OFRAK is a binary analysis and modification platform that identifies, unpacks, analyzes, modifies, and repacks binaries, with first-class support for embedded firmware formats like compressed filesystems, bootloaders, and RTOS kernels. It offers both a web-based GUI for interactive exploration and a Python API for reproducible scripts, with extensible integration with analysis backends such as angr, Ghidra, Binary Ninja, and IDA Pro.
Use cases
- unpack and repack embedded firmware images
- modify an ELF buried inside a compressed filesystem archive
- patch binaries reproducibly with a Python API
- analyze firmware with Ghidra or Binary Ninja backends
- explore binary structure interactively in a GUI
- add support for a new firmware file format
- solve CTF binary unpacking challenges
When to choose
- you need to unpack, modify, and repack nested binary formats like compressed firmware or filesystems
- you want scriptable, reproducible binary patching across classes of binaries
- you work with embedded firmware, bootloaders, or RTOS kernels
- you want a common interface over multiple disassembly backends
When to avoid
- you need a permissively licensed tool for commercial use without a Pro License
- you only need simple static disassembly of a single executable
- you need a pure GUI reverse engineering tool without scripting
