GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
hello 

im trying to mod a modem firmware and see that this project has not been 
updated in a long while ...

please add the latest binwalk code to this project cus when i run the new 
binwalk it finds my uboot partition and with the 1.0 version included in the 
latest release of firmware modkit it does not find Uboot 

this is what binwalk 1.3 beta finds extra 

983         0x3D7       U-Boot boot loader reference

thx in advance ...

Well, it didn't really find the uboot partition. What it found was an ASCII 
string that contained the text "uboot". This likely indicates that there is a 
uboot bootloader, but it's probably just executable code and does not contain 
the standard u-boot file header; thus there really isn't much FMK can do with 
it anyway.

Although newer versions of binwalk might find more stuff, it's stuff that FMK 
doesn't (yet) support. So until support is built into FMK for new file formats 
and firmwares, it's not worth updating the bundled binwalk.
