Installation

The Binwalk IDA plugin can be installed using setup.py by specifying the path to your IDA installation directory:

$ python setup.py idainstall --idadir=/home/user/ida

Usage

Once installed, there will be two new menu options in IDA's Search drop-down menu list:

  1. binwalk signatures - Scans the loaded IDB for file signatures
  2. binwalk opcodes - Scans the loaded IDB for common opcode signatures

Running mipslocalvars.py

Results are printed to IDA's output window:

Running mipslocalvars.py

sudo python setup.py install
