  Description     : FAT32 explore, extract, repair, and forensic tool

fatcat is a tool to explore, extract, repair and forensic FAT32 filesystems which i've named fatcat.

Its features:

• Get information about FAT32 filesystem;
  
• Explore FAT32 file system;
• Read file or extract directories;
• Retrieve file & directories that are deleted;
• Backup & restore the FAT tables;
• Hack the FAT table by writing on it;
• Hack the entries by changing clusters and file sizes;
• Perform a search for orphaned files & directories;
• Compare and merge the FAT tables;
• Repair unallocated directories &  files

I used it to repair & fix data coming from an actually broken hard drive
