$Recycle.Bin Recovery

We have added a new Intelli-Carve® recovery engine for $Recycle.Bin entries. The recovery module allows you to select a number of different output formats:

 

OLE2 Compound File Recovery

We have considerably enhanced the OLE2 Compound File recovery and detection routines and added support for the following Compound binary files:

  • Microsoft Outlook MSG files
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer TabRoaming files
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer TabRoamingLocal files
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer Machine Info files

Recovery Profile Configuration

We have now added support for signed length markers and multipliers when creating your own recovery profiles in Blade®. You can now select:

  • Int8 (Little and Big Endian)
  • Int16 (Little and Big Endian)
  • Int32 (Little and Big Endian)
  • In64 (Little and Big Endian)

This allows you to use negative values in length markers and multipliers. This allows for greater flexibility when designing data recovery profiles.

We have also increased the maximum length for recovery to 32 GiB.
