Let’s say i download an iso for my latest favourite distro and, after unpacking the rar (usenet) i find the right contents but all the filenames are a bunch of hexadecimal strings. The files are legit, but how do i “decode” the names to know which one is file n.1, file n.2 and so on?

I answer for myself. On linux the neat tool called “mediainfo” will print MKVs ,metadata, and that includes the real ISO title.

This one needs to be remade with the contemporary version.
