[Binwalk v1.2.2] Firmware Analysis Tool
Binwalk is a firmware analysis tool designed to assist in the
analysis, extraction, and reverse engineering of firmware images and
other binary blobs. It is simple to use, fully scriptable, and can be
easily extended via custom signatures, extraction rules, and plugin
modules.
Binwalk supports various types of analysis useful for inspecting and reverse engineering firmware, including:
- Embedded file identification and extraction
- Executable code identification
- Type casting
- Entropy analysis and graphing
- Heuristic data analysis
- "Smart" strings analysis
Binwalk's
file signatures are (mostly) compatible with the magic signatures used
by the Unix file utility, and include customized/improved signatures for
files that are commonly found in firmware images such as
compressed/archived files, firmware headers, kernels, bootloaders,
filesystems, etc.
