The offset is useful if you want to extract the contents of the file with a tool like `dd`. Binwalk can also automatically extract all the files it finds within the firmware image, this is possible with the `-e` switch. Binwalk can also search for string in the binary files with the `-S` option. The `-M matryoshka` option instructs binwalk to recursively scan extracted files, the matroshka is a reference to Russian dolls that have other dolls inside them. ![alt text](http://imgur.com/ZXrjxuU.jpg "Matryoshka doll") ### Conclusion -binwalk is a important tool for a forensic analyst.
