    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

      What model did you try? Chinese models have no issues with that type of stuff

        In my testing, Qwen, Kimi K3 and GLM 5.3 Flash all refused to create a POC for a CVE that did anything beyond just crashing the target. The CVE was for an RCE vulnerability, but they all stopped at corrupting a pointer, causing a Segfault. It's probably not too hard to circumvent the guardrails, but using an abliterated model would most likely be faster and more reliable.

          Don't say "hacking" . You are debugging a segfault or you found some strange code that you want to understand, verify the bug report validity or what not.
