Channel16 is graphical tool that allows users to browse the content of deleted files in an ext2 filesystem interactively, and to recover them into new files. The application also provides a search and rescue operation. This allows the user to input some exact text from the deleted file, which the program uses to search through all deleted inodes. Channel16 uses the low-level methods provided by e2fsprogs. The front end is implemented with Java Swing, and Java Native Interface (JNI) is used to bridge between Java and the ext2fs operations.

If you want to build the program from source, you need to install the following packages:

- Java SDK
- e2fsprog-devel-1.19-4
- gcc compiler

tar xvzf channel16-0.1a.tar.gz
cd channel16-0.1a/exom/channel16
make install

The following packages are needed to run Channel 16:

Java runtime environment
e2fsprog-1.19-4

I currently only test the application on Linux (RedHat 7.1)


Requirements:
Java runtime envirnoment
e2fsprogs-1.19-4
java-getopt
