isoinfo -d -i /dev/cdrom

isoinfo is part of mkisofs.

Or this script ("cd-info"):

#!/bin/bash

RD=${1:-/dev/cdrom}

for i in 32768,7  32776,32 32808,32 32958,128  33086,128  33214,128 \
         33342,128  33470,32  33581,16  33598,16   33615,16   33632,16

do
        old_IFS="$IFS"
        IFS=","
        set -- $i
        IFS="$old_IFS"
        OFFSET=$1
        LENGTH=$2
        echo "*`dd if=$RD bs=1 skip=$OFFSET count=$LENGTH 2>/dev/null`#"
done


I'm afraid I don't know the author of this script, though.
