Constructing your own cable modem or burning a new ROM for an existing cable modem is too complicated for the common attacker. Being able to forge the MAC address of the cable modem also opens wide opportunities for so-called "theft of service", but it's hard enough so cable companies don't have to worry about it. (Of course, no cable modem allows you to update its MAC address via software, as per DOCSIS specs.) ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
