Disk Drivers

Brute Force Analysis

The probably easiest way to analyze a disk drive is:

dd if=/dev/hda1 | strings | egrep -f keywords.txt | less

A list of keywords is here.

To find hidden files on a system, there are two steps to be done:

Check raw disk and create some kind of a view

Check the filesystem whether it reflects the view generated before

A tool doing this is ANCHECK.
