RecoverPy

Interactively find and recover deleted or :point_right: overwritten :point_left: files from your terminal

RecoverPy demo

DESCRIPTION

RecoverPy is a terminal-based tool that allows you to interactively search for and recover deleted or overwritten files by scanning raw disk blocks for specific byte patterns.

It operates by performing a byte-level, memory-bounded scan of your partition, helping you locate fragments of data that have not yet been overwritten without needing to reconstruct complex file system structures.

Designed for Linux, it features an intuitive Textual-based UI that lets you inspect search results, navigate adjacent disk blocks, and extract meaningful content directly from your terminal.

INSTALLATION

$ python -m pip install recoverpy
