Posted February 9, 200421 yr all cable users check this: http://www.securityfocus.com/news/7977 if yuo dont use cable get your raggedy ass out my thread scum
February 9, 200421 yr rufl it would be fun to uncap, but i bet it would be pretty easy for the cable company to see who is hogging all the bandwith, especially where I live, in a smaller community.
February 9, 200421 yr Remember, uncapping is SOOOOO easy to detect on the cable company end. I work for a ISP and can tell you that there are programs in place that see this. Also remember, that people have been arrested for this under the cable theft law. I wouldn't recommend uncapping, at the very least you'll get caught and lose your service. Some of the other cool new hacks for cable modems can be fun though. Like the one that allows you to sniff other peoples packets that use the service. That to my knowledge would be almost impossible for them to detect.

February 9, 200421 yr i was gonna uncap a long time ago but it was being a bitch with my gayass 3com sharkfin modem and i guess it isnt worth getting caught
February 9, 200421 yr yeah i should have mentioned that your isp will have your nuts for doing it, its mostly for educational purposes
February 9, 200421 yr uncapping is easily and quickly identified, unless you figure out how to monitor the whole trunk line, so you don't create unusual amounts of traffic to draw their attention...the processes involved in doing this ARE illegal, to say the least, though. However...monitoring the traffic on your neighborhood line DOES give information you can use to your profit....blackmail, sales of personal information neighbors have transmitted over their machine, and so on, while illegal, is THE motivation behind most "real" hacking....
February 10, 200421 yr wtf hax i uncapped like a year ago and they still havent caught npor...its magic.
February 10, 200421 yr your isp can easily detect you uncapping by checking your bandwidth use, you can get huge fine or possible ban from the isp so far im not happy with a 20gb down / 2gb up bandwidth per month but im glad the download speed is great, usually more than 500KB down / 60KB up :grin2:
February 10, 200421 yr Blueyonder UK 512k ISP, £25/month Mines 512k down 15up....not amazing speeds then again i have no bw limits at all and many occasions ive been downloading constantly at top speed for most of the month. 20g limit wouldnt last me very long... i download a lot of movies/games etc...
