Firmware Mod Kit
A collection of scripts and utilities to extract, modify, and rebuild Linux-based firmware images for embedded devices.
What is Firmware Mod Kit?
Firmware Mod Kit is a collection of scripts and utilities that allow embedded systems software engineers to extract, modify, and rebuild Linux-based firmware images for devices like routers. It solves the problem of customizing firmware by providing tools to deconstruct common firmware formats, alter file systems or web interfaces, and repackage them for flashing, though this process risks bricking the device.
Embedded systems software engineers, firmware developers, and advanced hobbyists who need to analyze or modify firmware for Linux-based embedded devices, particularly routers, and are prepared to accept the risk of device failure.
Developers choose this kit because it offers a comprehensive, scriptable toolkit specifically for firmware manipulation, supporting a wide range of common formats and including unique features like DD-WRT web GUI editing, which isn't available in generic binary analysis tools.
