dfrws/dfrws2007-challenge

The DFRWS 2007 Challenge is about data carving, which is a file recovery technique that is frequently used during digital investigations. Files are "carved" from the unallocated space using file type-specific information, such as footers, headers, and internal structures. The results of existing file carving tools typically contain many false positives. An investigator must test each of the extracted files by opening them in an application that supports the file type. The goal of the DFRWS 2007 Challenge was to design and develop file carving algorithms that identify more files and reduce the number of false positives.
