In the latest version, binwalk seems to need an additional parameter --run-as=root in order to unpack files.

Extractor Exception: Binwalk extraction uses many third party utilities, which may not be secure. If you wish to have extraction utilities executed as the current user, use '--run-as=root' (binwalk itself must be run as root).

Might be worth pinning binwalk to 2.3.2 for a bit until they get this newest patch sorted out.

• for the moment, it seems the internal tests are broken ReFirmLabs/binwalk/issues/566 ReFirmLabs/binwalk/issues/569
