Cable Modem Hacking (Haxorware)

For educational purposes only. I do not condone nor promote illegal uses with this. Use it at your own risk and have fun.

I have already searched around and I'm the first one posting this here.

I recently payed a guy $250 dollars to come and install free internet and free cable. I didn't even know how he was going to do it but I was also curious. I saw him do the whole process while he was installing and configuring the modem. When he finished it was working perfectly. So I then began to research about this. This is where I had to go very deep into the internet to find information because there's either so little and there's too much spam in their forums. The rest is hidden or very hard to find.

You want a way to get free internet? Then look no more...

1. Either buy a pre-modded haxorware modem or modify it yourself (tutorial for this soon). I use a Motorola SB5101 here (30 mb maximum speed with this modem). Around $30 usd on ebay pre-modded

2. You need to find some certificates. "This certificates vary by isp's they will give you connection to the internet and they will also set your download and upload." These are the hardest to find, you will need to also clone the mac address of them, meaning that you will be cloning a modem that was previously legitly connected to the isp.

3. Once you get those certificates you then upload them into the modem, one by one. Then click on save and reboot.

4. After it reboots then go into addresses and click on copy from certificates which is next to HFC MAC. Then save and reboot.

5. After it reboots then you should have internet.

I have 2 complete certificates with their own mac addresses. One of them is a TWC USA 15mb down and 1mb up. The other one is TWC USA 20mb down and 2mb up. For now they will be in private (inbox only). If anyone else has some please share. I will be looking for some more myself.

You can also extract these certificates from a working modem with some program (part of the spammed/ hard to find topic).

Any suggestions, concerns, help or criticism please leave a comment below.

It isn't simple process as you say. In fact this is a very dangerous thing. I know a former telecom employee at comcast (my fellow friend) who had said; They can pinpoint your node location if there is complaint/warrant. But good thing they can not pinpoint your home if you disable protocols that spoke with their cable modem termination system.

Anyway I have no intention of scaring people but if you do this you must be careful and without clear understanding networking, protocols, docsis etc you have to educate yourself about it first or you probably do have a serious problem. Because In ISP contracts that you signed and did not read..these subjects they are in it and you agreed & signed it.

A good DEFCON Talk about the subject:

In the old times it was good shit but now there is a lot of countermeasures,

Yes I agree with you, but like I said, I have been reading through lots of stuff. I have also done some testing with various cloned modems being set up in various houses. And they all seem to be online without any problems, unless if there's an outage with twc in the area. And about the location thing, haxorware actually has the settings for that. And most of those settings are already set by default as soon as you load the firmware. But the rest really depends on your isp. Some will fine you if they found out and other isps will just simply disconnect you. This is the reason on why I started this topic with "for educational purposes only".

By the way, that guy I payed works at time warner cable, so he knows a lot about this, I even saw that he had a lot of certs in his laptop. The only cert i got from him was the 15mb down and 1 up. I even offered him money for those certs, he simply said no haha.
