What am I supposed to do with the output? #6

unalice.py successfully unpacked an ALICE_2 firmware blob for me, but what is the resulting file supposed to be? You say ALICE is the non-kernel part of the firmware, but I couldn't find anything in it like photos or whatnot.

The binary you get from unalice.py can be loaded into a disassembler (IDA or radare2). You can also run "strings" (Linux command) on it to get an idea of what it does by examining the output.

I've searched it for strings and nothing has come up from it.
