Description-en: tool library for analyzing binary blobs and executable code
Binwalk is a tool for searching a given binary image for embedded files
and executable code. Specifically, it is designed for identifying files
and code embedded inside of firmware images. Binwalk uses the libmagic
library, so it is compatible with magic signatures created for the Unix
file utility.
.
Binwalk also includes a custom magic signature file which contains
improved signatures for files that are commonly found in firmware images
such as compressed/archived files, firmware headers, Linux kernels,
bootloaders, filesystems, etc.
.
This package is an empty package, because the binary tool is already
provided with the library, dependency of this package.
