ibdata.

It's an unreliable method of moving a database. It could be mysql 3, 4, 5.0, 5.1, 5.5, 5.6 or 5.7. There are many incompatibilities amongst all those versions.

The data's not stolen, is it?

You could install MySQL server versions in turn on a machine, in each case stopping the server, dropping in the files you have, deleting existing innodb logs, and starting it up again to see how far testing gets.

Better, though: ask the source of the data for a mysqldump.
