usbrip (derived from “USB Ripper”, not “USB R.I.P.” astonished) is an open source forensics tool with CLI interface that lets you keep track of USB device artifacts (aka USB event history, “Connected” and “Disconnected” events) on Linux machines.

usbrip is a small piece of software written in pure Python 3 (using some external modules though, see Dependencies/PIP) which parses Linux log files (/var/log/syslog* or /var/log/messages* depending on the distro) for constructing USB event history tables.
