Windows Hello without IR emitters on linux machines.
It uses PAM(Pluggable Authentication Modules) so it works on login screen, sudo and su on the terminal.
Pre-Install
Before we continue first we need to get dlib and go face going
Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 18.04
You may use dlib PPA which contains latest dlib package compiled with Intel MKL support:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kagamih/dlib
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdlib-dev libjpeg-turbo8-dev
Ubuntu 18.10+, Debian sid
Latest versions of Ubuntu and Debian provide suitable dlib package so just run:
# Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install libdlib-dev libopenblas-dev libjpeg-turbo8-dev
# Debian
sudo apt-get install libdlib-dev libopenblas-dev libjpeg62-turbo-dev
ONLY FOR UBUNTU 18.10+ AND DEBIAN SID:
It won't install pkgconfig metadata file so create one in
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/dlib-1.pc with the following content:
libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
includedir=/usr/include
Name: dlib
Description: Numerical and networking C++ library
Version: 19.10.0
Libs: -L${libdir} -ldlib -lblas -llapack
Cflags: -I${includedir}
Requires:
Installation
From binary
Download the lastest compiled version here
Then run:
sudo ./main install
From source
git clone https://github.com/Pettrus/go-face-unlock.git
cd go-face-unlock
go get github.com/Kagami/go-face
go build main.go camera.go facialRecognition.go file.go
Finally run the installer:
sudo ./main install
The script will take a picture of you to use as base for the facial recognition, so stand still and be on a well lit room for this first photo.
After installation everything should be working, open a new terminal and type some sudo command to see it working.
Add new pictures
You can add more pictures to improve the recognition, for that use the command:
sudo ./main add
Uninstall
sudo ./main uninstall
Security
This script is by no mean a secure way to unlock your computer, just a convenient way to do it, if someone looks limilar to you or just a printed photo of you could fool the script.
