NO ONE wants to hack your modem. Hacking into your modem is both pointless and useless. I gain nothing from hacking your modem. I can do snmp queries remotely if im on the same node as you. I can get information from your modem. With spoofing my ip address i could probably reboot your modem remotely with a snmp command. There are a lot of things to need to be right to do any of that. 1. I have to use the same network as you. 2. I need your ip address. 3. I must have the same HFC gateway. 4. I must be on the same node. 5. I have to get your HFC gateway address 1st. 6. I would have to know what the snmp OID is. 7. I would need to know what your TFTP server address is. So someone from another netowrk not on your node or the same gateway would not be able to do any of this anyway. Especially if snmp control is turned off on the modem. Which it is on the 5100. Ethernet boot has also been removed. Unless you make some physical changes (chips) ect.. Why do all that when I can be doing something else. Like grabbin a movie or 2 or making use of my time reading great articles like this at DSLR.
