| said by Lazlow:ISPvsP2P So where do you put the liability for cable modem spoofing? Networking in general. That's just the way it is. Although I would think it would take some work to spoof the mac address on a cable modem not the device connected to it as that's what's used to get someone on a cable network in the first place. I would hope the ISP would have some protection against Mac spoofing but if they don't, yes this could pose a major issue. |

Saint Louis, MO | It is relatively easy to modify a modem to allow for cable modem spoofing or one can buy them premodified. Here is the one that has gotten the most press:

So far there is no real defense that the ISPs have come up with that is not easily sidestepped. |
