Comcast Sued Over Router Update That Makes Your Wi-Fi Hotspot Public, Ignores Your Opt-Out Preferences from the pay-us-to-pay-us dept In June of last year, Comcast quietly announced that it was deploying a new 'Xfinity Home Hotspot' initiative that would turn user home routers into publicly-accessible hotspots. Updated routers broadcast two signals: one being yours, and the other being an 'Xfinitywifi' SSID offering free Wi-Fi to Comcast users in the area (prepaid Wi-Fi for non-Comcast customers). Comcast's FAQ attempts to minimize customer worries about the initiative by noting the public Wi-Fi doesn't count against the customer's usage caps, and the router delivers extra bandwidth (above your provisioned speeds) to counter any extra usage load. There are a number of problems with the initiative. One, you're paying Comcast a monthly fee (up to $10 in many areas) to rent hardware that's using your bandwidth (and around $30 in electricity annually) to effectively advertise and sell Comcast services.
Two, the service is being deployed market-by-market without prior consumer consent. It's also opt out not opt-in, and users complain the routers continuously and mysteriously reset this preference each time the hardware receives a firmware update. Three, Comcast's sending out misleading e-mails that may place an order for the new hardware without your consent. I know the config name, I know the server IP address but I cannot wget, nor tftp get it. I was able to download the config files about 5 years ago, but I do not remember how I did that.
How the CM is download the config file? I was tried to download both from windows cmd shell and linux shell. Tftp 'config server IP' get config.cfg config2.cfg not working. Also tried wget ip/config.cfg not working How can I download the config file? Is there any security filter to prevent downloading the config files from the server?
But how the CM is downloading it? Note: I have no working modded modem, so I can't download it via the modem using haxorware. Hi all, I recently became interested in modem hacking by watching some defcon videos. My goal is to learn enough to be able to program and possibly contribute to this interesting area. I mostly program in C, but I recently learned a bunch of MIPS. I'm sure I could pick up another RISC arch fairly easily.
I would appreciate resources to learn the background information. I would also appreciate resources explaining the hardware. I've been looking for a nice project so that I'd have motivation to learn how to interact with hardware, and this looks like a good place to start.

I did some research on this, and there still seems to be a very active modem mod community. That said, what I don't understand is that everything I've read on DOCSIS 3.0 networks is that the speed is limited at the headend/cmts by mac address. So sure, you can get a faster config file loaded on your modem with haxorware or forceware, but, does that matter? It seems that if the headend/cmts limits the speed by your mac, unless you can clone the mac from another modem that is subscribed to the cable provider to the speed you are trying get, that the trunk simply won't let you get that speed. If this is the case, why do people even bother with modem mods? Am I missing something? (sorry if this isn't the best sub for this, seemed like it had something to do with networking to a degree.xpost from ).
To my knowledge, Most of the modems around here (Bright House Central Florida) are limited at the modem. So running your own config could get you more bandwidth.
It makes sense, I do the same thing on my network, Push the rate limiting CPU cycles to the CPE device. Takes the load off my core.
With that being said. It starts to come down to RF more then anything. They're bonding multiple channels to get the required speed. I'm not a DOCSIS guy, But There could be some kind of limitation at the headend as to how many channels could be bonded. With more channels comes more frequency usage as well. And there is only so many that are usable on the cable.
But I digress. I'd say it would be worth a shot, Ignoring all legal aspects.
/2cents. The way it works (with most carriers) is: You power on your modem, it gets a DHCP address with a specific option (150?) pointing it to a tftp server. Your modem then downloads a config file based on it's MAC address and your subscription (100Mb/200Mb/300Mb etc). One way these 'uncapped' modems work is to simply download the config via TFTP, discard it and load a pre-modified config with the speed altered. This can give you a 300Mbps connection when you're only supposed to have 100. Another way would be to 'clone' a modem that has a higher subscription. You would need the modem's MAC address/serial number and the certificate the modem/carrier uses to authenticate that MAC address.
Late on this, but what the heck. DOCSIS spec has the rate limiting happening at the modem side. DOCSIS 3.0 config files (on a BPI+ network, which is trivial to implement so should be just about all of them, and definitely all of the major players) are both encrypted and digitally signed. While it is not impossible to get them to load a custom config file, it is no longer trivial, and requires soldering a EEPROM modification tool to the modem, along with quite a bit of other work. Even still, a modified modem is trivial to detect, as there is no way to mask what your real speed is, and it is simple to write a script that compares the speed that your modems service flow is using, to what it should be capable of.
Using Pre-Equalization numbers/RF data, and your timing offset (neither of which can be changed and your modem continue to function) can find the physical location of the modified modem down to about 30 feet on the cable plant. So modifying/masking your MAC address and/or SNMP data will not protect you.
