Custom signature
Posted: 26 Feb 2015, 14:08
Hi All,
Recently I have lost my database files after server (Qnap) reboot.
I need to recover the MYD files.
I know that MYD files doesn't have common file signature.
I've recreated the database from the earlier backup (on local machine) just to check if the signature changes when new data inserted and it seams like the signature bit is not changing.
I'm not sure if that means I have the signature of the file that I'm looking for.
I've tried to create a photorec.sig file and entered MYD 0 0x00010065fe00000100003101aa70010f00 which are the first 34 chars of the hexdump result.
I've saved this file into the current working directory and ~/.photorec.sig and tried to recognize with fidentify_static which always returns unknown.
I don't know what I'm missing.
Regards
