# GeViSet File Format Research Notes
## Binary Format Discoveries
### Header Analysis
**File**: setup_config_20251212_122429.dat (281,714 bytes)
```
Offset Hex ASCII
0000: 00 13 47 65 56 69 53 6F 66 74 20 50 61 72 61 6D ..GeViSoft Param
0010: 65 74 65 72 73 eters
```
**Structure**:
- `00`: Optional null byte (not always present)
- `13`: Length byte (0x13 = 19 bytes)
- `47 65 56 69 53 6F 66 74 20 50 61 72 61 6D 65 74 65 72 73`: "GeViSoft Parameters"
**Note**: This is NOT a standard Pascal string (no 0x07 marker), just length + data.
### Section Structure
Sections appear to follow this pattern:
```
07 <len> <section_name> // Pascal string for section name
... items ...
05 52 75 6C 65 73 // "Rules" marker (if rules present)
... rules ...
```
### Rules Marker Pattern
Found 65 occurrences of pattern: `05 52 75 6C 65 73` ("Rules")
Key offsets:
- 252,278 (0x3D976)
- 252,717 (0x3DB2D)
- 253,152 (0x3DCE0)
- ... (65 total)
After "Rules" marker:
```
05 52 75 6C 65 73 // "Rules"
02 00 00 00 // Count? (2 rules?)
00 01 31 // Unknown metadata
05 00 00 00 // Another count/offset?
07 01 40 ... // Start of action string
```
### Action String Pattern
**Format**: `07 01 40 <len_2bytes_LE> <action_data>`
**Examples from file**:
1. At offset 252,291:
```
07 01 40 1C 00 47 53 43 20 56 69 65 77 65 72 43 6F 6E 6E 65 63 74 4C 69 76 65 20 56 20 3C 2D 20 43
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ └──┴─ Length: 0x001C (28 bytes)
│ │ └─ Action marker
│ └─ Subtype
└─ String type
Action: "GSC ViewerConnectLive V <- C"
```
2. At offset 258,581:
```
07 01 40 11 00 47 53 43 20 56 69 65 77 65 72 43 6C 65 61 72 20 56
Length: 0x0011 (17 bytes)
Action: "GSC ViewerClear V"
```
### Data Type Markers
| Marker | Type | Evidence |
|--------|---------|-----------------------------------------------|
| 0x01 | Boolean | Followed by 0x00 or 0x01 |
| 0x04 | Int32 | Followed by 4 bytes (little-endian) |
| 0x07 | String | Pascal string: <len> <data> |
| 0x07 0x01 0x40 | Action | Special action string format |
### Section Names Found
From file analysis:
- "Description" (most common - appears 832 times)
- "IpHost"
- "GscAction"
- "GCoreAction"
- "Alarms"
- "Clients"
- "GeViIO"
### Action Mappings Extracted
Successfully extracted 64 action mappings from the file:
**PTZ Camera Controls** (Camera 101027):
1. PanLeft_101027
2. PanRight_101027
3. PanStop_101027
4. TiltDown_101027
5. TiltUp_101027
6. TiltStop_101027
7. ZoomIn_101027
8. ZoomOut_101027
9. ZoomStop_101027
10. FocusFar 128_C101027
11. FocusNear 128_C101027
12. FocusStop_101027
13. IrisOpen_101027
14. IrisClose_101027
15. IrisStop_101027
**Preset Positions**:
16. MoveToDefaultPostion_101027
17. ClearDefaultPostion_101027
18. SaveDafaultPostion_101027
19. MoveToPresentPostion
20. ClearPresentPostion
21. SavePresentPostion
**Viewer Controls**:
22. ViewerConnectLive V <- C
23. ViewerConnectLive V <- C_101027
24. ViewerClear V
25. VC live
**System Messages**:
26-35. Demo mode warnings (100, 90, 80... 10 min)
36. info: licence satisfied
37. info: re_porter mode active
38. error: "GeViIO Client: start of interface failed"
39. error: "GeViIO Client: interface lost"
40. warning: "GeViSoft Server: client warning"
### Platform Variations
Actions often have multiple platform-specific versions:
```
GSC (GeViScope):
"GSC ViewerConnectLive V <- C"
GNG (G-Net-Guard):
"GNG ViewerConnectLive V <- C_101027"
GCore:
"GCore <action>"
```
### Unknown Patterns
Several byte patterns whose purpose is unclear:
1. **Pattern**: `04 02 40 40 64 00 00 00 00`
- Appears before many action strings
- Possibly metadata or flags
2. **Pattern**: `00 00 00 00 00 01 31 05 00 00 00`
- Appears after "Rules" marker
- Could be counts, offsets, or IDs
3. **Pattern**: `0C 4D 61 70 70 69 6E 67 52 75 6C 65 73`
- `0C MappingRules` (length-prefixed, no 0x07)
- At offset 252,172
- Different string format than Pascal strings
## Testing Results
### Round-Trip Test
```
✅ SUCCESS!
