I'm trying to mount an img file but I can't seem to do it successfully.

When I fun the file command on that .img it returns the following:

$ file file.img 
file.img: data

When I try to use mount on it I get the following:

$ sudo mount file.img test/
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

When I try to tell to use "-t auto" I get the same output:

$ sudo mount -t auto file.img test
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

I don't really know how to extract the files from this img.

Edit 1:

Jofel the following is outputted

This file is not an image of a filesystem.

Given the file name, it's a firmware image for an On Networks N150R router, which if I parse the OpenWRT makefiles correctly is a rebranded Netgear WNR612V2.

Given that the file has fairly even byte counts for every byte value except 0, I expect that the file contains:

• a small bit of Atheros code at the beginning, since this device has an AR71xx chip;


• a compressed image that is loaded by said bit of code.


• some padding consisting of null bytes.

The compressed image may or may not be a filesystem, that's more reverse engineering than I care to do. If you want to see what's inside, you'll need to do some reverse engineering (or search the web, quite probably someone's already done it).
