All they are are Verisigns Root Server validating that the HFC MAC you have has its correct "born-at-birth" Verisign made certificates. in the old days, users could just "sniff" a network and grab some HFC MACs that were buzzing along between the cable modem and the CMTS..The problem was, when BPI +, and the "+" is critical here, was enforced, these HFC MAC's were asked to send their certificates which were made at the time the modem had its non-vol injected at the factory. When you sniff for MACs you dont get these specific certificates, thus when the CMTS asks for them, the HFC MAC will fail verification as the certs that are in the one you have do not match since you used a MAC you sniffed on the network...
Kapisch?
Hello ABMJR thank U very much for this great explanation ... So I have to find a way out and I am working on it ... Its my stupidity and I regret I made a sub(flashed haxor )without thinking about the certs and now I regret ... So I now have a sub without any certs
And self signed certs are of no use ..its illogical to think about existence of any cert editors or using a cert of different modem and then trying to change the values of the MAC it contains to the one of sub ..it would be encrypted by some algorithm ....
Damm
..I should have been more careful Half knowledge is always dangerous I do kapisch ..
I am working hard for alternatives ..so lets hope.....my sincere thanks again
