An interesting quirk of the ISO 9660 standard is that the first sector of the disc is explicitly undefined, in order to accommodate a platform-specific boot sector. I sometimes wonder how many platforms could be accommodated by a single "polyglot" disc image.

Bootable whatever polyglots are a recurring feature in PoC||GTFO, which I find to always be an enlightening read: https://github.com/angea/pocorgtfo?tab=readme-ov-file#0x22

That feels like the ISO equivalent of Cosmopolitan libc [0].
