magicrescue - recovers files by looking for magic bytes myrescue - rescue data from damaged harddisks scrounge-ntfs - Data recovery program for NTFS filesystems autopsy - graphical interface to SleuthKit dcfldd - enhanced version of dd for forensics and security foremost - Forensics application to recover data guymager - Forensic imaging tool based on Qt sleuthkit - collection of tools for forensics analysis on volume and file system data tct - collection of forensics related utilities There are, no doubt, others. -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
