Foremost is a forensic data recovery program for Linux that recovers files using their headers, footers, and data structures through a process known as file carving. [3] Although written for law enforcement use, the program and its source code are freely available and can be used as a general data recovery tool. [2]
TestDisk can recover deleted files especially if the file was not fragmented and the clusters have not been reused. There are two file recovery mechanisms in the TestDisk package: [2] TestDisk proper uses knowledge of the filesystem structure to perform "undelete". PhotoRec is a "file carver". It does not need any knowledge of the file system ...
PhotoRec is a free and open-source utility software for data recovery with text-based user interface using data carving techniques, designed to recover lost files from various digital camera memory, hard disk and CD-ROM. It can recover the files with more than 480 file extensions (about 300 file families).
It forms the foundation for Autopsy, a better known tool that is essentially a graphical user interface to the command line utilities bundled with The Sleuth Kit. [2] [3] The collection is open source and protected by the GPL, the CPL and the IPL. The software is under active development and it is supported by a team of developers.
GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool for disk drives, DVDs, CDs, and other digital storage media. It copies raw blocks of storage, such as disk sectors , from one device or file to another, while handling read errors in an intelligent manner to minimize data loss by scraping good sectors from partially read blocks.
Redo Rescue, formerly Redo Backup and Recovery, is a free backup and disaster recovery software. It runs from a live CD, a bootable Linux CD image, features a GUI that is a front end to the Partclone command line utility, and is capable of bare-metal backup and recovery of disk partitions. It can use external hard drives and network shares.
Some of the tools included with the CAINE Linux distribution include: The Sleuth Kit – open source command line tools that support forensic inspection of disk volume and file system analysis. Autopsy – open source digital forensics platform that supports forensic analysis of files, hash filtering, keyword search, email and web artifacts ...
tomsrtbt (pronounced: Tom's Root Boot) is a very small Linux distribution.It is short for "Tom's floppy which has a root filesystem and is also bootable." [1] Its author, Tom Oehser, touts it as "The most GNU/Linux on one floppy disk", containing many common Linux command-line tools useful for system recovery (Linux and other operating systems.)
