# Reverse-engineering procedure
This is the working method used to replace VDDK’s NBD path with Python.
Protocol details live in `docs/nfc_auth.md`, `docs/nfc_open.md`,
`docs/nfc_read.md`, and `docs/nfc_write.md`. The capture tool is
described in `docs/ssl_hook.md`.
This is the working method used to replace VDDK’s NBD path with a Python
implementation. Protocol details live in `docs/nfc_auth.md`,
`docs/nfc_open.md`, `docs/nfc_read.md`, and `docs/nfc_write.md`.
The capture tool is described in `docs/ssl_hook.md`.
This file is the **sequence of steps**, including dead ends, so later
NFC work can follow the same loop instead of rediscovering it.
Scope so far: `VixDiskLib_ConnectEx` + `VixDiskLib_Open` +
`VixDiskLib_Read` + `VixDiskLib_Write` against lab vCenter 8.0.1 /
ESXi 8, transports `nbd` and `nbdssl`. Driver: `tests/integration/` (the
session-scoped `lab` fixture creates a temporary empty VM with a 10 GiB
disk and destroys it when the pytest session ends).

`tests/integration/` (the session-scoped `lab` fixture creates a temporary

Rule from `AGENTS.md`: reuse pyVmomi for every public VIM operation.
Only reimplement what pyVmomi does not expose.
