Appreciating the simple honest 'sold out to the man' announcement.

Personally I have 0% use for this tool, but just the texts make me want to find a way to get this service in our tool chain.

- we have finally sold out to the man and released a cloud-based firmware extraction engine called Binwalk Pro. After all someone needs to pay devttys0 so he can buy more milling equipment and feed his children (in that order).

- CLOUD-BASED FIRMWARE EXTRACTION - STOP DOWNLOADING FROM GITHUB

- With the cloud-based version you: Stop wasting time compiling source code

I am going to find someone at work who can use this and make the company sign up.

I have a paid account & used it to reverse engineer firmwares successfully with it.

It also seems they are adding (much needed) features at a high pace now (compare between images). Much appreciated! Can recommend.

Interesting, I knew about binwalk as it's fun to poke at IOT firmware updates and find vulns, but never knew about binwalk pro

Binwalk Pro @ $10/month when I used it was very reasonable price wise. Their new product is much more expensive though ($1000/scan for hobbyists)

Where do you see $1000? It still says $10/month for me.

That person's got their priorities straight.

Love this this tool, but that price is expensive for hobbyist unless they selling their work or paid for through a company

Used this tool few years ago on a ZTE router. Worked like a charm without any problems

a classic
