I just stumbled across something interesting regarding novatek hacking:

CVE-2018-4018

Actually someone (Lilith from Cisco Talos) discovered a vulnerability in wifi enabled novatek dashcams.
You can read more details here:https://talosintelligence.com/vulner...ALOS-2018-0689

It even mentions the checksum cracking done by ntkcalc and packing via bfc4ntk

It's listed at MITRE and NIST:

According to their timeline, Novatek needs to know about the firmware hacking by now

"any NT96650 device it is surmised), it will look for the “A:\FW96658A.bin” file"
Isn't it A:\FW96650A.bin?
