# sasquatch-deb

Unofficial Ubuntu/Debian `.deb` package for **sasquatch**, a SquashFS firmware extraction tool commonly used with **binwalk** for router, IoT and embedded Linux firmware analysis.

This package is useful when the standard `unsquashfs` from `squashfs-tools` cannot extract vendor-modified SquashFS images found in firmware.
