dcfldd

Enhanced version of dd for forensics and security
dcfldd was initially developed at Department of Defense Computer Forensics Lab (DCFL). This tool is based on the dd program with the following additional features:

• Hashing on-the-fly: dcfldd can hash the input data as it is being transferred, helping to ensure data integrity.
• Status output: dcfldd can update the user of its progress in terms of the amount of data transferred and how much longer operation will take.
• Flexible disk wipes: dcfldd can be used to wipe disks quickly and with a known pattern if desired.
• Image/wipe verify: dcfldd can verify that a target drive is a bit-for-bit match of the specified input file or pattern.
• Multiple outputs: dcfldd can output to multiple files or disks at the same time.
• Split output: dcfldd can split output to multiple files with more configurability than the split command.
• Piped output and logs: dcfldd can send all its log data and output to commands as well as files natively.
• When dd uses a default block size (bs, ibs, obs) of 512 bytes, dcfldd uses 32768 bytes (32 KiB) which is HUGELY more efficient.
• The following options are present in dcfldd but not in dd: ALGORITHMlog:, errlog, hash, hashconv, hashformat, hashlog, hashlog:, hashwindow, limit, of:, pattern, sizeprobe, split, splitformat, statusinterval, textpattern, totalhashformat, verifylog, verifylog:, vf.

root@kali:~# dcfldd --help
Usage: dcfldd [OPTION]...
Enhanced version of dd for forensics and security.

  bs=BYTES            force ibs=BYTES and obs=BYTES (default=32768)
  cbs=BYTES           convert BYTES bytes at a time
  conv=KEYWORDS       convert the file as per the comma separated keyword list
  count=BLOCKS        copy only BLOCKS input blocks
  limit=BYTES         similar to count but using BYTES instead of BLOCKS
  ibs=BYTES           read BYTES bytes at a time
  if=FILE             read from FILE instead of stdin
  obs=BYTES           write BYTES bytes at a time
  of=FILE             write to FILE instead of stdout
  of:=COMMAND         exec and write output to process COMMAND
  seek=BLOCKS         skip BLOCKS obs-sized blocks at start of output
  skip=BLOCKS         skip BLOCKS ibs-sized blocks at start of input
  pattern=HEX         use the specified binary pattern as input
  textpattern=TEXT    use repeating TEXT as input
  errlog=FILE         send error messages to FILE as well as stderr
  hash=NAME           do hash calculation (md5, sha1, sha256, sha384 or sha512)
  hashlog=FILE        send hash output to FILE instead of stderr
  hashwindow=BYTES    perform a hash on every BYTES amount of data
  hashlog:=COMMAND    exec and write hashlog to process COMMAND
  ALGORITHMlog:=COMMAND    also works in the same fashion of hashlog:=COMMAND
  hashconv=[before|after]  perform the hashing before or after the conversions
  hashformat=FORMAT        display each hashwindow according to FORMAT
  totalhashformat=FORMAT   display the total hash value according to FORMAT
  status=[on|off]          display a continual status message on stderr
  statusinterval=N         update the status message every N blocks
  sizeprobe=[if|of|BYTES]  what to use as value to percentage indicator
  split=BYTES              write every BYTES amount of data to a new file
  splitformat=[TEXT|MAC|WIN]  the file extension format for split operation
  vf=FILE                  verify that FILE matches the specified input
  verifylog=FILE           send verify results to FILE instead of stderr
  verifylog:=COMMAND       exec and write verify results to process COMMAND
  diffwr=[on|off]          only write to output if destination block content differs

  --help              display this help and exit
  --version           output version information and exit
