Dahua ConfigCleaner tool or password reset tool

[SergeiF 0]

Hi,

 

(Correct me if I am wrong): As many of you aware newer Dahua cameras do not come with reset button to reset it to factory defaults (or at least reset the password).

Since admin password is part of telnet password, if admin password is forgotten and other users also have been deleted it is not possible to reset the camera at home without RS232.

 

What I found out is that Dahua has internal password reset tool (ConfigCleaner).

I would love to get my hands on it to reverse engineer and make an open source friendly script (since I don't run windows, apart from a test virtual machine used to reverse engineer windows only tools).

 

Here is a proof of concept for Hikvision:

Why? Because I would like to actually own my hardware.

 

One day we will have Open-WRT/DD-WRT/Tomato open router firmware equivalent for IP-Cameras which will free us from crappy, insecure firmware hell that the IP Camera market is (FFS why ActiveX is still used???).

 

Any friendly Dahua resellers/employees here? I will promise not to publish actual tool (only the result from reverse engineering, which is perfectly legal ).

The HIKVISION reset tool no longer work for the newer firmwares.

 

If you are into HIKVISION, do you know how they generate the QR Code's Code ?

Nope, but I am interested to find out.

Is there a "document" of the whole process?

Can't find any documentation on that.

Am looking for it as well.
