Does the same as this page, just that it is an uncomprehensible mess of broken links. But they have soe good ideas!
Their main techniques seem to be:
``
mkdir binout
for file in blk*dat; do echo "$file"; binwalk --dd='.*' "$file" -C binout/. --log=binout/"$file""res.txt"; done
``
and:
``
mkdir subfileout
for file in blk*dat; do mkdir subfileout/"$file"; done
for file in blk*dat; do echo "$file"; hachoir-subfile --category=image,video,audio,container,archive,misc "$file" subfileout/"$file" > subfileout/"$file""subfile.txt"; done
``
which seem promising.
These are installable on Ubuntu 23.10 with:
``
sudo apt install binwalk hachoir
``
