Hello, well my problem is that im trying to extract the netgear r6100 v1.0.1.28 firmware, when I run this command: sudo binwalk -e R6100-V1.0.1.28.img --run-as=root To extract everything I got a lot of symlink error that says they point outside the extraction folder here is the prompt: sheep@sheep:~/Downloads/r6100$ sudo binwalk -e R6100-V1.0.1.28.img --run-as=root
sheep@sheep:~/Downloads/r6100$ sudo binwalk -e R6100-V1.0.1.28.img --run-as=root

As you can see a lot of files point "outside" the extraction folder, which I guess it is some sort of an error and that they are actually trying to point inside but binwalk recognizes it as it is not and launches some security measures, Im trying to learn about all this and can´t find anyone with this same error.
