What format is the Sophos UTM configuration file stored in, and how can it be parsed?

The configuration file `cfg` located at `/var/confd/var/storage/cfg` is in **Perl Storable** binary format (major 2, minor 7). It is serialized data from Perl. Parsing can be done using Python's `storable` module (`pip install storable`) with the `retrieve()` function, which outputs a JSON dictionary. The JSON may require formatting fixes, e.g., using the Pretty JSON plugin in Sublime Text. The full parsing workflow is explained in the Sophos UTM Exploitation Analysis.
