In the beginning there was dial-up, and it was slow; then came broadband in
the form of cable, which redefined how we access the internet, share
information, and communicate with each other online. Hacking the Cable Modem
goes inside the device that makes Internet via cable possible and, along the
way, reveals secrets of many popular cable modems, including products from
Motorola, RCA, WebSTAR, D-Link and more.

Inside Hacking The Cable Modem, you¹ll learn:
€ the history of cable modem hacking
€ how a cable modem works
€ the importance of firmware (including multiple ways to install new
firmware)
€ how to unblock network ports and unlock hidden features
€ how to hack and modify your cable modem

Written for people at all skill levels, the book features step-by-step
tutorials with easy to follow diagrams, source code examples, hardware
schematics, links to software (exclusive to this book!), and previously
