Need help to make a custom signature

[frevab]

Hi there

I nbeed some help to make a custom signature.
I have tried it but did not work.

The file extention is .CbWgc
The content of the files starts with "CamBFile" (see attach screenprint of the hex editor)

So I use Notepad and typed:

pfi 0 "CamBFile"

and saved the notepad file as photorec.sig as the instructions on http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Add_your ... o_PhotoRec suggested.

What did I do wrong?

I located the file in the same folder as the PhotoRec_Win.exe as I want to recover this file from a external drive.

Create a photorec.sig file with
<code>
CbWgc 0 "CamBFile"
</code>
Check that the filename is ok, not photorec.sig.txt.

does not work

c:\testdisk-7.1-WIP>fidentify_win photorec.sig
photorec.sig: unknown


also with other file name:
c:\testdisk-7.1-WIP>fidentify_win test.sig
test.sig: unknown

tried notepad file saved with ANSi code as well as UTF-8 code.

What do I do wrong?

To check the signature, use

Code: Select all

c:\testdisk-7.1-WIP>fidentify_win sample_file.CbWgc

Thanks you fo your help but I could recover the files without using PhotoRec in the end (see my other post).
