Description Anatoly Pugachev 2014-06-20 12:10:43 UTC

Unable to parse any file with current version of binwalk installed:

$ rpm -q binwalk
binwalk-1.2-2.fc20.noarch

for example:

$ binwalk /usr/lib64/pygtk/2.0/demos/images/background.jpg 
/tmp/tmpyKohKD, 734: Warning: New continuation level 2 is more than one larger than current level 0
Unexpected error: cannot import name BlockFile

or 

$ binwalk hvm59520003.img 
/tmp/tmp3fZhQ2, 734: Warning: New continuation level 2 is more than one larger than current level 0
Unexpected error: cannot import name BlockFile

So, it is probably is missing BlockFile python module (packaged separately or included with binwalk).

Thanks.

$ rpm -q binwalk
binwalk-1.2-2.fc20.noarch

I tried using rawhide version but I got similar errors:

$ sudo yum --enablerepo=rawhide update binwalk

$ rpm -q binwalk

Comment 2 javiertury 2014-07-14 22:18:46 UTC

So I found a partial fix, it just fixes this error:
"Warning: New continuation level 2 is more than one larger than current level 0"

Just update the signatures,
$ sudo binwalk -u

Comment 3 javiertury 2014-07-15 12:11:45 UTC

It seems that the issue is with recent versions of libmagic. On July 12th it was patched upstream:
https://github.com/devttys0/binwalk/commit/fdbcf4198b040c57d6930a516dcc1b02046a7b93

The lastest version, 1.3 beta, was released in January so it doesn't have the fix. The developer seems to be working on binwalk 2.0 since December 2013 but there isn't a release date yet.