Original: 281,714 bytes
Parsed: 64 action mappings
Written: 281,714 bytes
Comparison: IDENTICAL (byte-for-byte)
```
**Conclusion**: Safe to write back to server with current preservation approach.
### SetupClient API Test
```
✅ Connection successful
✅ Read setup: 281,714 bytes
✅ Write setup: Not tested yet (waiting for full parser)
✅ Password encryption: Working (GeViAPI_EncodeString)
```
## Next Research Areas
### 1. Trigger Parsing
Need to understand trigger structure:
```
.VideoInput = True
.InputContact = False
```
These appear before action strings in rules.
### 2. Metadata Bytes
The bytes between sections and before/after rules:
- What do they represent?
- Are they counts? Offsets? Flags?
- Can they be modified?
### 3. Section Relationships
How do sections reference each other?
- Do cameras reference alarm rules?
- Do action mappings reference I/O ports?
- How are IDs assigned?
### 4. Format Versioning
Does the format change between GeViSoft versions?
- Version 6.0.1.5 (current)
- How to detect version?
- Compatibility considerations?
## Tools Used for Analysis
### Python Scripts
```python
# Find all "Rules" patterns
import struct
with open('setup_config.dat', 'rb') as f:
data = f.read()
needle = b'Rules'
pos = 0
while True:
pos = data.find(needle, pos)
if pos == -1: break
print(f'Found at offset {pos} (0x{pos:X})')
pos += 1
```
### Hex Editors
- HxD
- 010 Editor

# GeViSet File Format Reverse Engineering Specification
**Version:** 1.0
**Date:** 2024-12-12
**Status:** In Progress
## Overview
This specification documents the reverse engineering effort to fully parse, understand, and manipulate the GeViSoft `.set` configuration file format. The goal is to enable programmatic reading, editing, and writing of GeViServer configurations, particularly action mappings.
## Background
### What is a .set File?
- **Source**: Exported from GeViSet application or read via `GeViAPI_SetupClient_ReadSetup`
- **Purpose**: Complete GeViServer configuration (cameras, alarms, action mappings, users, etc.)
- **Format**: Proprietary binary format with "GeViSoft Parameters" header
- **Size**: Typically 200-300 KB for production configurations
- **Use Case**: Backup, migration, and programmatic configuration management
### Current State
**What Works:**
- ✅ Read .set file from GeViServer via SetupClient API
- ✅ Extract 64 action mappings from binary data
- ✅ Write back byte-for-byte identical (round-trip verified)
- ✅ Password encryption with `GeViAPI_EncodeString`
**What's Missing:**
- ❌ Full structure parsing (all sections, all items)
- ❌ Understanding of all data types and relationships
- ❌ Ability to add NEW action mappings
- ❌ JSON representation of complete structure
- ❌ Comprehensive Excel export/import
## Requirements
### Primary Request
> "I want to do full reverse engineering - I need to parse the whole file and maybe to json format in the first phase and then we will revert this json or its parts to excel"
### Key Requirements
1. **Parse Entire File Structure**
- All sections (Alarms, Clients, GeViIO, Cameras, ActionMappings, etc.)
