Tekton Web Development
Tekton Web requested our services to convert binary dumps into
seamless financial reporting data.
Tekton's clients had outdated equipment which produced transaction data as
daily binary file dumps.
After an examination of the binary data, we asked the customer to help us
reverse engineer the binary by generating simple transactions. With this
data, we were able to recognize floats, integers and hexadecimal transaction
types.
The final challenge was to understand the bit mapping of 6 byte float
values.
After researching several sites the internet, we discovered that the 6 byte
real used in Delphi version 3 and older and Borland's Object Pascal. The
author of the following web page finalized our missing calculation for float
conversion with the following calculation:
http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/programs/floatval.pas
function SixToAns(const Six : real{48}) : Tanswer ;
const Q6 : extended = 1.0/256.0 ;
type A6 = array [1..6] of byte ;
var S : extended ; A : A6 absolute Six ;
begin
if A[1]=0 then begin SixToAns := 0.0 ; EXIT end ;
S := 1.0 + 2.0 * ((((A[2]*Q6+A[3])*Q6+A[4])*Q6+A[5])*Q6+(A[6] and $7F))*Q6 ;
if A[6]>127 then S := -S ;
SixToAns := S * TwoTo(integer(A[1])-129) end {SixToAns} ;
The final output was generated as normalized database records, which can be
stored in any common relational database.
