Hackers and computer geeks, People who want to know how broadband and cable modems work, Broadband customers who want faster Internet connections, Service providers and broadband engineers looking to improve security
In the beginning there was dailup, and it was slow; then came broadband in the form of cable, which redefined how we access the Internet, share information, and communicate with each other online. Hacking the Cable Modem goes inside the device that makes Internet via cable possible and, along the way, reveals secrets of many popular cable modems, including products from Motorola, RCA, Scientific Atlanta, D-Link, and more.
Written for people at all skill levels, the book features step-by-step tutorials with easy-to-follow diagrams, source code examples, hardware schematics, links to software (exclusive to this book!), and previously unreleased cable modem hacks. Many of the files and applications discussed in this book are also available exclusively at www. tcniso. net/Nav/NoStarch.
Profiled by SecurityFocus, TechTV, and the Register, DerEngel has been hailed as „the underground Prometheus of super-broadband“. Since he started hacking cable modems five years ago, he has written several programs to simplify and streamline the uncapping process. He currently heads TCNISO INC., a group of hackers that has revolutionized reverse engineering techniques and produces leading-edge firmware modifications.
Warning: The practice of modifying a cable modem violates service agreements, and hackers risk being banned for life by service providers. This book is not intended to be used for stealing Internet service or any other illegal activity.
