Binwalk is a fast, easy to use tool for analyzing, reverse engineering, and extracting firmware images.

Binwalk follows the standard Unix configure/make installation procedure:

$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

For convenience, optional dependencies for automatic extraction and graphical visualizations can be installed by running the included deps.sh script:

$ ./deps.sh

If your system is not supported by deps.sh, or if you wish to manually install dependencies, see INSTALL.md.

For advanced installation options, see INSTALL.md.

Basic usage is simple:

$ binwalk firmware.bin

For additional examples and descriptions of advanced options, see the wiki.
