file. MAP file mostly contains manually-named symbols, so the largest one will be for firmware version on which more reversing work was done.

In the examples, both firmware images available in the IoTGoat project and images extracted from other IoT devices are used to illustrate some of the possible scenarios. The analysis can be divided into initial recognition phases, the identification of existing file systems in the firmware and their extraction or assembly. We have made a WinZIP file that contains the latest version of all the firmware binary files. Download the WinZIP file and extract its contents to the Public Documents folder on the PC that has NetEdit

Future FW .zip file should have the embedded actual files and not the packed .rar. All actual FW files with in the .zip files will be .BIN, .CHK or .IMG. The file command will look at the header of the file and search for a signature (magic number) to identify the type of the file. For example, if the file starts with the sequence of bytes 0x89 0x50 0x4E 0x47 0x0D 0x0A 0x1A 0x0A, it knows it’s a PNG file. Check this Wikipedia page for a list of common file signatures. If you can’t view the FIRMWARE file by double-clicking it, try opening it in a different program.

Binary data is not human-readable and typically cannot be edited. I couldn’t find any helpful information about how to install drivers with a .bin file. But my best guess is that you have a firmware of a China TV/box board. In that case, download the “MStar Android TV firmware tools” and unpack the BIN file using it. If that’s the case, you can easily open it with image tools such as PowerISO. Once you open the BIN file with an image tool, you can view its content and edit it to your liking.
