So while salvaging my old computer's HDD, which has some LBA errors, I came across this old post

https://nwsmith.blogspot.com/2007/08/smartmontools-and-fixing-unreadable.html

which mentioned a script that was created by "Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering" of the "Swiss Federal Institute of Technology", Zurich named "smartfixdisk.pl"

and I searched for it, all over the internet but I couldn't find it which is surprising considering there exit Wayback Machine. So to all the tech hobbyist, CAN YOU FIND IT?
