We will be dealing with the disk image of a flash drive partition, so let’s make one using the “dd” command. This isn’t a mandatory step, it just makes things easier to access by making a new folder where the carved data will be stored. Next, make a folder on the desktop by the name of “recov”.
In order to keep things simple, you first want to navigate to the Desktop using “cd Desktop”. Click on it and let’s get to carving some data!!įoremost starts and shows you the options you have at your disposal.
The fifth option from top in the Forensics menu is Foremost. Navigate to the A pplications menu in Kali, Forensics is option 11. We have used Kali Linux but if you want you can install Foremost on pretty much any distro of Linux. The purpose of doing so was to see if Foremost can carve data out of incomplete disk images as well. Foremost is a program that is used to carve data from disk image files, it is an extremely useful tool and very easy to use.įor the purpose of this article we have used an Ubuntu disk image file and the process has been repeated twice.
