magicrescue - 1.1.10+dfsg-2+b2 main

Magic Rescue scans a block device for file types it knows how to recover
and calls an external program to extract them. It looks at "magic bytes"
(file patterns) in file contents, so it can be used both as an undelete
utility and for recovering a corrupted drive or partition. As long as
the file data is there, it will find it.
.
Magic Rescue uses files called 'recipes'. These files have strings and
commands to identify and extract data from devices or forensics images.
So, you can write your own recipes. Currently, there are the following
recipes: avi, canon-cr2, elf, flac, gpl, gzip, jpeg-exif, jpeg-jfif,
mbox, mbox-mozilla-inbox, mbox-mozilla-sent, mp3-id3v1, mp3-id3v2,
msoffice, nikon-raw, perl, png, ppm, sqlite and zip.
.
This package provides magicrescue, dupemap and magicsort commands.
magicrescue is a carver and it is useful in forensics investigations.
