I'm able to obtain file names and their contents from vdi image using grep
despite the files were deleted. Example output:
MICROS~3.DLLans0��1FR�b��?,|�R��?,|�R��?,|�R�� !Microsoft.Transactions.Bridge.dll�H^@�x�x�1_��9�����yFILE0��m8��`HFR�b��FR�b��o�}�R��o�}�R�� �0xZ1FR�b��o�}�R��o�}�R��o�}�R��
When I mount the vdi image using vdfuse
, grep
can't find the same information. I've also tried wiping free space with sdelete
, but without effect. How could I remove this information?
Update: Example output with email:
file.ext.LCK0xZ��0̮=T��0̮=T��0̮=T��0̮=T��
FILEEX~1.LCK�X<NAMENAMENAME__aaaaaaaaa@aaaa.aaa.aa�����yGFILE0��l8��`H�y���y��v�R��v�R�� �0xZ1�y��O�t�R��O�t�R��O�t�R��
You want some sort of free space sanitation utility. Note that such is normally distinct from rewriting unused parts of the file system. This is unrelated to VirtualBox. Keep in mind that outright software recommendation questions are off-topic on Super User. – a CVn – 2015-05-18T11:09:56.323
