Description

Deleted or lost files can be carved from raw disk images by recognizing headers, footers, and internal structures. This is useful for forensic recovery and damaged filesystem situations where normal file listings are unavailable.

It is a command-line recovery tool built from development source. Recovery should write to a separate disk or image, and users should avoid modifying the source media during analysis.
