I have a chinese IP camera. From superficial research I know it has some CVEs to take control of it. Unfortunately, I don't have the technical knowledge to perform an attack and run some software to extend the camera's functionalities. No model from a provider accepts my RE and hacking requests, so these abliterated ones have been vital to reclaim possession over my stuff
Yeah Astra has decompiled binaries for me without even asking. I just asked like "is there a way to do this?" and it went ahead and disassembled it, found some undocumented APIs, figured out how they worked and gave me sample code to call them.
I think you probably just have to frame things right and get it in the mood (i.e. don't ask straight up at the start of the context).
For me as well. I had it reverse engineer my monitor’s firmware to see if i could add a feature which it seems like it can… i am just too scared i might brick my monitor to actually flash it now :)

Heck it has proactively asked me if I wanted it to tear apart APKs that remote control some HW I have.
