PyMBR

PyMBR is a simple module that allows the user to parse, manipulate or create MBR/Bootsectors easily.

• Parse full MBR dump
• Parse parts of the MBR such as the partition table.
• Change the bootcode or the artition table values.
• Compose the changes made into a a new MBR binary string.

Installation

python setup.py install

or

pip install pymbr

Sample usage - Creating a simple MBR

import pymbr
mbr = pymbr.MBR()
mbr.bootcode = pymbr.Bootcode.ZOIDBERG
mbr.partitionTable = pymbr.PartitionTable.parse('\x00' * 64)
mbr.signature = 0xaa55
bin = mbr.compose()
with open('mbr.bin', 'wb') as file:
    file.write(bin)

TODOs:

• Add more common filesystems to the Filesystem class
• Add common MBR bootcode to he Bootcode class
• Add LBA to CHS converion
• Add overlapping partition prevention
• Tests?
