dec-decode: an iso.dec decoder written in Go
This tool implements the NASOS method of decoding .iso.dec files
back into plain .iso files.
History
This tool is also written in Go and born of a frustration that:
- the NASOS tool is being used to archive ISOs with limited implementations available
- the original NASOS tool is written as a .NET GUI tool for Windows and is slow on Linux
- it is hard to find a canonical site for getting the tool
- It requires downloading unknown binaries
This is a pure Go implementation that documents how this works and
should work on all platforms supported by Go. This alleviates all the
concerns above.
Installation
You need a working Go installation (I used Go 1.12 on Ubuntu Linux 18.04)
For Go >= 1.17, you can install the tool and required libraries with:
go install github.com/sammiq/dec-decode@latest
For Go < 1.11 the you will need to install the required libraries manually:
go get github.com/jessevdk/go-flags
Get the tool quickly with:
go get github.com/sammiq/dec-decode
Alternatively, you can clone this repository and build the tool with:
go install
