Hi i'm looking for some source code (much preferably c++ (or second best Java)) for a program that reads deleted files from disk by locating their extension in their header.
The program can be command line, i just want the bare minimum to achieve this, nothing else, GUI doesn't matter. Comments would be great, i'd just really like to understand how this is done / what API is used.
I'm by no means fluent in programming, but am interested in this and look to become good at it/ program my own forensic tools.
Thanks a lot for replies/code, i really appreciate it!
A quick Google search led to

it is NOT only for Photos, see the list of "known" filetypes
