Did your screen just turn black or your laptop freeze without warning? Maybe your hard drive has started chirping and you can't save to your home partition. There's no reason to throw away your computer. These five Linux tools can help you recover your data and get your digital life back on track.

Krótki, ale mam nadzieję, że przydatny artykuł, który pomoże odzyskać stracone dane z dysków, uszkodzone tablice partycji i inne problemy. Do ratowania plików będziemy używać prostych, ale potężnych programów, które powinny być dostępne we każdej dystrybucji Linuksa. Poznamy również takie aplikacje jak TestDisk & PhotoRec, które również pomagają w odzyskiwaniu danych.

Kon-Boot is an prototype piece of software which allows to change contents of a linux kernel (and now Windows kernel also!!!) on the fly (while booting). In the current compilation state it allows to log into a linux system as 'root' user without typing the correct password or to elevate privileges from current user to root. For Windows systems it allows to enter any password protected profile without any knowledge of the password. It was acctually started as silly project of mine, which was born from my never-ending memory problems :) Secondly it was mainly created for Ubuntu, later i have made few add-ons to cover some other linux distributions. Finally, please consider this is my first linux project so far :) Entire Kon-Boot was written in pure x86 assembly, using old grandpa-geezer TASM 4.0.
