Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users How to determine the encoding of this dd image? Post 302905992 by NICEPeppino on Monday 16th of June 2014 12:56:16 PM

Thank you for your reply

I have heard many times that this job cannot be done without knowing the source of my data and how it has been written on the tape and I agree with you. Unfortunately, I must do it without any insight and this is the reason why I started looking at its hexadecimal notation with an hex editor.

The tape is a mix of metadata and voice audio and I need to figure out how I can decrypt both these source within the image.

Thanks to the hex editor I now understand that before each audio there is a piece information concerning the audio.

The information above is regarding this info.
My knowledge about reverse engineering is limited but I must do it (Job is Job Smilie)

Apprarently I was previously wrong since I have copied and pasted this piece of data on this
HTML Code:
http://www.scadacore.com/field-applications/miscellaneous/online-hex-converter.html
website and the data format seems to be big endian 32 Smilie

Btw I have typed this command in the shell to convert the file

Code:
cat file | strings --encoding=B > convToString

but something went wrong.

whereas the command
Code:
cat file | strings > convToString

convert it but with many errors

Any help?
