Reverse engineering a Viking VOIP phone protocol with Claude Code — Boris Starkov, Eleven Labs
This talk details the process of reverse-engineering a legacy Viking VOIP phone's protocol using Claude Code to enable connection with a modern conversational AI agent. The primary challenge was the phone's outdated Windows XP-compatible software, which posed setup difficulties for engineers using Mac operating systems. The solution involved leveraging Claude Code to discover communication ports, identify and brute-force two-letter command codes, and ultimately decipher a proprietary protocol, including a one-byte checksum encryption.
