We have recently in our workplace stumbled upon a really old binary file that originates from unknown old computer. However in order to run this binary we need to get some local resources and hopefully accuire local additional documents regarding that binary. Talking about office masses...
Now we already used 'dumpelf' binary to extract any kind of info about it. We assume from that information and together with our programming practice that the binary was compiled for
vxworks 5.3.1
OS as a cross compilation from Solaris 2.6
OS and gcc version 2.95
(we are discussing here true legacy!)
I already stated that I strongly believe it isn't possible, but hopefully i'm wrong. If name isn't possible to retrieve, we can use other properties such as an IP address, MAC address of a NIC, usernames, Computer model and etc to narrow our search down.
Thank you for the upcoming efforts
Edit: strings
command was already suggested and executed, but gave no indicative outputs.
