Digler is a forensic disk analysis and file recovery tool written in Go, offering both a CLI and a desktop application. It scans disk images or raw devices to carve out lost or deleted files regardless of filesystem, and reports findings in DFXML format.
Use cases
- recover deleted files from a disk image
- carve photos from a raw device
- analyze a .dd image for lost data
- generate DFXML forensic reports of recovered files
- recover files without relying on filesystem metadata
- extend file carving with custom scanner plugins
When to choose
- you need filesystem-agnostic recovery from disk images or raw devices
- you want a scriptable CLI plus an optional desktop GUI
- you need DFXML-compliant forensic reporting
- you want a lightweight, extensible alternative to heavyweight forensic suites
When to avoid
- you need a mature, battle-tested tool for production forensics (project is in early development)
- you need deep filesystem-level analysis rather than carving
- you require formal forensic validation or court-admissible tooling guarantees
