This must be one of the first days in a while where there was virtually no activity on this forum. Even other forums were pretty dead today. We must all be busy with actual work or something. :lol:

As requested I've added forums for Forensics and Cyber Security as well as a section for forensic tools such as X-ways. If anyone has any suggestions of other forensic tools you'd like a section for please let me know and I can add it. I've noticed a lot more malware and ransomware discussion...

What do you guys think? This site http://www.filesaversdatarecovery.com has this phrase under their logo: "The Data Recovery Medics" Seems like trademark infringement to me. I normally wouldn't care, except that they created a Cranston, RI page. No one outside of RI has ever heard of...

I've made a new little estimator tool to quote jobs online for those who don't want to pick up the phone. Looking for feedback: https://www.data-medics.com/cost-of-dat ... ine-quote/

Does anyone know of a way to disable a copy of the SA in ROM? I can see that I can edit regions and whatnot, but the issue I'm having is that copy 1 of the SA is really destroyed and it's making the drive unstable to image. I can get the drive to ID and read sectors fine now just off of head 0...

So today my stock image site http://www.dollarphotoclub.com finally shut down as part of their sale to Adobe stock, who greedily wants 3x the price per image and lets your unused images that you pay for expire (not happy). I'll never give a single penny to Adobe Stock if for no good reason than...

OK, so I've got my nightmare of the month case here. Just to quickly recap what's been done. 4TB WD Red drive had a blown motor chip on the PCB. Customer tried replacing the PCB themselves with new one and ROM transfer (cooking new PCB in the process, but didn't harm ROM thankfully). This...

Here's a list of compatible USB to SATA boards for conversion: USB ---------> SATA Confirmed: G3448A --------> G003235B or G003235C G003309A -----> G003235B or G003235C G003296A -----> G003138A or G003235C G003250A -----> G003138A G003054A -----> G002825A G3959A --------> G3918A G003189A...

Here's the Diablo3D family LDR's:

Does anyone have a copy of this virus? I want to do some VM sandbox tests to see exactly what it does and determine what options are available for possible recovery. Please let me know if you have it, but don't post it here. Wouldn't want someone to get infected from reading this forum.

Does anyone else see something wrong with this picture and caption taken at Drivesavers: http://www.pcmag.com/slideshow_viewer/0 ... o=4,00.asp I'm pretty sure running a drive with the top cover removed is a really bad way to recover data. Should we tell the guys at DriveSavers they're doing...

Look at this site: hxxp://www.raiddatarecovery.org (I xx'd out the url so they don't get the backlink) They totally ripped off my site. They copied the content so hard, they didn't even remember to change the company name in some places such as: You can see the service mark "Data Medics"...

Now here's a demonstration using deleted 4K sector size. Obviously it causes more damage with the larger sector size. In this case I deleted only two sectors. Damaged File: Damaged Blocks Removed and Color Fixed: Missing Areas Filled In: And the Original Undamaged File for Comparison:

OK, I've made a quick sample to show what I can do in this JPEG repair process. This is using a picture I actually took and damaged on purpose for this comparison. First I deleted about a dozen sectors at 3 locations in the jpg, resulting in this: Then I removed the damaged jpeg stream...

I've been working on a solution to effectively repair corrupted jpg files damaged by unread bad sectors, and I think I've finally worked up a solution that's can effectively restore pictures with a few bad sectors to an acceptable condition (the ones that open but the image is shifted...

I'm creating this sticky to track which utility is able to work with which Toshiba branded drives, since the model numbers don't match the utility names. Here's what I've collected so far: DT01ABA300 = 7210DLE6 ARM Utility DT01ACA300 = 7210DLE6 ARM Utility DT01ACA100 = 7210DLE6 ARM Utility...

So today I just discovered something about Seagate part numbers, perhaps you guys already know this. The Fourth Digit: Is the Interface Type (generally 0 for IDE, and 1 for SATA) So you can look for donors with the opposite one if it's a model they made both versions of. E.G.: These two are...

Anyone know a good method to remove a couple sliders that are stuck to the platters? And not on the top platter but rather sandwiched in between like you see here: And a video where you can see them both: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pel1t3dFUHI&feature=youtu.be

Here's an odd case that I'm just finishing up. It's a Samsung HM500JI drive. It ID's and shows correct capacity but errors out immediately on any attempt to access sectors. Does take a little long to come ready, but only about 40 seconds. I check modules and it has damaged A-List and...

So today I'm having a really odd issue that's getting in the way of progress....Suddenly, every computer here can only browse to SSL websites. Anything non SSL just doesn't respond. It can't be anything on the computers, because it's all of them, even ones that have been offline for weeks...
