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

Error: 500 Internal Server Error

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".

Paper: https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/usenixsecurit...

Presentation: http://s3.eurecom.fr/slides/usenixsec14_costin.slides.pdf

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