Recovery of Deleted Data and Associated Metadata from XFS and Btrfs Filesystems

Category: Software
Organization: National Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Center (NCIIPC)

Abstract

This project involves creating a Data Recovery Tool for Modern Filesystems like XFS and Btrfs. The tool will focus on recovering deleted files and their associated metadata, which is crucial for forensic investigations.

Key Features

• Advanced Data Recovery: Develop algorithms to recover deleted files from the complex structures of XFS and Btrfs.
• Metadata Extraction: Ensure the recovery of complete metadata, including timestamps and file names, to support forensic timelines.
• User Interface: Provide a user-friendly interface for navigating recovered data and generating reports.

Expected Outcome: The tool will improve data recovery capabilities for modern filesystems, aiding in the reconstruction of events and supporting cybercrime investigations.
