lde is a disk editor for linux, originally written to help recover
deleted files. It has a simple ncurses interface that looks
and feels like an old version of Norton Disk Edit for DOS. lde is 100
percent free under the Gnu public license.
 There is a bug/misfeature in the Linux 2.0 kernels that will make undelete fairly hard. When files are deleted, all indirect blocks are zeroed. I wrote a small kernel patch and used it successfully for most of last year, but according to Ted, it probably won't work. Looking it over, I think he's right, so I've stopped using and distributing it. Most of the kernel developers are working on Linux 2.1, but if anyone has a fix for 2.0 or wants to work on one, email me. |
I've put a little bit documentation on this site. There is a very basic walkthrough of the editor which includes something like screenshots. Also, you can read the man page online and a file with some tips on restoring deleted files using lde.
If you are still interested, you can download version 2.4 from:
or from geocities (California, USA):
