foremost

Foremost is a console program to recover files based on their headers, footers, and internal data structures. This process is commonly referred to as data carving. Foremost can work on image files, such as those generated by dd, Safeback, Encase, etc, or directly on a drive. The headers and footers can be specified by a configuration file or you can use command line switches to specify built-in file types. These built-in types look at the data structures of a given file format allowing for a more reliable and faster recovery. Originally developed by the United States Air Force Office of Special Investigations and The Center for Information Systems Security Studies and Research , foremost has been opened to the general public. We welcome any comments, suggestions, patches, or feedback you have on this program. Please direct all correspondence to [email protected]. (by korczis)

    Just so you know, I threw just about everything I could think of at those images and came up with zilch. Yes, including that. And that. (Don't forget, steghide doesn't work on PNGs anyway.) No, there isn't any interesting metadata in any of the files as far as I can tell. No hidden alpha layers. I even tried stacking the only four images that are all the same size -- numbers 1, 2, 12, and 15, for the record -- on top of each other and messed around with the opacity to see if they'd add up to anything. Nada.
