This paper explores the technical challenges and methodology involved in reconstructing fragmented 7z archives, specifically focusing on the .002 extension. It examines how automated forensic tools handle incomplete data sets and the metadata signatures left behind during the creation of multi-part volumes. 1. Introduction Overview of the 7-Zip (LZMA) compression algorithm.
