Motorola has a tool called "MOTOTRBO Air Tracer" which they use to gather information about a system, should a customer have issues which need to be reviewed by a so-called engineer.

The software works when a radio (mobile or portable) is connected via USB cable. The software writes a file with the extension *.dblog.

After poking around at the file, I determined it is a Microsoft Access database. I changed the the extension to *.mdb, and opened it with Microsoft Access. It was password protected. The password was trivial to crack:

Code:
A-E = AZ and a-z :-)

Enter this password, exactly as shown, into the password prompt in Microsoft Access. It will decrypt and open. Have fun trying to make sense of the data!

Thanks Motorola!

Now I know what I'm going to be doing with my weekend
Please post any progress you make in deciphering the data. It is formatted in clear text, but it is almost as if it is meant to be fed into something else for further debugging.
