binwalk3

Binwalk is a tool for identifying, and optionally extracting, 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

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