/* HINT: Search archives @ http://www.indyramp.com/masq/ before posting! */ Hello all, I have been running a masqing linux in my home for over a year. I have some friends interested in the technology, too. One of them is having a cable modem provider, and it stays in the cable modem licence agreement that only ONE computer may use the cable network's services via one modem. Well lets assume that I can get the cable modem under linux there (who knows what for strange cable modems there are in Hungary ;), and I ignore this licence agreement, and masq a few other computers, is there an obvious way for the provider to detect that we are breaking the rules and having more computers behind the server? The only way I could think of trying to guess that there is some kind of masquerading or proxying is that I would check the higher ports >60000, and if there is lots of traffic, it can be masquerading. I think this could be eliminated if I changed the starting and ending ports in the ip_masq.c to lower values. What other things could a cable provider do to find out that I'm masqing? And what could I do to prevent that?
