immurok is a small wireless fingerprint authentication device for Mac and Linux desktops. It is designed for people who use external keyboards, Mac desktops, Linux machines, and terminal-heavy workflows where password prompts interrupt the flow. The Linux side uses a CLI/TUI app plus PAM integration for sudo and system authentication. The Mac side includes a menu bar app, PAM integration for admin prompts, and a separate helper path for lock-screen workflows. Project goals: - wireless desktop fingerprint key - fingerprint matching on the device - Linux sudo/system auth through PAM - Linux CLI/TUI app - Mac desk setup support - source-available firmware/software (BSL 1.1 → Apache 2.0 in 2030) - elegant enclosure suitable for daily desk use This project log will cover firmware, BLE, PAM integration, CLI/TUI design, enclosure iterations, security model, and preparation for a Kickstarter hardware launch.
