Top 9 mbr Open-Source Projects

  • Rufus

    The Reliable USB Formatting Utility

  • Project mention: Warn if (Windows ISO) media will no longer be bootable after Q1 2024 (Rufus) | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-23
  • limine

    Modern, advanced, portable, multiprotocol bootloader.

  • Project mention: It's far from clear how grub package updates work on Ubuntu | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-13

    I assume this person meant to say `Limine'.

    It's what I use for dualbooting Windows and Linux. It's really easy to Install, Use & Understand.

  • Super-UEFIinSecureBoot-Disk

    Super UEFIinSecureBoot Disk: Boot any OS or .efi file without disabling UEFI Secure Boot

  • Project mention: Show HN: SSH-tpm-agent – SSH agent for TPMs | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-29

    You can edit UEFI drivers from the operating system's bootloader, and you can even flash the UEFI itself from the OS in most computers. While secure boot. Failing that, you can shim a preloader between the bootloader and the UEFI and load arbitrary drivers despite secure boot, like is done here : https://github.com/ValdikSS/Super-UEFIinSecureBoot-Disk

    Any sufficiently motivated attacker can make a UEFI rootkit happen, and it's in the wild right now. TPM really do offer no protection to users, either against userspace malware, or rootkits. It's purely about DRM.

  • format-udf

    Bash script to format a block device (hard drive or Flash drive) in UDF. The output is a drive that can be used for reading/writing across multiple operating system families: Windows, macOS, and Linux. This script should be capable of running in macOS or in Linux.

  • Project mention: ExFAT Driver Boasts Much Faster "Dirsync" Performance with Linux 6.9 | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-21

    The note about the partition table makes me wonder how he was formatting the drive. https://github.com/JElchison/format-udf specifically does some partition table related hacks to make UDF maximally compatible with different platforms.

  • embiggen-disk

    embiggden-disk live-resizes a filesystem after first live-resizing any necessary layers below it: an optional LVM LV and PV, and an MBR or GPT partition table
