Attempt at analyzing an SD card image file

(1/1)

Andrey_irk:
Hi guys,
I have an image file that was taken from an SD card of come device. What are the ways out there to analyze such an image on a binary level without mounting the image on an actual card?
Any suggestions are much appretiated.

Halcyon:
What sort of data are you wanting to get back?

You could try just mounting the image in something like XWays Forensics/WinHex or another similar tool and see if will parse the file system. Otherwise if you want to carve for particular files, QPhotoRec does a good job with media files, or GetDataBack Free is also not bad.

If you just want to look at the raw data, WinHex, HxD or any hex editor of your choice will do.

Once you have seen the light,

--- Code: ---cp image.bin backup.bin  <- just to be safe
file image.bin
fdisk -l image.bin
# if it contains partitions, then
losetup -P -r -v -f image.bin
file -s /dev/loop*
# if they look like reasonable filesystems
mount /dev/loopNpM /tmp/dummy
ls /tmp/dummy
--- End code ---
You get the idea :P

So, SO true.
