EMBA v1.2.3 - R.I.P. Binwalk

Binwalk, it was a long and great time with you. Now, you are a bit old and rusty and we had some issues in the past. Looks like we need to change our relationship a little bit ...

The binwalk extractor is already unmaintained for a quite long time period. In this time, we jumped in with multiple extractor modules within EMBA to keep the great extraction up. In the last year we have looked quite interested at the development process of Unblob.
We already integrated Unblob as an evaluation module a while ago. Currently it is integrated as the second extraction framework beside binwalk to jump in if our main binwalk/EMBA approach failed.

Now, it is time to change the game and to make Unblob to our main extractor and use binwalk only in the rare case Unblob failed.

Another very cool highlight is the acceptance of EMBA in the embedded research environment. Nate released a great article around analysing IoT devices here

Beside your ongoing support with feedback, testing, working on issues and spreading EMBA you can now also become a sponsor.
