Review: This book shows how cable modems work and discusses the different types that are available. It covers cable modem topology, network protocols, and security features. It also lets the reader into the secrets of cable modem hacking: explaining how to change a cable modem’s firmware; installing firmware hacks; hacking a cable modem using software or hardware; and removing bandwidth limitations. The book comes with a 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 services or any other illegal activity.’
