Default Profile <BLOB> Question

Hey, it's me again with some more MySQL questions. What I'm trying to do is access the Profile. I understand this is Binary, but I was wondering if there's a way to convert it enough to grab sections. (Like skills, & what level they're at.) I'm working on a few mod idea's, and accessing these value's directly from the BLOB in some way would solve a few issue's I'm running into. (like if I were to try to get the 1H Blunt skill for characterX) Thanks.

EDIT: Additionally, If a characters current atk could also be pulled from somewhere, that would reduce quiet a bit of code.

Look at the section of the code where the blob is read from the DB and converted into readable data and loaded by the server. It should have a struct in there somewhere that says exactly what format the blob is, then you can look at the blob using a hex editor and look at the correct byes to see what everything is. Or you could write a simple cgi or something that reads it from the DB and prints it out on a web browser since the struct already exists.
