.. My advice would be to avoid / boycot their products. Distrust anyone advising, suggesting their products. Good chance you're talking to someone pretending to having used their product, only pretending. u/larossmann

This was in a spam comment that was caught by the AutoModerator:

"Download 4DDiG trial ,run deep scam"

I thought it was funny .. u/larossmann see you did a post on 4DDiG too (on your website).

They use dozens of accounts to spread their shit. This is just one and the same thread. Just to be clear, these are FAKE comments and reviews!

It's a bit boring TBH ;)

I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Clinton!

Also, last few days I almost had a full time job removing and banning low karma accounts "stand up" for WRD, with unverifiable reviews, insults and accusations of biased moderation.

I will not remove comments that offer actual rebuttal of what u/larossmann is claiming, but I will remove insults, spamming of a certain video in support of WRD by a certain individual I wouldn't buy a used car from, unverifiable claims, and casting doubt on moderation.

u/larossmann

As you may or may not have noticed, u/gonenutsbrb stepped back as final remaining moderator. We thank him for his years of service and we thank him for let some new people try now. New mods will have some discussion to do to see what direction they'll take. We are waiting for a 3rd mod to accept.

For the time being I took the liberty to assign certain people the use flair "Trusted Contributor" to help those who are asking for help in this place can somehow determine the reliability of the advice given without having to rely on down/up votes solely. I will assign user flair based on what I know already, and will approach people which I suspect are expert and to confirm.

If you have a certain data recovery expertise that's you'd like to share in this community, please drop me or the other mods a note so we may apply the user flair. Or use Mod Mail of course.

Since the last posts about Easy Disk Checker (free, multi-purpose disk utility), version 5.x has shipped with a brand new Data Recovery branch. As someone who's been doing data recovery professionally since 2003, I tried to build features that would help both regular users and myself in day-to-day work.

Easy Disk Checker datarecovery option

File recovery

Two goals here. With R-Studio sitting there as the industry flagship, I wanted to (a) not embarrass myself on the file-structure analysis side, and (b) add the options I personally kept wishing existed.

File recovery

The result is a modest "Smart Save" button that hides a fairly serious on-the-fly sorting algorithm. It's meant to cut down on the "I recovered my files but they won't open" support requests — common enough that we once had to write a whole article about it. The same heuristic kicks in for "Full search + RAW" mode.

Smart save option

Another classic mistake: people save recovered files back onto the same partition they're reading from, corrupt everything, and lose the chance to try again. Nobody reads warnings, so Easy Disk Checker just won't let you save to the source partition.

RAID recovery

Keeping with the "easy-style" theme — one-click virtual assembly of RAID arrays from disks or images. The program detects type and format from metadata, assembles virtually, and lets you browse the contents in a built-in explorer across all supported filesystems: FAT*, NTFS, Ext*, HFS/APFS, XFS, BtrFS.

Raid reconstruct

DVR/CCTV recovery

Same one-click approach for DVR/CCTV disks and images. There's an option to search for deleted or inaccessible recordings, and it works on disks that Windows "helpfully" initialized — the ones the recorder itself can no longer read afterward. Currently supports Hikvision (WFS 0.4) and LinuxGroupDVR formats, based on images users sent me. I'll add more as someone share more samples.

DVR recognizes

DVR structure open

Ransomware-encrypted disk analysis

This branch exists because of how often companies come to me with encrypted servers and workstations.

Ransomware analysis

The volume of these cases is genuinely alarming. And I have yet to see a server compromised by some elite hacker — every single case I've worked on came down to sysadmin negligence. A recent court ruling spelled it out: the contractors, mid-migration, set every password to "123456", handed admin rights to every account, then went off for the weekend. The database got wiped, 80% of the company's data was lost, and the court ruled the contractors liable.

Anyway — analyzing the system disk that initiated the encryption doesn't guarantee recovery, but it can sometimes get files back without paying ransom. The tool collects analytical data from every weakness and quirk I've seen ransomware leave behind over the years. It processes system and corrupted files directly, and also runs heuristics below the filesystem level. The output report is encrypted with a pub+pem keypair — no point handing the malware authors a free QA report on their bugs.

You can download the new version from the support page or install via the Microsoft Store, to keep the spam filters/automod happy, I'll put the download links in the comments. Bug reports and feature requests welcome — I act on them fast.

What a fucking piece of crap software this is. WTF is this and HOW the fuck get rid of it, you fucking pi

Photo and video recovery is somewhat of a niche that I specialize in. Hope I can help some folks help themselves.

He deleted his reply to me. His first activity in this group since two years.

• What I am looking for is a better functioning sub, where knowledgeable people feel welcome to offer help.
• What I am looking for is that comments that are objectively harmful you a user's data get removed.
• What I am looking for is some clear rules and guide lines and active moderation to enforce those instead of the toxic laissez faire shit we currently have.
• What I am looking for is for the mods to hand over the sub to people who actually put in the work. That answer questions, day in, day out.
• What I am looking for is some automation implemented so it's clear to new users and first time askers how they can help us, help them.

If you agree with me, I need your support now more than ever. Upvote this post to let u/gonenutsbrb we seriously want this sub to be better.

We have a pinned "subreddit request for input" that was posted 5 years ago, nothing was done with it, and many of the regulars contributing to that thread have given up on this subreddit. Many of them were data recovery pros with tons of experience to share.

What's up with all the downvotes?! This sub is getting shittier by the day. People making an effort every single day get downvoted and get replaced by folks from Dunning-Kruger University giving answers straight away based on zero information, almost no one giving a fuck about posting guidelines, posting guidelines getting downvotes every day. What a shit show. Almost all regulars with decades of data recovery experience hardly comment anymore, what a waste. Such a shame.
