This is amazing! I’ve used binwalk extract for ‘capture the flag’ challenges but I never really thought about the practical applications of it. Wow! Thank you

Funny, I always assumed that there would be no application for binwalk other than for extracting binary firmware images of embedded devices.

Using binwalk for CTF challenges is actually a new insight for me :)

Conversely, it's a convenient tool for obfuscation. You can trigger plausible false positives all over, while also making sure that there's nothing of immediate use with binwalk left.
