TestDisk is OpenSource software and is licensed under the GNU Public License (GPL).

TestDisk is a powerful free data recovery utility! It was primarily designed to help recover lost partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms are caused by faulty software, certain types of viruses or human error (such as accidentally erasing your Partition Table). Partition table recovery using TestDisk is really easy.

TestDisk can find lost partitions for all of these file systems:

• BeFS ( BeOS )
• BSD disklabel ( FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD )
• CramFS, Compressed File System
• DOS/Windows FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32
• HFS and HFS+, Hierarchical File System
• JFS, IBMs Journaled File System
• Linux Ext2 and Ext3
• Linux Raid
• RAID 1: mirroring
• RAID 4: striped array with parity device
• RAID 5: striped array with distributed parity information
• RAID 6: striped array with distributed dual redundancy information
• Linux Swap (versions 1 and 2)
• LVM and LVM2, Linux Logical Volume Manager
• Mac partition map
• Novell Storage Services NSS
• NTFS ( Windows NT/2K/XP/2003 )
• ReiserFS 3.5, 3.6 and 4
• Sun Solaris i386 disklabel
• Unix File System UFS and UFS2 (Sun/BSD/...)
• XFS, SGIs Journaled File System.

PhotoRec is file data recovery software designed to recover lost pictures or lost files from digital camera memory (CompactFlash, Memory Stick, SecureDigital, SmartMedia, Microdrive, MMC, USB Memory Drives...), even Hard Disks and CDRom.
It works at least with FAT, NTFS, EXT2/EXT3 filesystem even if they are severely damaged.
PhotoRec is safe to use, it will never attempt to write to the drive or memory support you are about to recover from. Recovered files are instead written in the directory from where you are running the PhotoRec program.
PhotoRec is free, it is distributed under GNU Public License.
Enhancements:
- Many improvements and support for new file formats.

If your Ridata SD 2GB 150x is recognized as 1GB after re-format, please download this fix program (mac users 10.X.) and the card will be recovered to 2GB.

This recovery software is applied to all Windows users

NOTE : The program can not support 4GB SD RECOVER 4GB capacity, because the program support 2GB RECOVER ONLY..

If the command line is not your thing - heres a GUI front-end for unrar.
UnRarX is a Mac OS X Cocoa application that allows you to expand rar archives and restore corrupted or missing archives using par2.
Drag-and-Drop extraction. Built-in par2 recovery. Written by Peter Noriega.
See the About UnRarX menu for more info. Based on unrar 3.60
Enhancements:
- Universal Binary version of UnRarX is now available.
- Version 2.2 includes current universal binary versions of unrar and par2 command line applications.
- UnRarX now includes automatic update functionality thanks to Sparkle Framework by Andy Matuschak.

Track Destroyer is a privacy tool that helps you precisely scan and incinerate incriminating data on your computer.
Unlike some other privacy protection tools which only delete the files and thus can be easily recovered by some data recovery tool, our Track Destroyer completely remove those files from your hard disk without the possibility to recover it by any practical software or hardware methods.
Main features:
- Erase history for over 50 applications!
- Clean system caches, logs and empty the trash.
- Securely wipes files with a three-pass write.
- Smart recent items discoverer scans system preferences for details which appear to be logging activity and removes them.
Enhancements:
- New Feature: You can now authenticate the application for root,so you no longer have to enter your username/password again.
- New Feature: Progress bar for deletion status.

Raw Photo Processor is a very useful RAW converter, supporting almost all available digital RAW formats made for photographers by a photographer-programmer with unmeasurable amount of help and tutoring from my friend, professional photographer Iliah Borg.
We just got fed up with those converters made by programmers for their upper management :)
Think of it as of a development machine in terms of film photography - first you have to develop your roll right, then do whatever you want with it.
So this is NOT a full featured photo processing package, you will need Photoshop or some other tool to apply sharpness, cropping and so on, but you may use RPP for some very limited amount of operations.
Let me list those operations below with some explanations:
4-channel white balance - this is probably the most important operation in RAW processing and it has to be applied at very early stages of processing.
- Exposure compensation - another very sensitive step, should use high precision math to preserve shadows and highlights and it is almost impossible to make it properly during post-processing in Photoshop.
- Saturation - very tricky operation, because it has to account for specifics in humans color perception and traditionally its implemented with very crude methods. Im trying to keep up with Color Science and using a lot more sophisticated approach.
- Brightness and contrast - these represent my and Iliahs Borg attempts to create tone curve adjustments based on actual film density measures in different development modes. After all you finally should be able to obtain that dearly-looking film-like tonality in your pictures.
- Interpolation - RPP supports 3 methods at the moment. AHD, VNG and Half - all modified versions of Dave Coffins implementations in dcraw. Actually Half is not interpolation - this is a half resolution recombination when four single-colored pixels (RGBG) combined to one RGB, very fast, color accurate, but at price of lost resolution.
- Highlights recovery - a simple tool to neutralize clipped channels if present (f.e. the "pink sky" problem).
Enhancements:
- New feature - monochrome mode. This includes Photobrom Black, Bromportret Sepia, Iodocont Green, Iodocont Blue and experimental Red-O-Green profiles. All made by Iliah Borg as always. All of them measured from real photo papers. In this mode channel balance sliders act like a channel mixer, so you may adjust influence of each channel on overall tonality individually.
- Added custom profile for Olympus E410.
- Help menu - provide feedback and copy crash log to clipboard (so you can paste to email for me). Also it gives easy access to RPPs document file.
- Copy Tags option state is preserved between restarts and also now it copies embedded to Raw IPTC info (if you have any).
- Fixed red dots issue AKA weird colors in clipped highlights or shadows.
- Other fixes and UI tweaks. F.e. Local Contrast may be disabled now without loosing its value and you may quickly check its effect on an image.
