Not much joy when attempting to analyse an OpenWrt firmware image...

Error: 500 Internal Server Error

Your request is missing a field: resumableChunkNumber

Getting lots of HTTP 415 (Unsupported Media Type) errors... is the code available somewhere that one could self host this? it looks really cool

The site is just a poor front-end to binwalk, without any attribution back to binwalk project or binwalk authors. Not cool :(

  $ binwalk -Me firmware.bin

This is not true. The site is based on their USENIX Security 2014 paper, "A Large-Scale Analysis of the Security of Embedded Firmwares".

In the paper and presentation they state that they extended BAT; they're not exactly trying to hide it!

That's very cool idea! But is it still working? It's processing my request for more than hour.

I selected 8.2MB worth of files. The site requested almost 100MB of data. Why?
