DOCSIS Security Illegal Wiretapping and Eavesdropping

2012-09-04T10:00:57-04:00September 4th, 2012|

Wiretapping has Evolved Before electronic eavesdropping there was just wiretapping.  When you think of wiretapping you may think of a guy in a box truck or apartment eating donuts with pizza listening in on endlessly boring phone conversations waiting to hear that one "Eureka" moment of important information.  The movie Casino comes to mind too.  The scene where Sam and Nicky have their wives talk on the phone first and then take the conversation over in timed intervals so that they can speak. So what is wiretapping?  It is

Theft of Service via Cloning DOCSIS Security - If only cloning your favorite pet was as easy as cloning a MAC address on a cable modem.  There are dozens of websites out there giving subscribers or hackers step by step instructions on how to clone a MAC address.  Each cable modem, regardless of brand, is uniquely identified by its Cable Modems ID, or MAC address - short for Media Access Control. This address is programmed into a writable memory address of the hardware in the cable modem, and is associated with a

DOCSIS Network Security | Theft of Service

2021-11-24T09:10:08-05:00August 6th, 2012|

DOCSIS Network Security - It Matters! My next few posts will focus on the security issues associated with DOCSIS networks including, but not limited to theft of service, uncapping modems, illegal wire-tapping by unauthorized citizens, viewing of operating internal network infrastructure and more.  These security issues are an increasing threat as the number of DOCSIS subscribers increase, economic drivers cause subscribers to reduce costs, and un-ethical web sites provide easy step-by-step solutions for how to hack your network.  While the posts will provide a reality check for everyone

Tech Review | HbbTV, Linux & a Cool Box

2020-08-06T11:33:35-04:00July 23rd, 2012|

While checking out the booths at ANGA we came across a company by the name of Vu+.  What caught my eye was Linux written in big letters on the side of the booth.  Anything Linux will usually get me to walk into a booth.  We met with two associates one from Vu+, Victor Heo and one from Marusys, Rose Chang who gave us a tour of their companies products and introduced us to HbbTV. What is HbbTV?  Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV (HbbTV) is both an industry standard and promotional initiative for hybrid

Advanced Troubleshooting in a DOCSIS 3.0 Plant

2020-07-02T17:55:04-04:00January 26th, 2012|

If you missed the SCTE Cable-Tec 2011, I am making available my presentation and white paper on Advanced Troubleshooting in a DOCSIS 3.0 Plant. Each speaker had only 20 minutes to cover topics that could easily last hours, so the presentations are understandably brief. Below you will find my presentation in "Slideshare" for online viewing as well as a fully downloadable PowerPoint version. The PowerPoint version also has reader notes attached at the bottom of each slide which you may find useful. In addition, the animations work a little better in the downloadable version.
