nikond750: decrypting and mapping Nikon D750 firmware
Nikond750 investigates the Nikon D750 firmware image D750_0115.bin using decryption scripts, CRC checks, module extraction and Ghidra notes. The author reports recovering a three-table XOR scheme, identifying the ARM application and WLAN modules, and tracing a Wi-Fi throughput limit to the BCM43362 hardware; project instructions also include REA tooling.
