    Rufus is not for burning/mounting ISO, rather to create USB bootables from ISO images.

    Tools are not the same. One is a Bootable USB tool, UltraISO is a ISO/Image suite

    While Rufus can, indeed, burn the ISO to the flash drive, like UltraISO, it can't create nor edit the .iso files.

    It's very similar in interface and functionality to UltraISO as a Linux app. It helped me view the boot sector of one of the ISOs. You've got to find any app which is similar to UltraISO.
