Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 270
A forensic examiner encounters a computer with a failed OS installation and the master boot record (MBR) or partition sector damaged. Which of the following tools can find and restore files and information in the disk?
Answer options
- A. NetCat
- B. Helix
- C. R-Studio
- D. Wireshark
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is R-Studio, which is specifically designed for data recovery and can handle situations with damaged partitions or boot records. NetCat is primarily used for network communication, Helix is a forensic toolkit but not specifically for file recovery, and Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer, making them unsuitable for this task.
