Data Recovery Tool

Purpose and scope: This tool analyzes storage media to identify recoverable content after data loss events. It supports common file systems (NTFS, FAT32, exFAT, ext4, HFS+) and both internal disks and external drives. It provides quick preliminary assessments for IT operations, incident response, and data restoration projects, surfacing candidate files and their original paths without modifying source media.
Core logic: Non-destructive, read-only analysis of filesystem metadata, directory structures, and checksums enables surface scans and optional deeper scans for fragmented data. It reconstructs plausible directory trees by linking orphaned records to the nearest valid parents and assigns a recoverability score per item, guiding next steps and reducing manual triage.
Users and value: Targeted at IT admins, DR teams, and digital forensics labs. By highlighting high-probability recoveries and exporting audit-ready outputs, the tool shortens recovery timelines, improves evidence preservation, and supports compliance. Batch analysis and image-based workflows enable scalable triage across large datasets.
Differentiators & use cases: Unique recovery-likelihood scoring, non-destructive workflows, and structured outputs distinguish this tool. Use cases include post-incident recovery planning, drive imaging validation, and forensic-ready reporting. Outputs include item-level metadata, integrity hashes, and exportable reports suitable for management reviews.
