Statistical byte frequency analysis for identifying JPEG file segments

File carving is a file recovery technique based on file structure, without the assistance of file system metadata. The important concern here is how file recovery can take place for the file segments that cannot be linked to an existing image header. This project focuses on identifying JPEG file for...

Computer science File carving is a file recovery technique based on file structure, without the assistance of file system metadata.
