Open Source ChromeOS File Systems

Darik's Boot and Nuke ("DBAN") is a self-contained boot image that securely wipes hard disk drives (HDDs). DBAN is appropriate for personal use, bulk data destruction, or emergency data destruction for HDDs, but is not recommended for solid-state drives (SSDs), sanitization that requires auditable compliance documentation, or technical support.

Ext2Read is an explorer like utility to explore ext2/ext3/ext4 files. It now supports LVM2 and EXT4 extents. It can be used to view and copy files and folders. It can recursively copy entire folders. It can also be used to view and copy disk and file

The Digital Forensic Tool Testing (DFTT) project creates test images for digital forensic acquisition and analysis tools. These images can be used by a tool developers and owners to test their software.

This project serves as a collection of different free software projects that I'm working on. The major ones are currently "HFSExplorer", "DMGExtractor", and "NTFS-3G for Mac OS X".

This is the final release of truecrypt (7.1a) ported to use wxGTK3 instead of 2.8. None of the underlying code has changed, instead the compile errors due to modern distros using and updated version of wxGTK have been resolved (for now).

Cloud Storage FUSE is an open-source user-space file system adapter that allows Google Cloud Storage buckets to be mounted and accessed as if they were local file systems on a machine. This approach enables applications to interact with cloud storage using standard file system semantics, eliminating the need to rewrite code to use object storage APIs directly. The tool is particularly valuable in data-intensive workflows such as machine learning, where large datasets can be accessed on demand without requiring full local downloads. It supports performance optimizations like file caching, which stores frequently accessed data on local storage to significantly improve throughput and reduce latency. The system integrates with cloud-native environments such as Kubernetes and can be used in distributed architectures where multiple compute nodes access shared datasets.

minikeyvalue is a compact distributed key-value store designed to avoid the complexity of larger distributed filesystems. The codebase is roughly 1,000 lines while supporting replication, multiple machines, and multiple drives per machine. It is optimized for comparatively large values between about 1 MB and 1 GB and is intended to scale to very large collections. Standard nginx instances act as volume servers, while filesystem storage holds blobs and LevelDB maintains the index. A simple HTTP API handles reads, writes, deletes, virtual deletes, and key listing, with partial S3 compatibility. The system can rebuild its index and rebalance data when storage volumes are added or removed.

JNode is a Java New Operating system Design Effort. JNode is a simple to use and install Java operating system for personal use on modern devices. Any java application runs on it, fast and safe. See our homepage for additional information.

File Master is created to assist you when handling many files at one time. File Master can for example rename many files at once, or zip them for storage.

droiD64 is a graphical filemanager for D64 files (Commodore 64 and others). May this tool make life easier for Commodore 64 fans, especially for those using MAC and Linux systems as there are tools available for Windows anyway.

Fuse-ext2 is a multi OS FUSE module to mount ext2 and ext3 file system devices and/or images with read write support. Moved project source to github: https://github.com/alperakcan/fuse-ext2

Ranish Boot and Partitioning Tools

Java Virtual System (JVS) is built around a virtual file system (VFS) - a common platform of Java, by Java, for Java. JVS extends JVM and makes it from an interpreter running half-compiled code a first-class server.

A simple utility to split a concatenated vCard format file into separate files (IETF RFC 2426 - vCard MIME Directory Profile). It splits on the BEGIN:VCARD and END:VCARD tags. It was created to help import a Lotus Organizer export file into Palm Desktop

JFileSync is a Java application used to synchronize directories of two different file systems. For instance, you want to synchronize a set of directories on your laptop with a set of corresponding directories on your workstation.

The ADFlib is a portable C library designed to manage Amiga formatted devices like harddisks and ZIP disks, or dump files of this kind of media via the .ADF format. Projects using ADFlib are : ADFOpus and ADFView

The FDOS Operaing System is 100% written in Assembler (NASM). It supports FAT 12, TSR and a small Multi Kernel System. The source is very good documentated (only in English). A German, russian and English Documentation (about 40 pages) are included.

Read and Decode CDs (and Hard disks) that are formatted for the use with the Kurzweil K2x00 Sampler Series.

MediaSort is a tool to automatically rename your media files (pictures, mp3, ...) with their metadata attributes. You can sort your pictures by date, camera ... or other EXIF attributes. MP3s by author, album .. or other ID3 tags. Java GUI based on Ant.

tskmount, is a Fuse filesystem written in perl and based on The Sleuth Kit tools. It is intended to provide an easy way to recover deleted files over ext2, fat and ntfs filesystems.

Davenport is a servlet-based WebDAV gateway to a CIFS network. This allows you to access Windows/Samba shares using any web browser. WebDAV clients (such as Windows Web Folders) can upload and download from the shares as if they were local folders.

Java based file explorer. Tested with Mac OS X 10.5 and Windows XP. Added features missing from Finder: 1)Editable Location bar. 2)Cut and Paste. 3)Paste merges folder contents. New Features: 4) Queued file transfers. 5) Open folder in new window.

APR based virtual file system library and modules for read/write access to gzip, bzip, tar, cpio, iso and zip archives.

An application I have written for managing external hard drives and other things, where the default windows-autostart fails. I have written it for myself cause couldn't find anything similiar and I think it might be usefull for others too. Enjoy...
