About

mucc is a tool for processing data recovered by scalpel. It's features include:

1. Splitting PDF files into sub-files.
2. Deleting duplicate files, which can be used independently.

How it Works

Retrieving Sub-Files

scalpel parses disk images for %PDF headers and %EOF footers. If max_filsize is set high, the generated files will often consist of several concatenated sub-files. Here mucc finds the nested %PDF and %EOF tags and returns the files with byte sized precision.

Deleting Duplicates

Here mucc calculates the md5 hash of each file and deletes the identical files.