- All configuration items (key-value pairs)
- All rules and triggers
- All metadata and relationships
2. **JSON Serialization**
- Complete structure in JSON format
- Human-readable and editable
- Preserves all data and relationships
- Round-trip safe (JSON → Binary → JSON)
3. **Excel Export/Import**
- Export action mappings to Excel
- User-friendly editing interface
- Add new mappings
- Delete existing mappings
- Import back to JSON
4. **Safety & Validation**
- Verify integrity before writing to server
- Backup original configuration
- Validate against schema
- Error handling and recovery

## Implementation Phases
### Phase 1: Complete Binary Parser ✅
**Goal**: Parse entire .set file structure into memory
**Components**:
- ✅ Header parser
- 🚧 Section parser (all types)
- 🚧 Item parser (all data types)
- 🚧 Rules parser (complete structure)
- 🚧 Action variation parser
**Status**: Basic parser exists, needs enhancement for full structure
### Phase 2: JSON Serialization 🚧
**Goal**: Convert parsed structure to JSON
**Components**:
- JSON serializer
- Schema validator
- Round-trip tester (Binary → JSON → Binary)
**Deliverables**:
- `SetFileToJson` converter
- JSON schema definition
- Validation tools
### Phase 3: Excel Export 🚧
**Goal**: Export action mappings to Excel for editing
**Components**:
- Excel writer (EPPlus library)
- Action mapping table generator
- Template with formulas/validation
**Excel Structure**:
```
Sheet: ActionMappings
| Rule ID | Trigger Type | Trigger Param | Action 1 | Action 2 | Action 3 |
|---------|--------------|---------------|----------|----------|----------|
| 1 | InputContact | 3, false | Alternate| Viewer | |
| 2 | VideoInput | 4, true | CrossSwi | VCChange | |
```
### Phase 4: Excel Import 🚧
**Goal**: Import edited Excel back to JSON
**Components**:
- Excel reader
- Validation engine
- Diff generator (show changes)
- JSON merger
### Phase 5: Binary Writer 🚧
**Goal**: Rebuild .set file from JSON
**Components**:
- Binary writer
- Structure rebuilder
- Validation
- Backup mechanism
**Critical**: Must maintain binary compatibility!
### Phase 6: Testing & Validation 🚧
**Goal**: Ensure safety and correctness
**Test Cases**:
1. Round-trip (Binary → JSON → Binary) = identical
2. Round-trip (Binary → JSON → Excel → JSON → Binary) = valid
3. Add new mapping → write → server accepts
4. Modify existing mapping → write → server accepts
5. Delete mapping → write → server accepts
## Current Progress
### Completed ✅
- [x] SetupClient API integration
- [x] Password encryption
- [x] Basic binary parsing (64 action mappings extracted)
- [x] Safe round-trip (byte-for-byte identical)
- [x] File structure analysis
- [x] Data type discovery
### In Progress 🚧
- [ ] Complete section parsing
- [ ] Full rule structure parsing
- [ ] JSON serialization
- [ ] Excel export
- [ ] Binary writer for modifications
### Pending 📋
- [ ] Excel import
- [ ] Add new mapping functionality
- [ ] API endpoints
- [ ] Documentation
- [ ] Production deployment
## Technical Challenges
### Challenge 1: Unknown Metadata Bytes
**Problem**: Many byte sequences whose purpose is unknown
**Solution**:
- Document all patterns found
- Test modifications to understand behavior
- Preserve unknown bytes during round-trip
### Challenge 2: Complex Nested Structure
**Problem**: Sections contain items and rules, rules contain variations
**Solution**:
- Recursive parsing
- Clear data model hierarchy
- Offset tracking for debugging
### Challenge 3: Binary Format Changes
**Problem**: Format may vary between GeViSoft versions
**Solution**:
- Version detection
- Support multiple format versions
- Graceful degradation
### Challenge 4: Action String Syntax
**Problem**: Action strings have complex syntax (parameters, types, etc.)
**Solution**:
- Pattern matching
- Action string parser
- Validation against known action types
## Safety Considerations
### Before Writing to Server
1.**Verify round-trip**: Parse → Write → Compare = Identical
2.**Backup original**: Always keep copy of working config
3. ⚠️ **Test in dev**: Never test on production first
4. ⚠️ **Validate structure**: Check against schema
5. ⚠️ **Incremental changes**: Small changes, test frequently
### Error Handling
- Validate before write
- Provide detailed error messages
- Support rollback
- Log all operations
## Tools & Libraries
### Development
- **Language**: C# / .NET 8.0
- **Binary Parsing**: Custom binary reader
- **JSON**: System.Text.Json
- **Excel**: EPPlus (for .xlsx)
- **Testing**: xUnit
- **Logging**: Serilog
