Partial The UI, hashing, and reporting are standard to build, but a forensically credible recovery tool requires correct file-system and carving logic and court-defensible reporting. Those need specialist forensic knowledge that vibe coding does not reliably supply.
What it would actually take: Write a Windows raw-disk reader that parses NTFS and FAT structures and runs signature-based carving for JPEG, PNG, HEIC, MP4, and similar formats. Add SHA-256 hashing, offset tracking, timestamp provenance, and coverage reporting, then sign the release. The hard parts are correct handling of fragmented and damaged data, validation against known test corpora, and forensic-practice review by experts.
