Visual NAND Reconstructor 3.5 update

Visual NAND Reconstructor 3.5 update

Dear users,

We are excited to publish next huge software update right before the conference! This one is simply amazing! There are three truly revolutionary and new unique tools we added:

• New File carver with integrity control

• New SQLite carver

• New Smart Read Retry algorithms (beta)

This is a new mode that allows to find files bypassing file system. It can find a file and tell exactly how good or bad the file is using built-in integrity control. Now you can find files in the cases where file system is corrupted, you can analyze fragments of pages and blocks of flash memory or recover deleted files with precision that hasn’t been achievable before.

You can scan image using file carver or open file system viewer in order to check integrity/quality of files (it’s not just a header check, it is internal file integrity check!).

There are several file formats fully supported now:

• JPEG

• MS Office (docx, xlsx, pptx, and others)

• Zip archives

• Other files which based on zip archives (Open Office files, etc.)

The new file carver can not only find and check JPEG files but also save damaged files into three separate folders: Bit errors (light damage), Medium damage (fragments of picture can be shifted and puzzled) and Critical damage (file cannot be opened). We know for sure this will save you hours!

The new SQLite carver allows to automatically create carving template which can retrieve all possible data from every corner of dump in allocated and unallocated space. It works on database files, partitions and the whole dump. It can automatically recognize various data types and use the appropriate converters to transform data to a readable form.

There are few simple steps you need to perform in order to retrieve deleted data from practically any app

Rereading NAND flash with read retry helps to adjust reading protocol and significantly improve quality of data. All newest chips have built-in Read Retry mechanism and its usage is the only way to correct majority or all ECC uncorrectable bit errors. In the current version of software it is specifically designed for particular memory chips and available by request to support team.

Before Read Retry

After Read Retry

• ECC autodetection results are saved even if the window is closed

• Select multiple blocks in markers table and change Use flag by clicking the space bar

• Infobox with page and block size on toolbar for current element

• Copy and paste dump structure on multiple element selection

• Default read only flag is removed on Phy image

• Click Esc to remove the selection

• Bitmap zooms with Ctrl +/- buttons

• BCR element now has a bad cloumn counter

And lot more fixes and improvements.
