  1. Hello fedi!

    I have an .MVAX #firmware #update file for an MV Silicon chip (unknown model).

    Has someone already encountered those? And if yes, is there some documentation, tooling or existing #ReverseEngineering work done of that format?

    For the record, the file magic (first 8 bytes) is as follow:
    4D 56 B5 58 05 01 13 00

    And the end of the file contains the following (no spaces, wrapping is mine):

    MVSKeyFileMVBP10<0x90>0xBE>SIMPLEs
    <0xD3><0x9A>.<0x90><0xD9>
    MVSILICONKEYFL<0x00><0x00>
    <0xFF><0xBD><0x00>0x00>

    Thanks in advance for your help!!

  3. Shattering the eyeglass: Using Kaitai Structs to dissect the eyeglass’ contents


    by @beet_keeper

    In my post from 2012: Genesis of a File Format, I created a new file format – the Eyeglass file format. The format provides a mechanism to persist information about a patient’s eye health following a checkup at an opticians. Today in 2023 we can use the format to understand how to make use of Kaitai Structs for understanding file formats.

    Given the disclaimer that I am not actually an optician and that the format is purely illustrative, let’s look at the eyeglass again below.
