What is Digler?

Digler is a tool for forensic disk analysis and file recovery. It's designed to help you unearth lost or deleted data from various disk images and raw devices.

Why Digler?

While many data recovery tools exist, few offer a combination of simplicity, flexibility, and modern design focused on deep disk analysis and effective file carving.

Digler was created to fill this gap by providing a streamlined, plugin-extensible command-line tool that makes data recovery easier and more efficient without the complexity of heavyweight GUIs or fragmented workflows.

Built in Go, Digler leverages the language’s strengths in performance, cross-platform support, and maintainability to deliver a fast and dependable solution for today’s data recovery challenges.

Features:

  • Broad Disk Image and Raw Device Support: Analyze a wide array of disk image formats (.dd, .img, etc...) or directly access physical disks.
  • File System Agnostic Analysis: Recover deleted files regardless of the underlying file system (e.g., NTFS, FAT32, ext4), even when metadata is lost.
  • Plugin-Based Extensibility: Support for custom file scanners through plugins, simplifying integration with new file formats.
  • Reporting Capabilities: Generate detailed reports, compliant with the Digital Forensics XML (DFXML) format, of recovered data and analysis findings.
  • Post-Scan Data Recovery: Utilize the generated DFXML reports to precisely recover specific files.
  • Intuitive Command-Line Interface: A user-friendly CLI designed for efficiency and ease of use.
