binwalk invoked oom-killer #503

Closed ricardodeazambuja closed 3 years ago

ricardodeazambuja commented 3 years ago

I'm trying to recover data from a sd card image that got corrupted (~15GB) using binwalk -e image.img, but it eats all the memory (32GB!) and the OS finally kills it (oom-killer). I tested limiting the memory systemd-run --scope -p MemoryMax=5G binwalk -e image.img and it is killed when it reaches the maximum (5G in this case). When I simply print signatures on the screen, it doesn't crash (CPU usage hits 100% while memory stays below 1%).

Have you tried e.g. Testdisk or Photorec instead?

Thanks!!! Testdisk solved all my problems.
