Re: Security with Cable Modem and ComCast?
said by grazed  :How do you think people run unregistered modems? That's a completely different issue then accessing your neighbor's computer.
I've hacked plenty of modems when it was possible and needed to know nothing from any other modem or end user computer on the network. It was between me and the ISP servers.
How do you propose the modem listens to the other modems on the local segment? It can't do it directly, it has to wait for the data processed by the CMTS.
This is also why the netBIOS and other OS level sharing ports are usually blocked at the modem and CMTS. |
