<li>Find the <code>k.b00</code> file in the root directory. Extract it
using <code>zcat k.b00 > vmvisor64-vmkernel</code> (or a similar command).
Repeat the steps described above using <code>objdump -x
vmvisor64-vmkernel</code>.</li>
<li id="vmklinux">To retrieve <code>vmklinux_9</code> you will need to install
ESXi on your system by booting the ISO and following the instructions. Once
booted, you can then enable SSH access using “Customize System/View Logs ->
Troubleshooting Options -> Enable SSH”. Login to the system with SSH
and then run <code>find /vmfs -name misc_dri.v00 -print</code>. On the
resulting file, run <code>zcat misc_dri.v00 > misc_dri.vmtar</code> then
<code>vmtar -x misc_dri.vmtar -o misc_dri.tar</code>. You can then extract
<code>misc_dri.tar</code> using the usual <code>tar</code> to extract
<code>usr/lib/vmware/vmkmod/vmklinux_9</code>. The <code>misc_dri.v00</code>
file is also available next to <code>k.b00</code> in the root directory of
the ISO (mentioned above), but the <code>vmtar</code> command itself is only
available when logged into an ESXi system. <code>vmtar</code> can be found
at <code>bin/vmtar</code> inside
<code>sb.v00</code> on the ISO, but one needs <code>vmtar</code> to open
<code>sb.v00</code>, similar to <code>misc_dri.v00</code> above.</li>
