Description

A command-line recovery tool for investigating ext3 filesystems and looking for deleted content that may still be recoverable. It is useful in data recovery and forensic-style inspection of older Linux filesystems.

Use it only on the correct disk image or unmounted filesystem to avoid making recovery harder. Results are not guaranteed, and important media should be copied before analysis.

How to run
