Recover deleted files from disk images and storage media using PhotoRec's.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Recovering Deleted Files with PhotoRec
## When to Use
- When recovering deleted files from a forensic disk image or storage device
- When the file system is corrupted, formatted, or overwritten
- During investigations requiring recovery of documents, images, videos, or databases
- When file system metadata is unavailable but raw data sectors remain intact
- For recovering files from memory cards, USB drives, and hard drives
## Prerequisites
- PhotoRec installed (part of TestDisk suite)
- Forensic disk image or direct device access (read-only)
- Sufficient output storage space (potentially larger than source)
- Write-blocker if working with original media
- Root/sudo privileges for device access
- Knowledge of target file types for focused recovery
## Workflow
### Step 1: Install PhotoRec and Prepare the Environment
```bash
# Install TestDisk (includes PhotoRec) on Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install testdisk
# On RHEL/CentOS
sudo yum install testdisk
# On macOS
brew install testdisk
# Verify installation
photorec --version
# Create output directory structure
mkdir -p /cases/case-2024-001/recovered/{all,documents,images,databases}
# Verify the forensic image
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add adriannoes/awesome-agentic-ai/recovering-deleted-files-with-photorec@sha256:f2d5b98906177ab2The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
