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.
