What is your filesystem, anyway? Is files with no names better than no files at all? I don't know a tool that can put back "rm -rf" like it never was, you deleted them so take what you can get. Depending on file type, there may be metadata in the files that'd help name them anyway. You'll need to decrypt it into a format that looks like a normal volume for nearly any tool to touch it. Much the same idea as photorec, but more powerful, capable of extracting more kinds of files. Also sloooooooooooooooow.

I've been using a live cd since I did it.

Any idea how? I have read every guide I can find on the internet with no luck.

What does Magic Rescue do that photorec can't do?

Recovering lost files

I noticed this in a search for more security tools... It IS possible to "undelete" a file; I suppose recover would be a better term for it. I suppose we've all made the boo-boo (that we all hopefully learned from) of deleting a file, and finding that you do not have a backup. I wouldn't...

pdb2mdb

pdb2mdb(1)						      General Commands Manual							pdb2mdb(1)

NAME

       pdb2mdb - Program Database to Mono Debugging Symbol converter.

SYNOPSIS

       pdb2mdb pdb_file

DESCRIPTION

       This  tool  is  used  to convert debugging symbols generated by Microsoft's compilers into debugging symbols that can be consumed by Mono's
       runtime.

       Program Database files are files that end with the extension .pdb and are associated with a library or executable (a .dll  or  .exe  file).
       This  format  was until recently not documented so Mono used its own file format for storing debugging information, the Mono debugging for-
       mat.

       Just like PDB files Mono Debugging information is stored in files that reside side-by-side with a program executable or a library.

       You can use the pdb2mdb tool to transform these PDB files into MDB files that Mono can then consume to debug programs or provide  line-num-
       ber information for stack traces or exceptions.

LICENSE

       The  pdb2mdb tool is  released under the terms of the Microsoft Public License (MS-PL).	JB Evain wrote the tool.   The PDB reading support
       came from Microsoft Common Compiler Infrastructure.
