Binwalk is a fast, easy to use tool for analyzing, reverse engineering, and extracting firmware images.
Binwalk follows the standard Python installation procedure:
$ sudo python setup.py installIf you're running Python 2.x, installing the optional Python lzma module is strongly recommended (but not required):
$ sudo apt-get install python-lzmaFor instructions on installing other optional dependencies, see INSTALL.md.
Basic usage is simple:
$ binwalk firmware.bin
