Hi guys,
I know that one of the plugins in Case Processor of EnCase can carve out Recycle Bin records and INFO2 files from unallocated for Windows 2000 and XP.
I was wondering if anyone can recommend a tool that can carve out Recycle Bin records from the Windows Vista and 7?
Thanks!
I don't know of any tool available at the minute but I hope this helps
INFO2 files were done away wih on the introduction of Vista. Instead of retaining the deleted file database information in one INFO2 file, Windows Vista keeps this information within index files in the Recycle Bin that begin with $I. The remainder of the file name is abbreviated e.g. $IBOG24J.bin The deleted file name is changed to a name with $R when place in the Recycle Bin e.g. $RBOG24J.bin …matching the corresponding Index file. (also look at the Short Name column)
Selecting the Index file, $IBOG24J.bin, view in Hex mode and it should display the full path to the deleted file. The file names only differ at the second file name character, with the Index file having an I and the deleted file having and R at that location.
Hey all quick question on this topic.
I am trying to view files in a WIN 7 Recycle bin on C\.
When I view the recycle bin on the desktop there are files there.
I can locate C\$Recycle Bin and change its attributes, however I can't view or change attributes on the files inside the bin.
I have tried attrib -h -s *.* and attrib -h -s $*.* both return file not found.
Any help would be appreciated )
