Research direction

Download and inspect the attached bins.zip, then reproduce the reported behavior with RetDec's MIPS ELF analysis. Check the results for missing functions, incorrect function boundaries, missing strings, and unrecognized wrappers; done means these detections are corrected for the supplied binaries.
