Hi,
I'm interested in computer forensics; I know there are tools out there to
handle data recovery automatically.... However, this doesn't really teach me
anything!
I understand (albeit, not in great detail) what happens when you delete
files, format/partition drives, etc. But how do I go about manually
recovering data (/repairing the drive)??
What low level tools should I be using??
I assume a Hex editor? Which one??
How do I go about repairing the damage partition table, file information,
..... ??
And help would be great!!
Cheers,
Ben

Is this a general question about all the tools available, or would
you care to narrow it down to a specific family of operating system
versions?
For example, the hex edit tool I had that allowed me to
issue direct commands to the disk controller is not likely
going to be of overly much interest to you, considering that
it ran under CP/M and was suitable only for directly accessing
Winchester controllers that used the ST506 interface. That was
20 years ago.
