I need your swarm intelligence: What do you guys use to find patterns / images in firmware blobs? I've been using ImageJ for a long time, but I found it quite painful to use when you know barely anything about the format.
edit: found it it was binxelview - mentioned in hacking washing machines talk :D

@tyalie Well binwalk like reverser next door? `-e` provides auto-extract if needed

@tyalie@chaos.social for patterns I usually just grep the raw bytes, or run strings over the binary data tbh I think maybe binwalk can extract media images, as well as firmware, might be worth trying that?

@tyalie binwalk is the first step, also usefull to check entropy.
