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.
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.

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 .
