🚨 USB Threat Scanner Pro in Python | Cybersecurity Project with CustomTkinter GUI

















━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━


📖 Introduction


In this tutorial, we will build a modern USB Threat Scanner Pro using Python and CustomTkinter.


This professional desktop cybersecurity application allows users to select a USB drive or folder, scan files for suspicious extensions and risky file patterns, calculate security risk scores, generate SHA-256 file hashes, detect potential threats, and quarantine detected files through a modern dark-themed security dashboard.


This Python cybersecurity project is perfect for learning Python GUI development, file scanning, heuristic threat detection, cybersecurity concepts, file hashing, threading, quarantine systems, and modern desktop application design using CustomTkinter.
