We are happy to announce support for the EROFS (Enhanced Read-Only File System) format. The new EROFS Format package lets you browse and extract files from EROFS images directly within the application.
EROFS is a high-performance, read-only compressed file system for Linux, merged into the mainline kernel in version 4.19. It was originally developed by Huawei and is now the standard file system for Android system partitions starting from Android 10. EROFS is also used in container images (Docker, Nydus) and embedded systems. Unlike older read-only file systems such as SquashFS and CRAMFS, EROFS uses a pcluster-based compressed data layout that offers efficient random read access without decompressing entire blocks. It supports multiple compression algorithms including LZ4 and DEFLATE. Having native support in Cerbero Suite means analysts can inspect Android system images, container images, and embedded firmware encountered during security research, vulnerability assessment, or forensic investigations without needing external tools.
