Show HN: Usbatlas – simple CLI utility to see what USBIP devices are attached

https://github.com/comalice/usbatlas
2•all2•55m ago
Hello HN,

This is a simple CLI that I vibe coded to scratch an itch at work.

The problem we had was multiple USBIP devices attached to a single Linux server, and we were having a hard time seeing who connected what.

Enter `usbatlas`. It's a basic app that lives on top of the Linux device file system and depends on `usbip` [0][1]. It allows you to see what USB devices are attached to your Linux box and where they come from. Currently the device source IP resolution has some issues. I'm working out the kinks right now.

Here's an example output:

   $ usbatlas --usbip
