Summary: Firmware Analysis Tool

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
* Entropy analysis and graphing
* Heuristic data 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/archived files,
firmware headers, kernels, bootloaders, filesystems, etc.
