I’ve wrote a simple php class to extract some data (Devices, Maps, Types and, partially, Links) directly from The Dude database file.
The idea came from this topic: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/pulling-data-direct-from-dude-database-proof-of-concept/128177/1 and the main decode method is a port of the python code wrote by 0ki here: https://github.com/0ki/mikrotik-tools/blob/master/mt_dat_decoder.py
Feel free to clone my github repository and use/modify/improve the code.
I’ll be happy to accept any pull request (there’s a ton of things that can be done…)
