# The sysutils/binwalk port

## binwalk-1.2.2.1p2 – tool for reverse-engineering and analysing firmware blobs

## Description

    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.
