What people are saying about Hacking the Cable Modem
"No Starch Press is a publisher with a penchant for finding geeky niches that other
publishers won't touch, and DerEngel's Hacking the Cable Modem is a fine case in
point." --Linux Journal, October 2006

In the beginning there was dial-up, and it was slow; then ame 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, you'll 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
* what uncapping is and how it makes cable modems upload and download faster

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 unreleased cable modem hacks.
