| | two mac addresses IF you clone a mac address wouldnt the mac address show up twice in the system? Wouldnt that show up as a problem right away?
Also dont cablemodems check their configs against whats at the head end? So how do these hackers keep the hacked config on their modems.
I dont see the hacked speeds lasting to long. | |

It is not that unusual for a MAC to show up more than once on a router/switch. So thats not a great indicator

1 edit | Re: two mac addresses ok? What does that have to do with ghost sessions on a router's interfaces? I have seen devices showing the same MAC on 2 different ports. It has to do with how switchport access is setup

Where there's a switched network it's quite possible for the same device and MAC address to be seen on multiple ports. As you said however this is the same device just seen on multiple ports, and this does not apply to cable networks. No modem should be seen on multiple MAC domains. | |
|
| | | The MAC is related to the specific port that it is connected to on a switch. They route by MAC, not be IP. So it showing up on more than one port would be a problem.
Hackers are arrogant by nature and thinking they can't be tracked is just stupidity. It may not be easy, but EVERYTHING can be tracked. If it can go from point A to point B, then a trail is left and it can be followed. | |
|
| | All of the cable modems in one provider are not all in one big flat network. Each CMTS has its own MAC address table. 2 CMTS's side by side would not share MAC data, only routing data. 2 identical MACs on 2 different CMTS's would have different IP's and the modems could talk directly to each other over IP with no problem, and all provisioning servers at the provider could talk to each modem over IP just fine.
If you have 2 identical MACs on the same CMTS, they won't work, or one will work sometimes, and the other will work some other time. | |
