Can't extract cpio archive from Securifi firmware. #119

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Securifi Almond is a wireless router popular on Amazon.com that sports a touch 
screen and claims a high level of security, begging to be reversed. FMK is 
unable to extract its filesystem.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. wget http://firmware.securifi.com/AL1/AL1-R196-L299-W33 # from 
http://www.securifi.com/software-update
2. ./extract-firmware.sh AL1-R196-L299-W33

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.99 on Ubuntu 12.04.

Please provide any additional information below.

The file system is a cpio archive that I can extract using binwalk with -e and 
-M (recursion). It is buried within other compressed archives, which I imagine 
is the problem here.

$ file AL1-R196-L299-W33

This is the output from binwalk -e -M is given here: http://paste2.org/h5KYb9D2

I assume this is unable to happen because fmk doesn't scan recursively?

Sounds right. If all you need is extraction, Binwalk will do. The FMK is 
designed to handle rebuilding. Firmwares that require recursive extraction are 
not capable of being rebuilt by the FMK, so it doesn't try. That would add a 
whole new level of complexity.

Thank you for getting back to me. For rebuilding, do you have any advice? I 
know this discussion is now beyond the scope of the ticket, so feel free to 
just close and move on.

You'd just have to do the rebuilding manually. You could create a script to 
automate it. The FMK probably has most/all of the tools you would need. That's 
general advice, I haven't looked at this firmware image, so don't know if there 
are any blockers to a successful rebuild.
