zorke Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Hi. I was working on a timer program recently, and I stored the entire contents of the source code on my flashdisk. Unfortunately, While i was using another 'foreign" computer, the antivirus or something nuked my source code silently, and it was only after copying several large files on/off the disk that I noticed my source was missing. I tried data recovery (Recuva/etc) but none of them even detected the files. So all I have left is the release version binary I tried TMG Ripper studio with no success at getting the ripped code to work, but I think that there should be some way of getting at least some working code back ..... The program was made in MASM32 with uFMOD. Could someone please help me recover the source? It doesn't have much data, only some variables, handles, strings and several large empty/non-initialized buffers. Only TIMER.EXE has the lost source. I still have the source for schedit.exe. It, and SCHED_DATA.dat are just included so the program works properly... Thanks /zorke timer.zip Link to comment
qpt^J Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 just try IDA, start naming your functions and variables, and then extract source Link to comment
zorke Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 so.... it would be possible to recover at least a working version of the source? since i'm probably going to recode this..... Link to comment
qpt^J Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 well, that depends on your skills, but your app is very tiny, so I think it's possible and won't take too much time Link to comment
redblkjck Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 (edited) I had to recover some data off a flash drive and several programs wouldn't work. I dumped the flash drive to an image file, like a raw copy. Similar to sector by sector of a hard drive. Mounted the image as a drive and then I could recover most of that data. I am trying to find the name of the software I used. EaseUS is coming up but that doesn't look the same as I what I used. It might have been from Runtime, DiskExplorer. The drive that I have the software on is packed up. If I can remember which one I'll post a link.edit: R-Studio ..http://www.data-recovery-software.net/ Edited September 23, 2012 by redblkjck Link to comment
