LAOSAT set-top box firmware extraction backup and firmware structure research

However, only the theme and other parts cannot be extracted

TL;DR / [Geek Summary]:

  • Firmware Deconstruction: Extracted firmware from a LAOSAT satellite STB, revealing a Linux kernel base and 7ZIP compatibility.
  • Asset Discovery: Successfully isolated UI theme assets, providing raw material for deeper dives into the system logic.
  • Geek Spirit: In the absence of documentation, using binary analysis and filesystem identification to map a closed hardware ecosystem.

Firmware download is in the link below

I have nothing to do, so I extracted a firmware, but I couldn’t extract it. It seems that there is only the theme in other places.

For those who want to study it, I found that this is a compressed file that can be opened with 7ZIP. . . But the kernel is Linux
