# binhop
binhop is a **file carving visualizer**, powered by binwalk.
It makes clear what parts of a blob can be extracted, so you can
take action on the parts that didn't.<br />
binhop relies entirely on a functioning installation of binwalk.

## Usage
To use the script, run the following command:
```
binhop <path-to-binary-file>
```
Alternatively, you can run binhop on data from STDIN like so:
```
binhop < <path-to-binary-file-or-stream>
```
## Installation
To use this script, you need Python 3 and a functioning and "recent" version of `binwalk` installed on your system. You'll probably also want to install optional `binwalk` dependencies such as `sasquatch`, `jefferson`, and others. You can learn how to do that in the [binwalk documentation](https://github.com/ReFirmLabs/binwalk/blob/master/INSTALL.md).
When that's done, install the Python dependencies for `binhop`, running something like:
```
git clone https://github.com/darrylnixon/binhop.git
cd binhop
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install .
```
