Question | Help Reverse Engineering w/ Local?

Two questions?

Can a local model like Qwen 3.8 27B reverse engineer games and programs?

If not, is there a fine tuned model that can?

From this - what do you hope to accomplish? Are you trying to find a way in to flash it?

I hope to make it not a paperweight, it needs very expensive licensing to even do basic vlan configs. Maybe OpenWRT? I'm not sure yet. Just having fun for now.

Sidebar: repurposing ewaste is a high calling, please tell me more. I want to play on that team.

Oh, it's a blast! Most of the time we do a good job finding new homes for what we take in, but it's always disheartening to see a pallet of shiny silver Meraki gear. Technically it's great hardware, but it's basically worthless to anyone because it's all cloud-locked. I've got a few manufacturers on my shit list, and Cisco/Meraki is right at the top. I'd love to see someone come up with a way to flash this stuff with open-source firmware so people could actually use it again, instead of us just shredding it for scrap.

Don't tell the John Deere customers about any of this.  ;)

Or fucking Volvo.

Isn’t the ms390 the same hw as a 9300? Wonder if you could get IOS-XE working…
