kandi X-RAY | BlockHashLoc Summary

BlockHashLoc is a Python library. BlockHashLoc has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. However BlockHashLoc build file is not available. You can download it from GitHub.

The purpose of BlockHashLoc is to enable the recovery of files after total loss of File System structures, or without even knowing what FS was used in the first place. The way it can recover a given file is by keeping a (small) parallel BHL file with a list of crypto-hashes of all the blocks (of selectable size) that compose it. So it's then possible to read blocks from a disk image/volume, calculate their hashes, compare them with the saved ones and rebuild the original file. With adequately sized blocks (512 bytes, 4KB, etc. depending on the media and File System), this let one recover a file regardless of the FS used, or the FS integrity, or the fragmentation level.
