what is carving technique used in this software??

Hello,

There is also PhotoRec (free).
I think it is based on signature to carve, like a lot of other tool.

Header/Length and Header/Footer. For RAM memory carving we also have BelkaCarving, a proprietory method to defragment memory contents which improves carving results.

thank you… but i can't find "based on signature to carve" article, it have other specific name or not?
if you know other technique, please let me know…

I do a lot of work with recovery of video files. The large majority of cameras do not record video physically sequentially on the camera memory chip and use the FAT to make the file logically sequential when read. If the video chip is deleted, all the fragmentation information is lost.

Thus, data carving does not work (though many companies claim it does!!). The technique I use a lot of is to search a particular tag (signature) at a relevant location within a cluster. eg I may look for a tag "stts" at offset 0x4591 within a cluster. The concept of a signature at a fixed location (typically 0) is not used.

The following link gives a small bit of information on this

Overall this is much more complex than simple header and trailer signatures, but can find a reconstruct files with maybe 100s of fragments (GoPro often has over 100 fragments in a 10 min video)
