ritridata

ritridata is a Rust command-line tool for read-only inspection of disk images and synthetic image generation. It reads MBR and GPT partition metadata, checks GPT header and entry-array CRCs, reports bounds and overlapping partitions, reads sectors and byte ranges, produces hex dumps and hashes, and exposes public file-signature definitions through ID lookup. Its generator creates blank, MBR, and GPT test images, including synthetic invalid-CRC and truncated fixtures, with JSON output for structured commands.

Overview

The tool operates offline and accepts regular .img, .raw, and .dd files; input images are opened read-only, while generated files use an exclusive new-file operation. It does not scan or carve files, parse filesystems, recover deleted data, repair images, or substitute GPT backup entries for an invalid primary. The repository is licensed under AGPL-3.0-only.
