Disabling Keys

[Spinal]

A query...

I'm organising a stand for infoSec, and amongst other things want to have a laptop handy to allow people to sign-up to the rally.

That said, having been to infoSec a few times before, I want to ensure that the laptop doesn't have anything more than the bare minimum keys.

Hence, I want to disable CTRL, ALT, DEL, TAB, ESC, all the function keys, etc... basically, I just need SHIFT, the letters and the numbers.

I can connect a wired keyboard/screen - but short of glueing the keys; does anyone know of any software that sandboxes the user out? It still requires internet access (the form is on our website).

(and before anyone says it - yes, I do plan on wiping the machine just in case, both before and after)

You just need to install some 'kiosk software' there are plenty about, some are open source and free.

I think this is the one I've used in the past. http://openkiosk.sourceforge.net/

Alternatively have a look at Microsoft Steady State.

There is some freeware called KeyTweak that may serve your needs.

Although it has technical limitations it should do the job.

Here's another one to consider.

Didn't think of a live distro! Doh - it's perfect!

Thanks (now to dig out an old machine from somewhere)
