TCNiSO Modem Hacking

Ok, i almost forgot about DerEngel for some time now. I was reading his book "Hacking the Cable Modem" 2 months back and i was really amazed by how small little things he found would lead to bigger hacks. The book is very insightful and teaches you how to do soldering and do modem hacking. Well, i am not good in reverse engineering, programming nor soldering. However this book really made me looked into how "real" hackers actually worked. In the end, it all boils down to teamwork for a successful hack. Buy this book if you are interested in modem hack or visit his website at http://www.tcniso.net/. You can find videos and other extra stuff that you won't find elsewhere. Below is a small image of the book and the excerpts



"When shopping for cable modems, you'll come across several different kinds. Almost all cable modems available in retail stores are DOCSIS-certified, which means that they will work on the network of any Internet service provider that supports DOCSIS. Most new cable modems come with an Ethernet port, a coaxial connector, and a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface. More expensive models may come with additional features, such as Voice over IP (VoIP) support or a wireless access point (WAP)." From chapter 2, The Cable Modem Showcase
