    Future of SEO

    I stopped putting effort into it. Google sucks and what works today might very well not work tomorrow, it's a totally unreliable **** show. I simply blog about what I like or find useful, put up videos I like doing etc., Google can go to hell. If you do data recovery related searches all you...

    Gsmartcontrol - HGST HUH728080ALE600 - HGST Ultrastar He8 - interpret these results?

    No but not particularly helpful in finding what's wrong with the drive. It basically tells a read was attempted and failed.

    This isn't about ransomware, it's about file based Android encryption.

    Did you ever get anywhere with this? Do you have any idea if I can define multiple signatures? Is this what OR is for? Would this work?

    Android Ransomware that Encrypts JPGs and Video

    FYI. Came across one of those again. So user took SD card from phone and inserted in card reader on PC and cut/paste files to hard drive. He later found files were corrupt, however when viewed in hex editor we see the 'CONSOLE' header. Since in between phone was not factory reset or anything...

    sd card formatted in Sony nx5r video camera

    I know many Sony DSLRs wipe data when formatting, I don't know about this device. If it's the same the answer would be no.

    After EaseUS deep scan can't find my files :(

    OMG that YT idiot. Over 7 million views, sigh. Cloning primary goal is to get as much data as possible to another disk or image file. If files will be there after cloning is not the question, cloning is the priority in itself. Cloning does not care about files, it copies sectors, initially in...

    Too bad. From what I read it's an excellent tool with lots of potential that can compete with more expensive solutions. However in my experience this 'freemium' type model (where you have a free version that offers very usable functionality) you're using does not work for this type of software...

    I see these all the time. I think it is Android file based encryption. Entropy in such files also suggests encryption. No one was able to point me anywhere, I asked several places, here's one: https://www.reddit.com/r/Smartphonefore ... ncryption/ and here...

    Corrupted files after hard disk data recovery

    Hello, There's no way to fix this. They're simply not XLS files. Simply rename "Project Management_Risk Control Matrix_Testing_Client_Back up Desktop.xls" to test.jpg and you'll see what I mean. With file system based undelete, a recovery tool finds a reference to a file with 'not in use'...

    Corrupted files after hard disk data recovery

    That's the header of a JPEG. I can't see the filename /extension, so I have to ask: Did you expect it to be a JPEG or something else? - If a JPEG then can you send the whole file so I can see if it's complete? - If you expected it to be another file type then your recovery software did...

    Corrupted files after hard disk data recovery

    Can you use for example HxD, open one of the corrupt files and post a screenshot? And also, is this hard drive from which the files were deleted a conventional disk or SSD?

    For those interested I changed it around a bit: At some point JpegDigger RAW > JPEG was moved to JPEG-Repair and then there was no more JpegDigger. Few months forward: I needed a no thrills JPEG carver and since then I have added functionality. Thought it needed a name and I decided to recycle...

    Hello folks, Jared: thanks for the welcome! Larry: Thank you Larry! As I am not familiar with View-NXi (I am not even a photographer myself) I have trouble following that work-flow thingy. However I think ignoring smaller resolution JPEGs should be possible, I'd have to look at the code for...

    If .jpeg opens but does not display image.

    I agree that files that are corrupt after recovery, in general are incorrectly recovered files and as such can not be repaired. Often they contain random data or part of image data is missing (often due to fragmentation on FAT32 or exFAT formatted media: memory cards). Files that are corrupt...
