How to sniff more 20MB MACS? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

BL4K3Y · 28-05-09, 02:00 PM

Can somebody please tell me how I can sniff more 20MB MACS using DHCP Force? I am scanning now and out of over 800 MACS, it has only found one with a 20MB config

.

Thanks.

Sniff more..........

Sorry mate, but that's all you can really do!

Try scanning using a 20Meg Mac.

Ok mate, thanks.

you dont need a 20 meg mac address just get a working mac ie could be 2 meg if its works just change the config file to the 20 meg (cm-20480-768)

blakey, you can do the autoserving i have discussed. it works over your way.

can you lock onto 298750000?

It makes no difference what MAC you are on when you are sniffing, as you can easily sniff with a MAC that has a unreg.cm config.

A lot of areas are now moving 20Meg to different channels - the best way to see other 20Meg modems is to use a 20Meg Mac to sniff them.

My area, for instance (TW), you will see absolutely no 20Meg meg modems using a 2Meg or 10Meg Mac. Using a 20Meg Mac you'll get 5 or 6 an hour (long DHCP lease times of 72 hours so you dont see them too often)

Autoserving isn't really a good idea for a variety of reasons, not least being that its very visible. Your far better off sticking with a real clone running an unforced config.

Sorry mate but that is bad information.

I've tested it, and it is not as you say. DHCP Sniffer hears all the dhcp requests regardless of what MAC you are using to sniff with.
