From c7aae7f66b1779dcb850978267f23b9311752bd8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matt Brown Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 19:45:03 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] feat: identify and extract SPIFFS filesystems SPIFFS is the classic SPI-NOR filesystem on ESP8266 / ESP32-classic and other small MCUs, and neither binwalk nor unblob extract it. Add identification and byte-exact extraction. SPIFFS has no superblock magic and its page/block geometry is build-time config that is not stored in the image, so both are handled specially: - Identify: anchor on a committed object-index header (at a page boundary it is span_ix 0, flags 0xF8, then 3 align zero-bytes -> the 6-byte pattern 00 00 F8 00 00 00, once per file). The validator infers the geometry over the image and confirms a coherent object graph, so false anchors are rejected. - Geometry inference: try candidate (page, block) sizes and score by how many files reassemble completely, then bytes, then file count. The correct geometry recovers full files; a wrong one finds index headers at aligned offsets but truncates the data, so completeness disambiguates. - Extract: reassemble each object from its FINAL index header (name + size) and its data pages ordered by span index, into the SafeRoot. Scoped to a standalone SPIFFS image (a dumped partition, or one moria extracted and re-scanned); a 64 MiB guard bounds inference cost against a stray anchor. The page/object layout is a clean reimplementation of the SPIFFS on-disk format (MIT), verified byte-exact against real mkspiffs images (noted in README). - New: signatures/spiffs.toml, src/spiffs_parse.{hpp,cpp} (shared core), src/validators/spiffs.{hpp,cpp}, src/extract/spiffs.{hpp,cpp}. Wired into the validator registry, extractor registry, MIME map and build. - Tests: a minimal-image fixture in gen_samples, and tests/test_spiffs.py (synthetic identify/extract, a false-positive guard on a bare anchor, and a real mkspiffs round-trip that extracts every file byte-exact for two geometries, self-skipping when the tool is absent). Wired into run.sh and CTest. --- CMakeLists.txt | 4 + README.md | 3 +- signatures/spiffs.toml | 22 +++++ src/extract/manifest.cpp | 2 + src/extract/spiffs.cpp | 33 +++++++ src/extract/spiffs.hpp | 7 ++ src/mime.hpp | 1 + src/spiffs_parse.cpp | 189 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/spiffs_parse.hpp | 44 +++++++++ src/validators/registry.cpp | 2 + src/validators/spiffs.cpp | 35 +++++++ src/validators/spiffs.hpp | 8 ++ tests/gen_samples.py | 23 +++++ tests/run.sh | 2 + tests/test_spiffs.py | 133 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ 15 files changed, 507 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 signatures/spiffs.toml create mode 100644 src/extract/spiffs.cpp create mode 100644 src/extract/spiffs.hpp create mode 100644 src/spiffs_parse.cpp create mode 100644 src/spiffs_parse.hpp create mode 100644 src/validators/spiffs.cpp create mode 100644 src/validators/spiffs.hpp create mode 100644 tests/test_spiffs.py diff --git a/CMakeLists.txt b/CMakeLists.txt index b675f65..4ba6bdf 100644 --- a/CMakeLists.txt +++ b/CMakeLists.txt @@ -127,6 +127,9 @@ add_executable(moria src/validators/legacy_fs.cpp src/validators/littlefs.cpp src/littlefs_parse.cpp + src/validators/spiffs.cpp + src/spiffs_parse.cpp + src/extract/spiffs.cpp src/extract/littlefs.cpp src/validators/luks.cpp ) @@ -222,6 +225,7 @@ if(Python3_Interpreter_FOUND) test_human_tree test_partition test_littlefs + test_spiffs test_partition_overlap test_entropy test_esp32_part diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index f223de9..44645b8 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -72,4 +72,5 @@ Some on-disk format handling is a clean reimplementation of the algorithms in other open-source projects, written independently against moria's own I/O layer (no source copied): the UCL/NRV2B decompressor and CTO unfilters from UPX/UCL (GPL-2.0, algorithms only), and the metadata-commit and CTZ skip-list layout of -[littlefs](https://github.com/littlefs-project/littlefs) (BSD-3-Clause). +[littlefs](https://github.com/littlefs-project/littlefs) (BSD-3-Clause), and the +page/object layout of [SPIFFS](https://github.com/pellepl/spiffs) (MIT). diff --git a/signatures/spiffs.toml b/signatures/spiffs.toml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..dc3943d --- /dev/null +++ b/signatures/spiffs.toml @@ -0,0 +1,22 @@ +name = "spiffs" +category = "filesystem" + +# SPIFFS (ESP8266/ESP32-classic SPI-NOR filesystem) has no superblock magic.
