# Carving & Recovery tools
More tools in [https://github.com/Claudio-C/awesome-datarecovery](https://github.com/Claudio-C/awesome-datarecovery)
## Autopsy
The most common tool used in forensics to extract files from images is [**Autopsy**](https://www.autopsy.com/download/). Download it, install it and make it ingest the file to find "hidden" files. Note that Autopsy is built to support disk images and other kinds of images, but not simple files.
## Binwalk <a href="#binwalk" id="binwalk"></a>
**Binwalk** is a tool for searching binary files like images and audio files for embedded files and data.\
It can be installed with `apt` however the [source](https://github.com/ReFirmLabs/binwalk) can be found on github.\
**Useful commands**:
```bash
sudo apt install binwalk #Insllation
binwalk file #Displays the embedded data in the given file
binwalk -e file #Displays and extracts some files from the given file
binwalk --dd ".*" file #Displays and extracts all files from the given file
```
## Foremost
Another common tool to find hidden files is **foremost**. You can find the configuration file of foremost in `/etc/foremost.conf`. If you just want to search for some specific files uncomment them. If you don't uncomment anything foremost will search for its default configured file types.
```bash
sudo apt-get install foremost
foremost -v -i file.img -o output
#Discovered files will appear inside the folder "output"
```
## **Scalpel**
**Scalpel** is another tool that can be used to find and extract **files embedded in a file**. In this case, you will need to uncomment from the configuration file (_/etc/scalpel/scalpel.conf_) the file types you want it to extract.
```bash
sudo apt-get install scalpel
scalpel file.img -o output
```
## Bulk Extractor
This tool comes inside kali but you can find it here: [https://github.com/simsong/bulk\_extractor](https://github.com/simsong/bulk\_extractor)
This tool can scan an image and will **extract pcaps** inside it, **network information (URLs, domains, IPs, MACs, mails)** and more **files**. You only have to do:
```
bulk_extractor memory.img -o out_folder
```
Navigate through **all the information** that the tool has gathered (passwords?), **analyse** the **packets** (read[ **Pcaps analysis**](../pcap-inspection/)), search for **weird domains** (domains related to **malware** or **non-existent**).
## PhotoRec
You can find it in [https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk\_Download](https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk\_Download)
It comes with GUI and CLI versions. You can select the **file-types** you want PhotoRec to search for.

## binvis
Check the [code](https://code.google.com/archive/p/binvis/) and the [web page tool](https://binvis.io/#/).
### Features of BinVis
* Visual and active **structure viewer**
* Multiple plots for different focus points
* Focusing on portions of a sample
* **Seeing stings and resources**, in PE or ELF executables e. g.
* Getting **patterns** for cryptanalysis on files
* **Spotting** packer or encoder algorithms
* **Identify** Steganography by patterns
* **Visual** binary-diffing
BinVis is a great **start-point to get familiar with an unknown target** in a black-boxing scenario.
# Specific Data Carving Tools
## FindAES
Searches for AES keys by searching for their key schedules. Able to find 128. 192, and 256 bit keys, such as those used by TrueCrypt and BitLocker.
Download [here](https://sourceforge.net/projects/findaes/).
