Auto Secure LoginRecover the file — with evidence for every byte.
ASL Recovery Center is a self-contained native Windows data-recovery lab. It recovers deleted files from the Recycle Bin, raw NTFS, and unallocated space; carves files by signature; reconstructs AI-tool and developer artifacts (ChatGPT/Claude/Codex sessions, Git loose objects); creates byte-for-byte forensic images; and stages WinPE boot media. It opens every source read-only, writes output only to a different physical disk, and produces a hashed evidence manifest for every operation. No third-party engine — it's ASL's own.
The problem
Most recovery tools risk the very data they're recovering.
The moment a recovery tool writes to the disk you're trying to save, it can overwrite the deleted data it's hunting for. And when the recovered file matters — evidence, a contract, months of lost work — "trust me, this is the original" isn't good enough without a hash to prove it.
Recovery Center is read-only by default, writes output only to a different physical disk, and hashes everything so the chain of custody is intact.
Safety, structural
- Sources opened read-only; refuses live-owned clusters
- Output goes only to a different physical disk
- Fails closed on cloud / network / RAM targets
- Only 2 narrow, identity-pinned mutations exist
- Hashed evidence JSON for every operation
Capabilities
A full lab in two self-contained executables.
Recycle Bin recovery
Reconstructs from $I + $R pairs, collision-safe, back to real filenames.
Native NTFS undelete
Read-only MFT parse that refuses to touch clusters now owned by live files.
Raw signature carver
JPEG, PNG, PDF, ZIP, Office, GIF, WAVE, WebP, AVI, BMP, MP4, PE — carved across unallocated space and images.
AI & dev artifacts
Recovers ChatGPT/Claude/Codex sessions and Git loose blobs, re-verified against their canonical SHA-1 without ever running Git.
Forensic imaging
Resumable byte-for-byte .aslimg written to a second disk, comparing partial bytes, isolating bad sectors, with a second SHA-256 pass.
WinPE boot media
Stages a genuine Microsoft WinPE RAM-disk via WIMGAPI/BCD, with a native boot console for offline recovery.
Read-only partition tools
GPT/MBR inspection with CRC validation — look without touching.
Least-privilege elevation
The GUI always runs normal-privilege; elevated work goes through a short-lived SHA-256-bound request to a single allowlisted worker doing exactly one operation.
Built-in self-test
A --self-test mode and machine-readable verification JSONs prove the tool behaves before you trust it with real data.
Get the data back — safely, and provably.
Read-only by default, output to a separate disk, and a SHA-256 manifest for every recovered byte — a recovery lab you can defend.
