Overview
I am looking for a developer with experience in Windows scripting, automation, or cybersecurity to create a tool that runs from a USB drive and performs specific actions automatically without requiring administrator privileges. This is strictly for personal educational use on my own machine, to help me learn through reverse engineering and testing how Windows handles user restrictions and system interaction.
Project Goals
Build a proof-of-concept tool that:
Runs from a USB drive (without installation).
Automatically starts screen recording or streaming to a local or predefined URL when the USB is inserted.
Has minimal or no visible interface (stealth/silent operation).
Detects when the USB is removed, and stops recording and optionally deletes related temporary files.
Works when the logged-in user is a standard (non-admin) Windows 10/11 account with limited privileges.
Use Case
This is for educational sandbox testing and learning more about automation, scripting, and OS internals. Nothing will be run on third-party systems, and there is no interest in bypassing or exploiting systems I do not own.
Technical Requirements
Must work without requiring admin rights at runtime.
Prefer lightweight solutions using Python, PowerShell, C#, or portable tools (e.g. OBS Portable, FFmpeg).
Can use polling or event-based detection for USB presence.
Optional: include comments or short documentation explaining how the pieces work together.
Deliverables
Fully working tool with source code/scripts.
Brief guide on setup and usage.
Notes on any system prerequisites (e.g. specific drivers, permissions, or configurations).
Budget
Flexible depending on the depth of the implementation - but around $1000.
Please include your estimated timeline and cost in your proposal - ideally a month or less.
Important Notes
This is not for malicious or unauthorised activity.
I’m happy to sign an NDA or clarify further if the scope needs verification.
