Manufacturers agree to give all NICs a MAC address that begins with the assigned OUI. It is a hardware address, which means that it is stored in the firmware of the network card.Įvery network card manufacturer gets a universally unique 3-byte code called the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI). I do get it, though I probably did not explain it well enough.Ī Media Access Control (MAC) address is a 48-bit (6 bytes) address that is used for communication between two hosts in an Ethernet environment.
it is the IPTV platform's MAC (the stalker).Īll receivers will have their own MAC and each sets of digits all mean something.Īll receivers with a middlewre program will not only have their own unique MAC for the receiver but the middleware IPTV application will also have a separate MAC as well (that's the 79 MAC).Thanks for the info.
That program is what sees the MAC and that MAC is not the receivers MAC. The middlewere is not only on the receiver but also the server has a middleware solution program that works on their servers. You are not quite understanding it Shooty. I do not know much about how the connectivity on them methods that use the '78' as I actually have never went that route, believe it or not
but the last 6 were sure to be an original sequence so could be attached to the created '78' MAC and have the knowledge that you did not spoof another MAC. That receiver's MAC would start with the first 6 digits as a number of different digits other then 00:1a:79. His solution (and BIO was a computer/networking genius), his solution at the time for them '78' MACs was to use the last 6 digits of the receiver's own MAC (that statement from BIO is still posted here somewhere). Just an observation!BIO who was one of the original staff members when all this iptv started getting more popular, he had predicted back in 2014 that MAC spoofs would happen.
If you have to internally change the MAC# in a STB app, they should use 78, avoiding the problem of someone randomly making up a MAC, that will "eventually" get registered to a new STB. Whatever happened to the 00:1A:78 rule for STB Emulator apps (Stalker based), reserving 79 for the STB's with hard coded MAC's?
