I am currently engaged in a challenging project: reverse engineering the firmware of the ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 router. My aim is to delve into the nuances of its firmware, and to create a baseline image of the device for thorough research and reference. I am reaching out to this community for insights and guidance, hoping to tap into the collective knowledge and experience available here.
Your guidance and shared experiences will greatly contribute to not only my project but also to the broader community interested in router firmware reverse engineering. I thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
My Key Questions:
- Understanding .pkgtb Files:
- Can anyone shed light on the specifics of .pkgtb files within the context of the ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 firmware? What do these files typically contain – are they compressed archives, configuration files, or something else?
- Effective Extraction and Analysis:
- What tools or methods are recommended for extracting and analyzing the contents of .pkgtb files effectively?
- If you have any specific software recommendations or procedures that have proven successful in similar scenarios, I would greatly appreciate your advice.
- Creating a Baseline Image:
- I aim to obtain a clean and comprehensive baseline image of the router's firmware for detailed comparison and research purposes.
- Does anyone have experience or tips on how to effectively extract such an image, ensuring it’s a complete and accurate representation of the firmware?
- Additional Technical Insights:
- If anyone has delved into specific components such as NAND reading, ECC systems, CFEs, bootloaders, JTAG, or software source code & compiling in the context of the ROG Rapture GT-AX11000, your expertise would greatly enhance the depth of this project.
Your guidance and shared experiences will greatly contribute to not only my project but also to the broader community interested in router firmware reverse engineering. I thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
