| Data stream dump and CS calculation puzzle. |

I have this funny byte puzzle.
It is a data stream taken from a running system. I want to change some of the bit, but to get it work the checksum byte must fit.
So the CS byte is the puzzle.
The first 12 first byte is data i think (99% sure). The last byte is a CS byte I know! The CS byte change if something in the 12 other byte is changed.
My problem is to calculate the CS byte. I have now tried all what i can come over. XOR, SUM, Swapping byte in H-L order, Invert byte, and so on. It wont fit.
In the CS byte i have only seen a 1 in the Low part of the byte, and i have dumped a lot more data than what showing hare.
Is someone smart enough to find the solution?

I've got 3 solutions..
the simplest is
... to look at the programs function or subroutine that reads the 12 bytes of data and computes the internal checksum to compare against the 13th byte, the 'known' checksum.
This is also the fastest and most accurate way of reverse engineering the checksum.
The others involve taking the data and plugging them into a quickbasic program I wrote a 1/4 century ago to come up with the algorithm. Have to admit it was kinda nice to see that program running again....
sigh, time flies.... |

Hi
There are no more help than what I show here.
I made a simple testing program in C, it work on 90% of the data.
It is compiled with "codeblock"
| Code: | #include <iostream>
#include "stdio.h"
#include "string.h"
#include "stdlib.h"
#define byte short unsigned int
using namespace std;
const byte RawData[12][13]={
{0xaa,0x5a,0xcf,0x10,0x01,0x11,0x21,0x07,0x08,0x80,0x00,0xf0,0x61},
{0xaa,0x5a,0xcf,0x10,0x00,0x31,0x21,0x07,0x08,0x80,0x04,0xf0,0x11},
{0xaa,0x5a,0xcf,0x10,0x01,0x31,0x21,0x07,0x08,0x80,0x04,0xf0,0x01},
{0xaa,0x5a,0xcf,0x10,0x02,0x31,0x21,0x07,0x08,0x80,0x04,0xf0,0x31},
{0xaa,0x5a,0xcf,0x10,0x03,0x31,0x21,0x07,0x08,0x80,0x04,0xf0,0x21},
{0xaa,0x5a,0xcf,0x10,0x04,0x31,0x21,0x07,0x08,0x80,0x04,0xf0,0x51},
{0xaa,0x5a,0xcf,0x10,0x05,0x31,0x21,0x07,0x08,0x80,0x04,0xf0,0x41},
{0xaa,0x5a,0xcf,0x10,0x06,0x31,0x21,0x07,0x08,0x80,0x04,0xf0,0x71},
{0xaa,0x5a,0xcf,0x10,0x07,0x31,0x21,0x07,0x08,0x80,0x04,0xf0,0x61},
{0xaa,0x5a,0xcf,0x10,0x07,0x21,0x21,0x07,0x08,0x80,0x00,0xf0,0x31},
{0xaa,0x5a,0xcf,0x10,0x05,0x21,0x21,0x07,0x18,0x80,0x00,0xf0,0x01},
{0xaa,0x5a,0xcf,0x10,0x05,0x11,0x21,0x07,0x18,0x80,0x00,0xf0,0x31}
};
byte HI(byte d){
return ((d>>4)&0x0f);
}
byte LO(byte d){
return (d&0x0f);
}
byte HLSwap(byte d){
byte res;
res=LO(d)<<4|HI(d);
return (res);
}
byte HLInv(byte d){
byte res;
res=d^0xff;
return (res);
}
void CS1(){
byte j,i,res;
for (j=0; j<12; j++){
res=0x00;
for (i=0; i<12; i++){
res^=(RawData[j][i]);
}
res^=0x55;
printf("*CS:%02x CS:%02x Line:%2u\r\n",HLSwap(res),RawData[j][i],j);
}
}
int main(void)
{
CS1();
return 0;
