binwalk

Firmware Analysis Tool.

• Scan a binary file:

binwalk {path/to/binary}

• Extract files from a binary, specifying the output directory:

binwalk --extract --directory {output_directory} {path/to/binary}

• Recursively extract files from a binary limiting the recursion depth to 2:

binwalk --extract --matryoshka --depth {2} {path/to/binary}

• Extract files from a binary with the specified file signature:

binwalk --dd '{png image:png}' {path/to/binary}

• Analyze the entropy of a binary, saving the plot with the same name as the binary and `.png` extension appended:

binwalk --entropy --save {path/to/binary}

• Combine entropy, signature and opcodes analysis in a single command:

binwalk --entropy --signature --opcodes {path/to/binary}
