The filesystem extraction in this case uses the same approach that we performed earlier. It detects the filesystem and other component offsets using the magic bytes and the header signature characters - such as sqsh for Squashfs and so on. The number of filesystems detected by Binwalk can be found at this URL: https://github.com/devttys0/binwalk/blob/62e9caa164305a18d7d1f037ab27d14ac933d3cf/src/binwalk/magic/filesystems.
You can also manually add more signatures to your Binwalk instance and compile it to detect those additional filesystems.
