# WDA Konfigurator: a reconstructed Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter configuration client

> WDA Konfigurator reconstructs the configuration client for Microsoft Wireless Display Adapters. The author derived its CGI request protocol from original-app traffic and app inspection, then built a Windows GUI and CLI for settings and official firmware installation. The documented protocol covers commands, discovery, errors and firmware transfer for Gen 1, Gen 1.5 and Gen 3.
