Some interesting stuff here but...
Acting on it might get you in trouble. If you live in a small town like I do, the publicity of getting embarrassed in the local newspaper is not worth it. The network operations center can see the bandwidth consumption in an instant.

must be good
This book must be good since the author was just arrested for alleged selling hacked modems.

Good Stuff
First of all I want to object to the comment titled "How to be a Theif"

ThisEarlier comment suggests the book should be banned, and it will get you arrested if you follow it's instructions. The truth is in most cases, there is little cost benefit to go after everyone that bends the rules as long as they are not causing a service disruption or running up too much in tarrifs (which don't exist too much these days) Of course in come cases in America and Australia a few people will get sued as a token gesture to scare the masses into submission]. It also varies on your ISP. Some ISP's (as detailed in the book) has deployed various forms of countermeasures. But on HFC networks you can almost get away with murder if you do Mac Cloning.


I've worked in IT 12 years. I'm have a very analytical mind and I love to understand how things work. Is it a crime to be curious? I thought in America book burning and witch hunting finished a long time ago, and since then there has been a few constitutional amendments and a bill of rights. The latter of which not even other democracy's like Australia has.

Maybe he is akin the same guy that wanted to put Phill Zimmerman in jail for allowing everyone to have secure private communications with the advent of PGP. Oh that was published in a book too. And PGP was classified as export restricted military technology at the time. It was declared a lawful act of publishing by the courts. In other words, just on the legal points he has no case to stop anyone reading this, or buying this book.

Right now America and my home country (Australia) lag behind the rest of the world because inferior network infrastructure is being overcharged by telco's raking in huge profits for the better off stock owners.

The customers in Australia for example under Optus get every form of capping there is (snmp metering, rate limiting, filters, strobes for services, etc) and then traffic shaping and off-site network accounting as a backup - because this book was too effective. That's right Optus had to role out more expensive switching hardware to regain control because people didn't like having equipment they own being rate limited, and remotely configured.

Right now I'm in Korea where FTTH (Fibre to the Home) costs only $30 USD a month on a contract (100mbit each way). In Australia they are still mulling over getting FTTN (node street - then VDSL or Docsis 3.0 or slower broadband variants) in the many years to come. Korea's has had it for as long as I can remember.

Do you really think with so much bandwidth on Korea's network they will mind if an artful network Engineer helps get a P2P video conferencing network platform of the ground in his home lab with his 10mbit uplink using a Motorola SB4100 someone threw in the trash it was so old?

My project will in turn allow other users to leverage the nations' network infrastructure for on-line personal development, i.e. education. Then more Asian's can take US customer service roles with impeccable English. That's a good payback for their investment.Damn right! They paid for the network and they have so much capacity in reserve it's not funny. No wonder Korea is already submitting more patents to the US Patent office than Americans. Don't worry, I'll try and recruit American's to teach them too. But unfortunately American's will have to pay about 5 times what the Korean's do to get the same bandwidth, and that fibre connection is limited to only a few zip codes.

So how unethical is someone uncapping in my case going to be? The most I could get is 10mbit U/L, and 30 mbit if in invested in a BlackCat'ed SB5100 cable modem, when everyone else is buying 100mbit for $30 a month.

Then again the poster above thinks your stealing? I'd say the thief's are the cable companies back in the US and Australia. How much government grants did Optus (now foreign owned by Singtel - SG Govt) take in Government grants to roll out their fibre and support AARNET (Australian Academic Research Network), yet the QoS their customers get are a lot to be desired. I just got a customer a $1500 refund from the TIO (Telco Ombudsman) on their Voice over DSL offering. So my prior comments on their other products and services have weight backed up by determination by a government regulator.

If you google it you'll find the posts on whirlpool. Back then there was was a bunch of Telcho phoney's challenging me. But in the end I got the data to prove my case 100%, and won in the tribunal. This is no different.

Get used to freedom of speech ;) It's not outlawed last time I checked.

P.S. I read the great book. Only disappointment, not enough emphasis on alternatives for the Unix users, but hey they usually know what to do anyway ;) It's less of a walk through book as you would expect, and focuses a bit on the theory and his history of experimentation. Next thereare the avenues that can be employed to get more from your cable modem, and of course the risks involved. In order words this book will get the ball rolling, educate you and make you ready to carefully make any changes you need TO YOUR OWN EQUIPMENT ;) Merely gaining access to your own equipment is not a crime, however if you configure it to provide you a higher class BE CAREFUL. Remember they have to unplug ever different node in the street to find where you are ;)

After buying this book I'm confident I can get a speed increase I need. Where I am staying because I'm a foreigner I'm not entitled through conventional means to get fastest internet, unless someone gets it in their name for me.

Instructional Manual more than anything
This is a clear instruction manual on different kinds of modems. It is really good- and really clear - easy to follow, but doesn't go to much into any in depth topics. My friends all get really excited to borrow the book though! So if you buy it - you may have a lot of people borrowing!

Not a bad book, but don't try this at home!
I think it's well written, informative, and a great resource if you want to hack into your modem.

But...

