Backtrack Forensics: fatback

Forensics -> Forensic Carving Tools

fatback is a simple utility to recover deleted files from FAT16/32 partitions. It will recover files only from the latest partition, other words, it can't recover files after the drive has been formatted. It can be used in either automatic or manual mode. If used in auto mode, we have to specify an output directory.

Usage examples:

Auto mode, with specifing outut directory:

fatback -a /dev/sdb -o FatBackOut

Interactive mode, it's quite straightforward to use, if looking on the help:

fatback /dev/sdb

fatback> ls
fatback> help


It will also create a log file, about the restore in the directory where it was run from.
