  • Analyzing binary data streams to identify embedded record structures
    Patent number: 8316034
    Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system identifies and extracts data structures embedded within a data stream, and comprises a computer system including at least one processor. The system analyzes the data stream and identifies data structure definitions corresponding to analyzed data stream portions. The data structure definitions each define a structure of a corresponding data structure, and are configurable to accommodate various types of data structures within the data stream. The corresponding data structures within the data stream are generated by extracting information from the data stream in accordance with the data structure definitions. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for identifying and extracting data structures embedded within a data stream in substantially the same manner described above.