1) You will get caught if you uncap your modem.The companies that provide cable modem service can trace unchecked bandwidth, and they'll ban you for life from their service.Uncapping will backfire on you.This has been in the news a lot lately, with stories of people getting caught doing this.It hardly seems worth it to me.
2) There is really no other reason (besides uncapping it) to hack your modem unless you just like tinkering with electronics.If that's what you're after, get the book.For most of us, we wanted to get faster speed, but since that's going to get your busted really quick, why waste your time?
3) Doesn't cover all modems, esp the newer ones (that's to be expected), so be cautious since the hacking methods may not transfer to a newer model (like mine). ... Read more

Product Description
Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) is the name for a long list of innovative technical systems for television, radio and data broadcasting. In the world of consumer electronics the DVB systems are the most important developments worldwide. Services based on the DVB systems are in operation in many parts of the world. Even in the USA DVB systems are in operation.

FROM THE REVIEWS:

IMAGE TECHNOLOGY:"Dr. Reimers has been described as the Father of the DVB...and no one is better qualified to write about [its] developments... A real strength of this book is that in every case it not only provides the detailed technical information about the part of the system that is under consideration, but it also explains the background requirements that the engineers were striving to satisfy, and goes on to explain why the various technical decisions were arrived at. Having worked your way carefully through the chapter on source coding of video signals, for example, you begin to understand what the original difficulties were, what the various options were, and why the particular solutions were chosen ... As well as satisfying its main aims, DIGITAL VIDEO BROADCASTING is an excellent reference book which covers most aspects of digital television engineering, and the author has helpfully gathered together in one place the key technical facts that would otherwise require you to have access to a dozen other books. Whether you are searching for information on digital coding systems, on compression, JPEG, the differences between MPEG1 and MPEG2, or whether you need to know how several different types of signals can be multiplexed together, or what the effects of using different error correction coding parameters will be, the information is there in the book. Equally importantly, you can actually find what you are looking for, because the index has been compiled with care. There is an extensive and useful bibliography which will be helpful for those readers who might want to know more about particular topics, and a comprehensive list of acronyms and abbreviations relating to digital broadcasting ... If you want a technical book to explain about digital broadcasting - this is certainly the one to buy." ... Read more

electrical equivalent of book
this is a very good network cabling book, but i thought it had one of the author's emails. i wanted to ask if there was a book he recommended for electrical wiring.

Spartan Systems Inc. ( Low voltage contractor )
This book is good for beginners, Connector and cable identification is easy with the color insert. My installers each have a copy, keep it for reference. [...]

Book is documentation, not a "How to"
I would not recommend this book.It covers some individual cabling components, but it does not have a coherent review chapter that explains "How" to run cable through a building. It does not cover different situations that might arise in running cable and doesn't have tips on things like, avoiding electric cables and plumbing, how to ensure you have enough cable for the job, etc.Again, it documents individual components, but it does not cover much of "How" to run cable.

The book does have pointers spread throughout the book, such as dropping a metal bead chain down a stud cavity, then inserting a magnet into the outlet box hole to retrieve the bead chain.After that, you can attach a pull string to run the cat5 cable.However, this book seems very disorganized.It sprinkles tips throughout unrelated chapters.It repeats concepts frequently in different chapters, and sometimes the repeated topics have discrepancies.For example, one chapter mentions patch cables should not exceed 10 feet, and a different chapter says patch cables should not exceed 15 feet.

I would NOT recommend this book if you're wanting to learn "How" to run cable.I would also not recommend this book for anyone wanting to run cable in residential buildings.This book covers commercial buildings almost exclusively.

The definitive guide
"Cabling: The Complete Guide to Network Wiring" is the definitive guide to all of your commercial and residential cabling needs.

A Great Book for the IT Manager
In the IT world, it is easy to find computer books on various subjects such as Windows, but just try and find a good book on Network Cabling!Here is the book I have been looking for!Now I don't have to call a cabling contractor every time I have a simple question about how to do something.

This book goes into several areas that most computer books don't even address.Do you want to know more about Punchdown Blocks?This book addresses the subject.Do you want to know about Cable Testing?This book discusses NEXT, FEXT, and other common cable test measurements.

If you do any of your own cabling or you want to be more involved with designing your own network layout, I suggest you get this book.It will explain a lot of things that you will never learn about in most computer related classes. ... Read more

Helped some, not updated for my old Windows XP
Maybe because I had a copy of an earlier version, I was expecting the new edition to be more helpful.Some of the tips that should have been specific to my Windows XP, did not seem to be exactly correct.In other words, some things that I wanted to fix with the tips that this book promised didn't work.Maybe it was me, but I was a little disappointed.Some things did work and were probably worth the cost of the book.

SAVE YOUR MONEY
This book is so outdated as to be useless. It should be removed from sale. Written in 2002 and an alleged second edition in 2005, the latest Windows information included deals with XP service pack 2. You'll also find information on HOT topics like "EUDORA" etc. I probably would have found this useful, LIKE 8 YEARS AGO!!!

PC Annoyances
It is good for Windows Systems thru XP but was written before Vista and is no good for thatPC Annoyances, Second Edition

Worth the money
I was so impressed by this book when I checked it out from the library I realized I had to have a copy of my own for those times when problems crop up that drive me toward the deep end. This book does what it claims. Though it won't answer all of your problems (what book would), it's easy to understand and can provide simple solutions to what seem like complex problems. It also gives the reader various references and free helpful programs on-line. I highly recommend it.

Not a technical manual
OK for the nontechnical XP users. Most of these hints have been published elsewhere but it is a nice collection. ... Read more
