Around 2014/2015 I rooted my first phone and went down the rabbit hole of what you could do with a rooted Android.
That's when I found [DriveDroid](https://softwarebakery.com/projects/drivedroid) ([archive](https://web.archive.org/web/20160901000000*/https://softwarebakery.com/projects/drivedroid)) by Software Bakery. Teenage me thought it was the coolest thing ever.
Fast forward a few years: DriveDroid stopped being maintained, 404 on Play Store, and even if you find an APK floating around ([Kali NetHunter](https://store.nethunter.com/packages/com.softwarebakery.drivedroid/) keeps one) it does not work on modern Android.
As someone who gives tech support often, I've wanted something like it for years. Having Linux to chroot or HBCD for Windows password reset at anytime without having to carry around USB drives is very useful for me.

Then I found [isodrive](https://github.com/nitanmarcel/isodrive) by nitanmarcel ([mirror](https://git.shihaam.dev/shihaam/isodrive)). I tried the Magisk module and Termux, it worked. So here we are.
ISO Droid is basically me chasing that teenage nostalgia and trying to make something simple that just works.
The name comes from **Drive**Droid + **iso**drive = **ISO Droid**. Not very creative, but it fits.
