# scalpel
Scalpel is a fast file carver that reads a database of header and footer definitions and extracts matching files from a set of image files or raw device files.
Scalpel is filesystem-independent and will carve files from FATx, NTFS, ext2/3, or raw partitions.
It is useful for both digital forensics investigation and file recovery.
Scalpel resulted from a complete rewrite of foremost 0.69, a popular open source file carver, to enhance performance and decrease memory usage.
