Free data recovery software for linux

GNU DDD is a graphical front-end for command-line debuggers such as GDB, DBX, WDB, Ladebug, JDB, XDB, the Perl debugger, the bash debugger, or the Python debugger.

Besides "usual front-end features such as viewing source texts, DDD has become famous through its interactive graphical data display, where data structures are displayed as graphs.

Plan-B is a bootable Linux environment without the need for a hard drive, it runs entirely in ram or from the cd, based on a basic, stripped installation of Red Hat Linux and the fundamental workings of the SuperRescue CD. A list of tools and utilities are also included for projects such as:

* Forensics/Data Recovery
* System/Network Analysis and Security Scanning
* Temporary Network Device/Server
* IDS / NIDS System
* Network Status Report Creation

My reason for its creation came about due to finding other similar projects (SuperRescue CD, Biatchux (F.I.R.E.), Trinux, Knoppix) to be geared toward only a single area of the broad spectrum I was looking for. The first of which (by H. Peter Anvin, the author of Syslinux, Isolinux, and zisofs) was the only one close to the concept I had in mind which is why I chose it as the foundation for this cd. After not finding what I was really looking for, the "All-in-One", I decided the only way to get it was to build one myself.

Crash Recovery for Linux sounds a bit superfluous. Linux is regarded as one of todays most stable Operating Systems. In the case of some hardware failure like a broken disk it can however be handy.
Of course your machine doesnt have to have linux installed to make use of the CRK kit. There are several uses and purposes for the CRK to be used. To name a few :
- recovery of a trashed LILO boot record. How many times does it happen that some person installs windows 98/95 after he/she installed linux? Well in that case windows 9X just overwrites the MBR record and linux wont be able to boot anymore.
- backup over the network in the form of tar.gz tarballs. Both FAT16, FAT32, ext2 and all filesystems which Linux supports in a read/write fashion can be taken care of. The strong part of the CRK is when a disk is replaced or repartitioning is being done. The CRK boots a complete mini linux with networking where all possible hardware which is inside the Linux kernel is available.
- Testing hardware of new intel based machines.
- Detecting versions and types of hardware. The Linux kernel holds a large database of hardware supported. Booting a linux kernel doesnt only resolve if the hardware is ok, it also show its specs. This can be handy if one wants to check-out an old/new PC which is for sale.
- Recovery of a misconfigured or hacked Linux system. Well that can happen. /etc/fstab can be wrong or the root password is unknown etc.
- make a tape backup of a disk which cant be booted anymore.
The CRK is based on RedHat Linux. I have always used RedHat systems, thats why. When my system needed maintenance the rescue floppy image which RedHat supplies didnt fullfill my needs.
Thats why i created the CRK. Lately i use Mandrake. How and why the CRK was created read the short history. The CRK is licensed under the GNU Public License (GPL).

Operator is a complete Linux (Debian) distribution that runs from a single bootable CD and runs entirely in RAM.
The Operator contains an extensive set of Open Source network security tools that can be used for monitoring and discovering networks.
This virtually can turn any PC into a network security pen-testing device without having to install any software. Operator also contains a set of computer forensic and data recovery tools that can be used to assist you in data retrieval on the local system.
Starting with the 3.3 version of Operator, we have started completely from scratch by installing a basic Debian installation then adding the KNOPPIX functionality afterwards. This allowed us to have more control and understanding of what is on the CD.

Kryptor is a graphical tool to encrypt files using the algorithm ARCS. Kryptor is also possible to erase files by overwriting data with a pseudo-random sequence of bytes iterated three times, which will make data recovery a very complex operation.

Installation:

The simplest way to compile this package is:

1. `cd to the directory containing the packages source code and type `./configure to configure the package for your system. If youre using `csh on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure instead to prevent `csh from trying to execute `configure itself.

Running `configure takes a while. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.

2. Type `make to compile the package.

3. Type `make install to install the programs and any data files and documentation.

4. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean.

Whats New in This Release:

ï¿1⁄2 Some compiling bugs were fixed.

Data.FormValidators aim is to bring all the benefits of the perl module Data::FormValidator over to javascript, using the same input profiles (they can be dumped into javascript objects using the perl module Data::JavaScript.
Data.FormValidator library lets you define profiles which declare the required and optional fields and any constraints they might have.
The results are provided as an object which makes it easy to handle missing and invalid results, return error messages about which constraints failed, or process the resulting valid data.
IMPORTANT NOTE: JavaScript form validation is NOT a replacement for data validation in your backend scripts. This is the primary reason this module was written... so that it would be easy to share the same validation profile for both the frontend (via Data.FormValidator.js) and backend (via Data::FormValidator.pm).
Enhancements:
- A problem where some functions were not terminated by a semi-colon, so JavaScript compactors would end up creating broken code was fixed.

Common Data Format is a self-describing data abstraction for the storage and manipulation of multidimensional data in a platform- and discipline-independent fashion.
It consists of a scientific data management package (known as the "CDF Library") that allows programmers and application developers to manage and manipulate scalar, vector, and multi-dimensional data arrays.
Enhancements:
- Adds new sets of APIs to allow Standard Interface to interact with zVariables and other CDF-related information.
- Adds MingW and FreeBSD ports.
- Adds support for Intel C++ and Fortran for Linux.
- Adds the ability to create legacy CDF 2.7 files.
- Fixes a bug that prevented directories from having .cdf or .skt extensions.

The Virtual Data Center (VDC) is a digital library system "in a box" for numeric data.

The VDC is a web application which provides everything necessary to maintain and disseminate collections of research studies: including facilities for the storage, archiving, cataloging, translation, and dissemination of each collection.

It includes on-line analysis, powered by the R Statistical environment. It also provides extensive support for distributed and federated collections including: location-independent naming of objects, distributed authentication and access control, federated metadata harvesting, remote repository caching, and distributed virtual
