Medicat USB - all in one usb bootable tool for IT Troubleshooting

[@raughboy188]

One great thing about medicat is that you can remove all tools you don't use or you don't want to use and add tools you use. Since it utilizes Ventoy you can add any other tool you use but it's not included so you can literary tailor it to your needs. I am gonna make something like medicat usb for myself but i will tailor it for my needs.

[@BillLambert]

This reminds me of the good old "Hiren's boot CD". Back in the day I carried that thing everywhere.

I used Hiren's for years but then found "Sergei Strelec"! It is basically Hirens, plus a bunch more and being updated on the regular. It has been solid. Curious how Medicat compares. Great post!

[@ADB-zf5zr]

I still have several different versions on CD in my old (and hopefully never to be used again) CD case (it has a handle and holds 80 disks, was a lifesaver / everyday work tool back in the day), plus a USB DVD-Drive (and a couple of working SATA, and even ATA drives), plus many other CD's and DVD's from back in the day before booting from USB and installing/running things from USB was possible or realistic. It is amazing, shocking and stunning as to just how much has changed and how far we have come in just the last 20-years.! PS: Just subscribed.

[@iwal1645]

What a great little tool all in one form or another, some recognizable from others. I remember having image files on DVD and CD's i've burned then it all got stolen, glad to know i can get it all back again all in one neat package.

[@BillB]

I did not catch mention of the size of the download or the required USB size. For anyone else wondering, the download size as of December '23 is 22 GB. I would guess a minimum of a 64 GB USB would suffice for install. An ISO that we could boot from DroidDrive on our phones would be awesome and I expect with some tinkering is totally possible. Thanks for the tip on a cool tool!

I just built a MediCat USB repair drive on a cheap 30gb drive. It took 3 days for the build and verify to complete on my W11 system.

Yes, I know there's bound to be a few false positives b/c it contains password cracks, but it is far more than that. The files contain spy ware, exploits, viruses, and trojans. Why in the world would an IT tool contain spy ware and browser exploits in a help guide? Many of the files have been obfuscated in way that is used to hide from AV scanners.

I have been making and using a customised ubuntu live usb to do all of this for years all with tools that are free on linux

[@osmanali176]

Can you suggest me the tools please?

[@user-ic_]

I'm using E2B. You can put whatever you want in it

[@chandanpatel9049]

Which tool you are using for screen recording on boot up and while formatting the PC

[@legionofanon]

Might be an inline capture card, video goes from one computer to through the capture then to the monitor

[@MichaelBransonCoach]

Probably booting a virtual pc. As it's a window in windows (or mac), just screen record an area or second monitor using any capture app.

[@linghuu2023]

Yeah, I hope he will answer how he has done it too

[@fabioamado6725]

Great video as always, thank you. Can I install this Medicat ON an Yumi multiboot usb pendrive? 😅

[@next-big-thing]

The "games" made me laugh. Maybe there's a tech reason for some specific arbitrary issue that needs them, but sticking a few games for the bored admin is awesome.

[@trocha419]

I’ve been using them for I don’t even know how long. Decade or more it feels.

[@bertvantol9669]

At the beginning of the Medicat Installation it tells me to switch off the Windows Defender Antivirus .... Is it safe to do this ???

[@ArthursHD]

Not at all. :)

[@jshaw4757]

It asks so because antivirus and the medicat can clash your antivirus can stop it from working this is why....the whole point off these things is refreshing your computer...your only turning it off for the time your using it then put back on you be fine

[@chris_007]

​@@jshaw4757that's still highly suspicious :/ It has too many "false positives" to install with confidence. The Lock Picker program might attribute to some of the false positives, but what about the rest? They could easily be trying to trick people into thinking its safe to download by having such a vast amount of programs on it with malicious files hidden inside them (e.g. the games, multiple versions of ransomware recovery tools, cracked tools, etc). Once a malicious program is fully installed on your system, your anti-virus is not going to fair well against it. So if it actually does contain something bad, you won't be fine when you reenable your anti-virus. Giving a program free rein to do absolutely anything on your computer (e.g. disguise and embed itself in your registry) is a red flag, let alone multiple programs. Personally, I'm not touching it.

[@miroslavkeprta7508]

i wonder, why it is not provided as iso file (and simple creating usb boot drive with rufus tool for example).

[@Daddy000]

I remember making a usb just like then when I was 11 years old it was a life saver I would use computer at school and reinstall windows since kids would uninstall windows

[@projector7141]

Uninstalling windows is too far. For trolling, I just changed the MOTD to be an ASCII middle finger for everyone in the lab xD

Great review, thank you!

Ugh, I wish it had a direct ISO download … so I could just pop it on to my IODD ST400

[@laboratorioassembler]

Direct iso download ? What is?

Hiren's boot pe is nice too

I think Recova is supposed to be pronounced like a Bostonian would say "recover". Recovah.

[@RicardoHernandez-zr1pw]

My own usb bootable tool is the best.

If you're an IT professional you're probably working in an enterprise environment where drives all are encrypted. Any repair, modify or backup utilities will be worthless.

[@thecartoonrobot]

I don't. I work for the company that runs the chain of small offices, most of it using consumer grade equipment. IT encompasses a wide spectrum.

4:05 such invaluable information! 😀

[@TheRob2D]

I dunno man. A lot of those tools aren't free. This seems a bit dodgy. Not that I'm a saint myself when it comes to software but I'm just sayin'......

[@Marin3r101]

You ain't "saying" much....

[@i_used_adblock_to_watch_this]

I was literally about to say the same thing. I don't like services that openly pirate other software. At the very least, such software should be considered compromised and not to be trusted.

[@jesselioce]

To be fair most of those apps have free tier versions with limited functionality

[@hondaland_]

I've been using medicat to fix computers for years. Its free so you need to research more before you speak

[@ossito]

Ease US is sketchy and would never use, trial is useless
