[QUOTE="IMnobody, post: 533046, member: 293282"] I'll have to correct you on that, "MAC Checking" started, on Gemini V.4.30, with a "DOS" (Denial of Service) where "Blue Panel" access denial, was implemented, and, where MAC harvesting took place. On Gemini v4.31 the "head.ko file was changed (with Dreambox's help), the result was corruption of the units "boot loader", commonly refereed to as "Bricking The Unit". Resulting in the user needing to reload the boot loader by use of a J-tag cable to recover. Neither attack was pre-announced by Gemini, But, Gemini has now openly stated that their product "will only work on Real Dreambox units", This is the stance they've chosen, and so be it. There's plenty of other images available that clones may use safely. The "MAC Address Swap" works, but, I believe it's only a "Dynamic change", and the address will likely revert back to the "original address", with the next image change over. So, take care.
