On Hacking MicroSD cards (2013)

this is interesting from a data recovery viewpoint. recently, i had a card die with some photos i wanted to recover. I wrote my own recovery, but it was unable to get all the photos.

Turned out data i knew should be there was not on the card, insofar as the processor was telling me. It's likely that, if a lower level access could be achieved, i might have been able to recover the lost data.
