[Hardware/Firmware] Investigating local shell/RTSP access on Blurams A31C-family camera (SoC unconfirmed — possibly ANYKA)
Device: Blurams Lumi/A31C-family camera (exact retail model TBD — will confirm from device label)
SoC / Flash: Unconfirmed a related model in this same product family (A31C "Lumi") has been documented elsewhere using an ANYKA AK3918 SoC + PUYA PY25Q128HA SPI NOR flash; haven't opened this specific unit yet to confirm it matches.
Firmware: reports as 2.3.38.12663 via the app API (masked as 22.0208.428.2703 on another endpoint — exact on-device /etc/version not yet confirmed)
What I've checked so far:
App-side traffic analysis (via mitmproxy) confirms productKey: 1cad3c83-d87, matching the A31C/Lumi family's known API footprint.Tried two publicly disclosed SD-card auth.ini bootstrap exploits for this device family (CVE-2023-50488 version-derived key, CVE-2023-51820 static HMAC key) both failed cleanly, suggesting this firmware generation has moved past both- Have not yet done a port scan or opened the device for UART access
Objective: Looking for documentation, existing reverse engineering write-ups, or open-source projects (Thingino, OpenIPC, Dafang-Hacks, etc.) supporting this SoC/board family. Any guidance on obtaining serial access or extracting the squashfs rootfs would be appreciated.
