binwalk for Windows

Install and use binwalk in Windows

This is a redirect program to pass the arguments along with the command to execute the binwalk. eg: If user input "binwalk file.bin" as command via cmd this program will make it execute as "python binwalk file.bin" Thus making it possible to execute easily.

winbinwalk's Issues

Binwalk supports Python 3.6+.

···Processing dependencies for binwalk==2.2.1
Finished processing dependencies for binwalk==2.2.1···

Arguments Segregation

Hi,

You've provided the great solution but somehow script binwalk.py does not segregate arguments provided.
For instance,
binwalk -e file.bin
will execute like
binwalk -efile.bin
Which is not a valid one.

Syntax Error

Ended up having the same problem as #3 did till I finally realized my problem... (Took me a good 15 minutes..)
Sooooo

AS A REMINDER

Dont just right click 'binwalk.py' and 'save link as'
It will add hundreds of lines in that python file instead of the 6 lines in the real file.

If you see this, check your downloaded 'binwalk.py' file

Followed the steps without issue, I'm now trying to use the binwalk command to analyze a file but getting:
