✨ RIFIUTI ✨ (section 1 of the manual, bestie)

okay so we're doing the RIFIUTI(1) page and honestly? she's a little forensic queen and she serves. this is the manual for rifiuti, a tool that pulls information out of MS recycle bin INFO2 files. yes, that recycle bin. the one everyone thinks is just vibes and empty folders. it is not. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

rifiuti — the tool that extracts information from MS recycle bins info2 files. that's the whole assignment. no notes. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

rifiuti [-t] FILE

that's it. that's the summoning ritual. short, sweet, iconic. ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so like. rifiuti is a tool that extracts genuinely valuable information — and when we say valuable we mean from a forensics investigator point of view, okay, this is not a cute little hobby project — out of MS recycle bins info2 files. 🕵️‍♀️

and what does it actually hand you? bestie, it will extract:

  • the deleted time of the deleted files found in the recycle bin
  • the original drive number
  • the original path
  • and the size

all of the deleted files found in the recycle bin. like it literally just lays out the receipts. the deleted files' whole little life story, in a list. no cap. 😭🔥

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -t FD — changes the default field delimiter (which is TAB, obviously) to FD. you want a different separator? say less. 💅
  • <file> — the INFO2 file you want to parse. hand it over, bestie. 🫶

🌈 AUTHOR 🌈

this manual page was written by Christophe Monniez <christophe.monniez@fccu.be> for the Debian project (but may be used by others). shoutout to them fr fr, they did that. 👑

okay so the little numbers at the bottom of the original page said 20040505 and the date was 2008-03-14, and that's the vibe check timestamp of this whole thing. anyway ily, go parse some INFO2 files responsibly, mwah 💋✨🦋
