chassis_intru_scanner

Minimal script that will poll the status of the chassis intrusion by reading the output of the ipmitool sdr list command. It checks for a value of 0x01, which means that the chassis has been intruded. If the chassis is found to be intruded upon, it will trigger a user-defined command or script. Using Systemd is recommended.

Tested On:

Operating Systems:

• Proxmox VE 8
• Debian 12 bookworm

Hardware:

• SuperMicro X9

Usage

# Install impitool
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install ipmitool
# Install chassis_intru_scanner
git clone https://git.willys.zone/Willy/chassis_intru_scanner.git
cd chassis_intru_scanner
# The script MUST be run as root/sudo to be able to poll data from ipmitool!
sudo python3 chassis_intru_scanner.py --help

Example

Run the script with a 3-second startup delay, and if Chassis is intruded, run the command echo foobar. Only if chassis was intruded, wait 5 seconds to check again.

sudo python3 chassis_intru_scanner.py -cmd '/usr/bin/echo foobar' -sd 3 -rd 5
