DdAuto (original) (raw)

ddAuto is an front-end GUI cross-platform imaging tool written in Perl to automate the dd utility. The purpose of this tool is to provide the user with the power of the dd utility as well as providing the user with an intuitive interface. ddAuto provides the option for the user to image attached drives (e.g. HD, Flash Drive) locally or remotely via the TCP protocol using netcat/cryptcat.Image integrity functionality is also provided by the tool. The user may use the MD5, SHA1, SHA2 or other digest algorithms for hash verification. ddAuto also allows the user to view the imaging completion percentage in the background and the estimated remaining time.
