    Summary: Recover files by "carving" them from a raw disk
    Description: 
    Foremost recovers files files based on their headers, footers, and
    internal data structures. This process is commonly referred to as data
    carving. Foremost can work on a raw disk drive or image file generated
    by dd. The headers and footers can be specified by a configuration
    file or you can use command line switches to specify built-in file
    types. These built-in types look at the data structures of a given
    file format allowing for a more reliable and faster recovery.
