Will the mac stay changed when you update the gemini image?

[Devilfish]

I have never tested but I would have thought that it would stay the same even after a reflash.

Hi have a read here this might be helpfull

Ok, managed to find out how the attack started, they traced MAC address in boxes .... this includes eagle box / dvb /dm500 china/extremebox etc..... and the boxes have similar mac address all start with 00:12:25:xx:xx:xx this mac address is for motorola company and genuine Dreambox mac address is 00:09:34:xx:xx:xx owned by dreamultimedia, so with this information I will pass on you will be able to convert your mac address to original dreamultimedia mac address by doing the following information

Create init File with another mack ...using NOTEPAD, then copy this text inside notepad file

ifconfig eth0 down ; ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:48:21:0A:33:26 ; ifconfig eth0 up

And save this file with name in .init ...then with program DCC 2.94 using ftp mode save this init file on dreambox var/etc folder
then login again to dreambox in telnet mode and click Format option, then write this:

ifconfig eth0 down ; ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:09:34:xx:xx:xx ; ifconfig eth0 up

This xx xx xx you can put something else....... after doing this click enter.......... and then for testing on new mac address just type ifconfig........

To check if your mac address box is genuine just login to box via telnet and type cat /proc/bus/dreambox

This should tell you information about box....

If mac starts with 00:12:25 then box is fake dream
If mac starts with 00:09:34 then box is genuine dream

If eagle star mac with 00:12:25 it means is still genuine eagle box and ok but not recognised at genuine by dreambox..... in fact they are 2 diferent models not related but compatible with same images.

Thanks for help with altering MAC address. I had no idea that I purchased a clone. It has all the right features and even the box and remote appear the same as original. :cheer:

[satman]

Apparantly, not tested by myself, but from some guys on cli this change mac address in bootloader stage which is only protected by kernel blocking the /mtd part from being overwritten, This potentially could change your mac permanatly and let you flash any image, but of course try at your own risk..:top:

May be try check with CLONE BOMB

Does this work with the DM600s Clones as well?

[timiboy]

Hmm,

before coming here I did not even know there are clone boxes! NOw I see there are even tools to enable them to work flawlessly to run any images. I will give it a try since I bought a DM500S of eBay and it turned out to be a clone :(

hi guys! is this quote correct >
If mac starts with 00:12:25 then box is fake dream
If mac starts with 00:09:34 then box is genuine dream.I purchased a dreambox 500s and the mac starts with 00:09:34. and i'd like to find out if it is a clone without opening the box.

yes and no.. when the first clones rolled out the MAC's were 00:12:25....
the 'vely crever' chinese soon cottoned onto this and ensured MAC's became 00:09:34..

Simply.. If you have bought a 'new' Dreambox 500S/C/T in the last 18 months its a clone.. Dream stopped making them 2 years ago..

i wasn't 100% sure,so i opened it up to make sure but it is a clone! it is different on the inside than a couple of pics I have seen but it is a clone.Does that mean I will need to get a proper MAC address for it guys?I took a couple of pics of it opened up if anyone wants to have a goosey?

No.. your clone is fine.. just AVIOD any Gemini image higher than 4.2..

Check the download area.. There are loads of D500 images

[kokar]

Hi friends

Can somebody tell me why should I change the MAC?
Will the DB500s work better if I change the MAC?

Best regards

Wonder how long until Dream Media come up with another scheme to detect the clones (especially DM800 - 8000) And thanks for the upload btw.
