binwalk

Firmware analysis tool for searching binaries for embedded files and executable code.

Binwalk v3

This is an updated version of the Binwalk firmware analysis tool, re-written in Rust for speed and accuracy.

binwalk v3

What does it do?

Binwalk can identify, and optionally extract, files and data that have been embedded inside of other files.

While its primary focus is firmware analysis, it supports a wide variety of file and data types.

Through entropy analysis, it can even help to identify unknown compression or encryption!

Binwalk can be customized and integrated into your own Rust projects.

How do I get it?

The easiest way to install Binwalk and all dependencies is to build a Docker image.

Binwalk can also be installed via the Rust package manager.

Or, you can compile from source!

How do I use it?

Usage is simple, analysis is fast, and results are detailed:

binwalk DIR-890L_AxFW110b07.bin

example output
