not trying to discard the work done here.... but from what I see the script "simply" uses dd to output the sdcard contents into a file, which is then used by foremost. I may be missing the point here, but why not simply tell users to directly type the two commands?

It's true it's simple right now but I think a wrapper around it can be helpful, especially for those who may be new to data recovery. I am hoping to add in the ability to format the disk properly so as to do a non-obvious 'wipe' of the contents as well as some functionality around controlling the camera once I'm able to dump the firmware. I'm new to hardware stuff so this is kind of learn as I go and documenting the results
I think that this kind of work has to be accessible and usable by everyone (who might have such a device). So while it might seem simple to someone on HN, that may not be the case for other people who potentially want to do this.
