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
