Passionate about the art and science of digital forensics.
MARS is a data extraction and recovery toolkit for macOS that salvages and recovers SQLite, plist, log, and cache data from a set of raw, carved files and matches them with artifacts of forensic interest from a reference system.
In some cases, MARS can recover thousands more database rows and hundreds of extra days of data beyond what exists in the original reference files alone.

A desktop companion for the file recovery application PhotoRec that helps you auto-remove filetypes you don't want — and keep the carved files organized.
- Live‑monitors PhotoRec’s output and automatically deletes unwanted types in completed
recup_dir.Xfolders - One‑click “Process” for existing PhotoRec output that’s already finished
- Optional reorganization into type‑based folders with configurable subfolder batch sizes
