    Question Scientific Atlanta MAC + S/M

    I looking for a guy with Scientific-Atlanta WebSTAR DPX 110 modem.

    All I need is to PM me (better for privacy) the MAC address of the modem as well, as the S/N of the modem (they are found on the bottom sticky)

    Now you probably asking why And probably worry too, heh. Well, not to worry. Knowing this won't help me hack your computer, as these information is only useful on your local ISP HFC network, and I can't get there by other way that using the same ISP - remember, I live in Czech republic, so... You are safe. So the worry part we get covered

    Now the WHY. The why part is more entertaining. I aiming to simply make fun out of my ISP technicians (we know each others well, so, they will take it :evil: ) by showing them that I could make them believe that my Motorola is not Motorola anymore, it is a Atlanta and later Thompson
    (friend got Thompson modem, so I copy his information... )
    I simply want to shock them, how many "modems" I can own and swap them so quickly, hehe And yes, I know that the same MAC address can't be on the same site segment, but my friend is on other segment, so - no connection loss will happen even for him

    Pure fun project - and yep, this (MAC address and S/N) IS possible to change within firmware. I never tried it yet, but it looks like I can manage it - I can report success or failure later, if anyone interested

    PS. the MAC and S/N numbers aren't "any number you can think off" - there are valid Motorola prefixes for MAC:
    00:0E:5C
    00:0B:06
    00:08:0E
    00:20:40
    00:01:AF
    00:04:BD
    00:0C:E5
    00:0A:28
    00:E0:0C

    This well correspond with the SB 4200 of mine:

    Motorola SB4200
    ---------------
    S/N: xxx003232504731102010000
    MAC: 00:0B:06:50:xx:xx

    while my SB5100 has new one, yet the S/N following the rules:

    Motorola SB5100
    ---------------
    S/N: xxx103418406555502010000
    MAC: 00:11:1A:E4:xx:xx

    ...so, a little help out there?

    I talking here about modem, of course. Never heard of it? Relatively wide-spread brand in USA and around the globe. My ISP use only 10 Motorola modems (mine is 11-th one) yet about 1000+ Atlanta ones - they go with the name WebSTAR DPX 110 or 120...
