AbuseImgStorage

A quick video-tutorial

To fragment a file into "images" ;)

user@computer ~/AbuseImgStorage/FileComposer> python3 Fragmentor.py chunk PATH_TO_FILE

It will create 2-5MB chunks, that will display a small image (to avoid overloading too much). Also, and this is important, it will generate a .db file. KEEP IT. This file is needed to reconstruct the original from the chunks.

• Maybe you want a different max or min size for the chunks.

  • You can alter the min size limit with the modifier -m or --min-size followed by the size in MB.

  user@computer ~/AbuseImgStorage/FileComposer> python3 Fragmentor.py chunk PATH_TO_FILE -m SIZE_IN_MB

  • You can alter the max size limit with the modifier -M or --max-size followed by the size in MB.

  user@computer ~/AbuseImgStorage/FileComposer> python3 Fragmentor.py chunk PATH_TO_FILE -M SIZE_IN_MB

To reconstruct the original file from the pieces:

Make sure the .db file is in the same folder as the pieces. Also, on this very first version, the names of the pieces should be the same as the ones created during the fragmentation process.

user@computer ~/AbuseImgStorage/FileComposer> python3 Fragmentor.py reconstruct PATH_TO_DB

It will recreate the original file the chunks were made from.

To check the integrity of the reconstructed files:

If you have both files, the original and the reconstructed one, and want to check if they're really the same, you can do it:

user@computer ~/AbuseImgStorage/FileComposer> python3 Fragmentor.py check PATH_TO_ORIGINAL PATH_TO_RECONSTRUCTED

Use it at your own discretion.
