Binwalk is a fast, easy to use tool for analyzing, reverse engineering, and extracting firmware images.
This is a fork of the original code from ReFirmLabs. This fork is maintained by the community and there is no relation between the maintainers of this fork and the original authors or the original company (though we greatly appreciate their work).

Prior to Binwalk v2.3.3, extracted archives could create symlinks which point anywhere on the file system, potentially resulting in a directory traversal attack if subsequent extraction utilties blindly follow these symlinks. More generically, Binwalk makes use of many third-party extraction utilties which may have unpatched security issues; Binwalk v2.3.3 and later allows external extraction tools to be run as an unprivileged user using the run-as command line option (this requires Binwalk itself to be run with root privileges). Additionally, Binwalk v2.3.3 and later will refuse to perform extraction as root unless --run-as=root is specified.
