binwalk upstream unmaintained (consider gentoo fork?) #482

Open alchzh opened 4 months ago

alchzh commented 4 months ago

The upstream repository of binwalk is more or less unmaintained since being bought by Microsoft. There was one critical security patch merged last year but that's it. See https://github.com/ReFirmLabs/binwalk/issues/671

gentoo maintainers created a fork that is receiving updates still at https://github.com/OSPG/binwalk , should we consider switching to using that one?

I've created a fork under the @rbs-forks repository with only maintenance commits for the deprecated imp module and packing changes to keep it working on Windows https://github.com/rbs-forks/binwalk
