Reverse Engineering the Stream Deck+


How to look inside the protocol workings of the Stream Deck Plus, the flexible and versatile button box that can do almost anything.

Luckily, building on my past work with DeckSurf, I finally was determined to push the pedal to the metal and make my project a viable alternative to proprietary software for this extremely versatile and flexible button box. That value is also the destination- the “address” of the device that we can use to inspect outbound traffic that actually sets things like brightness or images on the different surfaces available on the Stream Deck. The way I found this is by setting the background to the screen and then doing the PowerShell “hack” I mentioned above (but with a header offset of 16 bytes instead of 8) to inspect the traffic from my computer to the connected Stream Deck Plus.
