Foremost is a console program to recover files based on their headers,
|
|
footers, and internal data structures. This process is commonly referred
|
|
to as data carving. Foremost can work on image files, such as those
|
|
generated by dd, Safeback, Encase, etc, or directly on a drive. The
|
|
headers and footers can be specified by a configuration file or you can
|
|
use command line switches to specify built-in file types. These built-in
|
|
types look at the data structures of a given file format allowing for a
|
|
more reliable and faster recovery.
