Channel16 is a user-friendly graphical tool for exploring ext2 filesystems and recovering deleted files in an interactive manner.
Channel16 is a user-friendly graphical tool that enables users to navigate through the content of deleted files in an ext2 filesystem interactively, and recover them into new files. This application also features a search and rescue operation that lets users input exact text from the deleted file for a more efficient and accurate search.
In using Channel16, the application utilizes the low-level methods provided by e2fsprogs, ensuring a reliable and secure data recovery process. The user interface is implemented using Java Swing while the Java Native Interface (JNI) is used to create a bridge between Java and ext2fs operations.
If you want to build Channel16 from source, there are certain packages that should be installed first. These include the Java SDK, e2fsprog-devel-1.19-4, and the gcc compiler. Once these packages are installed, you can proceed with the following commands: tar xvzf channel16-0.1a.tar.gz, cd channel16-0.1a/exom/channel16, and make install.
For those who simply want to run Channel16 without building from source, there are two necessary packages to be downloaded: Java runtime environment and e2fsprog-1.19-4. It is important to note that at present, the program has only been tested on Linux (RedHat 7.1).
Overall, Channel16 is an excellent software tool that offers a simple and efficient way to recover deleted files on an ext2 filesystem. Its user-friendly interface, reliable data recovery methods, and convenient search and rescue operation make it a standout choice for users looking to recover their files with ease.
