Windows anti-forensics USB monitoring tool. First you map a Key USB device - it can be a mouse, keyboard, flash drive etc. It will ask you to plug and unplug your device. Then the program remembers the device ID (VID:PID). After that you can arm the Sentinel and it would listen for device disconnect events and if your Key USB device is unplugged - xxUSBSentinel will shutdown your computer the fast way. The whole purpose of that is to make recovering your encrypted drive keys almost impossible.
