And ofcourse, in a scenario like this, nuking and replacing the router with a PFSENSE. ![]() Testdisk also helped by alerting me to detected hidden partition (HPA), and sector mismatches on all my drives. Changing my HDD's UUID's, resizing/moving partitions/sectors left/right to re-allign them and overwrite what was hidden/stored. I had an issue with a malicious actor which gained access to my network, and this tool really helped - i suspect on every new install the old 'settings' were restored somehow.Īlong with this tool, i used GPARTED to remove any HPA hidden partition in all hard drives using the terminal and some special commands.
