mbr-forensic 0.3.0

Forensic MBR parser — structure, anomaly detection, gap analysis, slack-space carving, and filesystem fingerprinting
Documentation
//! Tier 2 — known-bootkit / boot-sector-malware marker detection.
//!
//! Boot-sector malware frequently embeds plaintext markers in the MBR code
//! area. The engine scans the 446-byte boot code for an extensible table of
//! documented markers; a match is a definitive tampering indicator.
//!
//! The seed set uses only publicly-documented historical markers (the 1987
//! "Stoned" boot virus) so no byte pattern here is fabricated.
