Re: Would like assistance in adding a custom signature and using TestDisk or PhotoRec to retrieve the file with the sign


As opposed to your initial postings I had to read the last one three times.
Could you specify exactly what you mean by "this behaviour"?



What was strange: The image of my data is on a 5TB drive and in the PhotoRec options, I chose to search the whole partition. The search ends at ~1 hour or ...

Re: Would like assistance in adding a custom signature and using TestDisk or PhotoRec to retrieve the file with the sign

The traps that are likely:


Warning: If you are using a .photorec.sig in your HOME directory, be warned that when running photorec as
root (ie. via the sudo command), photorec will search in /root/.photorec.sig, not in your user home directory.
So you may have to copy the .photorec.sig file first ...

Re: Would like assistance in adding a custom signature and using TestDisk or PhotoRec to retrieve the file with the sign

So I've understood the formula correctly, the signature file would end up looking something like

Code: Select all

jex 32 0x2e6d6400000000000000000000000000
where 32 is the offset and the rest of the line stays as is since it is already in hexadecimal format.

Correct me if I got it wrong :P

Can you see something that is common for all three files? I do!
Where is that something, at which position from the beginning of the file do you find it?


The second line seems be held in common for all three files

The file type in question is JEX (.jex extension) which stands for "Joplin Export File" https ...
