Help with sniffing for mac address! - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

hi, does anyone know what im meant to be looking for when sniffing for a mac address using DHCP Force? Do i need to find a mac which also has the config file that matches the speed i want, or will any working mac do?
Also when you save a file containing the mac addresses youve just found, does anyone know where the file is saved to cos i cant find it.
Cheers !

i'm unsure about config forcing for diff speeds but i do know that once you dump to a file it will be in the same folder as 'force' and called 'configs'

Hi, thanks for that m8 but ive looked and cant find any file named Configs anywhere on the PC. Even searched for new files recently created, nothing!

i extracted to a folder on the desktop, ran the app from there and then when i dumped to file the file was in the folder on the desktop.

Hi, i must be using the wrong file or something because it doesnt happen that way here!
Any chance you could send me a link to where you downloaded the file from !
Cheers

OK ive just found a different version of the software and have been able to put it in a file on the desktop. Now when i click dump info to file, it creates an empty folder called Configs ?

sorry if i'm asking a stupid question but....... you have sniffed some macs before you press dump to file as it only dumps the collected macs.....

Sorry if thats just too obvious :-)
i'm not sure if we're allowed to post links but if you goggle dhcp force download - you'll be able to download a copy there.

Hope this helps

Was a bit obvious really !
No i did that in the first place thats how i got the file.
Ive tried 3 different files now. Guess i will have to try a different mac sniffer!

taximonkey · 16-11-08, 12:56 PM

No router, no firewall, its found loads of macs but when i click on dump to file it creates an empty file called config !
