OFRAK

OFRAK (Open Firmware Reverse Analysis Konsole) is a binary analysis and modification platform that combines the ability unpack, analyze, modify, and repack binaries.

OFRAK combines the ability to:

• Identify and Unpack many binary formats
• Analyze unpacked binaries with field-tested reverse engineering tools
• Modify and Repack binaries with powerful patching strategies

OFRAK supports a range of embedded firmware file formats beyond userspace executables, including:

• Compressed filesystems
• Compressed & checksummed firmware
• Bootloaders
• RTOS/OS kernels

OFRAK equips users with:

• A Graphical User Interface (GUI) for interactive exploration and visualization of binaries
• A Python API for readable and reproducible scripts that can be applied to entire classes of binaries, rather than just one specific binary
• Recursive identification, unpacking, and repacking of many file formats, from ELF executables, to filesystem archives, to compressed and checksummed firmware formats
• Built-in, extensible integration with powerful analysis backends (angr, Binary Ninja, Ghidra, IDA Pro)
• Extensibility by design via a common interface to easily write additional OFRAK components and add support for a new file format or binary patching operation

This is the package containing the core of the OFRAK framework. Install this first to get started with OFRAK!

What is included:

• Definitions for core OFRAK data structures and services, such as Resource, OFRAKContext, and DataService.
• Components to handle unpacking, modifying, and repacking common executable file formats:
  • ELF
  • PE Files
• Definitions for common software and reverse engineering abstractions like Instruction, File, and BasicBlock
• Miscellaneous helpful components:
  • MagicAnalyzer and two Identifier components which uses python-libmagic to automatically tag OFRAK Resources
  • Basic modifiers like StringFindReplaceModifier and BinaryInjectorModifier
  • Basic useful analyzers like Sha256Analyzer and MD5Analyzer which calculate the respective checksums of OFRAK Resources

This is only a representative sampling of the features in the core OFRAK. Consult the code reference docs for a complete manifest.

What is not included:

• The OFRAK PatchMaker
• Components (e.g. unpackers) for other filesystems and file formats like tar, ZIP, SquashFS, RAR, UImage, and more. These are in the ofrak_components package and have heavier dependencies
• Components which integrate the disassembler backends (Ghidra, BinaryNinja, Angr, Capstone)
