hello
im trying to mod a modem firmware and see that this project has not been
updated in a long while ...
please add the latest binwalk code to this project cus when i run the new
binwalk it finds my uboot partition and with the 1.0 version included in the
latest release of firmware modkit it does not find Uboot
this is what binwalk 1.3 beta finds extra
983 0x3D7 U-Boot boot loader reference
thx in advance ...

Well, it didn't really find the uboot partition. What it found was an ASCII
string that contained the text "uboot". This likely indicates that there is a
uboot bootloader, but it's probably just executable code and does not contain
the standard u-boot file header; thus there really isn't much FMK can do with
it anyway.
Although newer versions of binwalk might find more stuff, it's stuff that FMK
doesn't (yet) support. So until support is built into FMK for new file formats
and firmwares, it's not worth updating the bundled binwalk.
