risks in a way that educates employees on a tangible level and thus prepares for real-world cyber threats.
