password protect terminal in python+windows

[proxx]

A ctrl-c can easily be caught with a try/except.

For example:

Code: [Select]

def inf(secret):
           try:
                      attempt = 0
                      while secret != attempt:
                               attempt = raw_input(">")
                      return 0
           except:
                      inf('secret')

def main():
        inf('abc')


Its not a clean solution but it catches the ctrl-c .
The only thing im still strugling with is how to catch the ctrl-z background thingy.

Use exec to replace the shell process with the python one. The python script will have to replace itself with a new shell process when the right password is input.

kbint.py

Code: (python) [Select]

#!/usr/bin/env python
import os

def inf(secret):
    try:
        attempt = 0
        while secret != attempt:
            attempt = raw_input(">")
        os.execv("/bin/sh", ["sh"])
    except:
        inf(secret)

inf("abc")


Code: [Select]

$ exec ./kbint.py
