| In the beginning there was dial-up, 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, WebSTAR, D-Link and more.
Inside Hacking The Cable Modem, you'll learn:
the history of cable modem hacking
how a cable modem works
the importance of firmware (including multiple ways to
install new firmware)
how to unblock network ports and unlock hidden features
how to hack and modify your cable modem
what uncapping is and how it makes cable modems upload and
download faster
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.
