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
|
|
files, firmware headers, kernels, bootloaders, filesystems, etc.
