A little script to mount all partitions from a disk image
Usage
./mountall.sh my_disk_image.img
Attempts to mount all partitions from the disk in subdirectories, mounting them as read-only.
What does it do?
Say fdisk -l sdb.img would give me this output:
Disk sdb.img: 7.4 GiB, 7948206080 bytes, 15523840 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
sdb.img1 8192 15523839 15515648 7.4G b W95 FAT32
Then what mountall.sh does is find the sector size (512 bytes), create a
directory called mnt-sdb.img1, setup a loop device with the offset 8192*512,
and mount that loop device in the created directory.
You can then cd into the new directory to read the files on that partition.
To mount the partition as read-write, remove the -o ro flag from the mount
command near the bottom of the script.
To do
-
Detect whether fdisk and other requirements are installed
-
Test with older versions of fdisk (an older Kali machine didn't seem to have color output by default, it might die on that --color=never option)
-
Add options (e.g. mounting not read-only)
