About CardChecker

Some dishonest sellers deceive their customers. They sell fake USB or SD cards with small (fake) capacity, at the price of good flash cards. When writing to these drives, the customer usually loses his money and data that was written there. This program will help to find the true capacity of the purchased drive.

How to build

Requirements

You must install 'gcc' and 'cmake' packages (optionally Qt Creator for editing).

Build

To use the program, you must compile and run it. To do this, you can run the ./build.sh script (for Linux). You can also use Qt Creator to open, build, and edit a project. To do this, you must open the ./src/CMakeList.txt file in it.

How to use

After a successful build, you can find a new file ./bin/Release/CardCheckerCli and run it with parameter.

  • You must find path of your USB DEVICE. Usualy it is path similar to /dev/sd[a|b|c|...]
  • Run program with root privilages.
sudo ./CardCheckerCli /dev/sdb

⚠️⚠️⚠️ All datas on this drive will be corrupted!!! Don't use this program, if you are unsure of your knowledges⚠️⚠️⚠️

  • After long time, if all ok, you can see text:
Checking of blocks completed
Real size is 104857600b.
This is 100% of the declared size

Development tips

For testing and development, you can use file (instead of real device). For example you can make new file /tmp/test_file with 100M size and try to use it.

dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test_file bs=100M count=1

and run 'check' it

./CardCheckerCli /tmp/test_file
