Version 3.1 added -u for uppercase hexadecimal values And version 3.2 added -x to display only hexadecimal, not the ASCII representation Added exporting capabilities to all allowed by WinAPI. This makes it possible to overwrite a boot sector in case it gets corrupted. By default, when you are exporting to a device, it prompts you if you are really sure with this message:

WARNING: The write operation you're about to perform can cause serious data loss!
         The creator is not responsible for any damages. Continue only if you know what you are doing.
Proceed with the write operation? (y/n)

To avoid this message and continue, you can now use -y or --yes switch Note that this is extremely dangerous to a hard drive and will possibly make it unbootable if done incorrectly
