Re: [sleuthkit-users] New Open-Source Forensic Tool for SQLite Data Recovery

[Luís F. N. <lfc...@gm...>]

Good paper, thanks for pointing it out. The tool seems promising. As the
article says it is distributed under MPL v2 or GNU GPL v3, I wonder where
the source code can be found, I just found the binaries in the referenced
site. In the tool GUI just GNU GPL v3 is shown without any reference to the
source...

Best regards,
Luis Nassif
