Database WAL Recovery

Acerca de

Provides a comprehensive framework for extracting data from SQLite Write-Ahead Log (WAL) files that are corrupted, encrypted, or seemingly missing. It emphasizes rigorous investigation of tool discrepancies, systematic decryption attempts such as XOR or compression analysis, and the absolute avoidance of data fabrication. This skill is essential for forensic database work, recovering uncommitted transactions, and resolving discrepancies between file system listings and database access tools to ensure data integrity during recovery.
