Vulnerability Development: Re: Hijack IP address on cable modems

[big bon <vulndev () HOTMAIL COM>]

in defense of @home

I wouldnt say the company as an entire is dumb your prob just spoke to a
tech person who was not up on the facts.  Also lets look at this.

the ip you are grabbing is not a static ip as it is in the dhcp range thus
you are grabbing fro dhcp.  You are setting a dhcp address to a static
address on your machine but not on the server


hmm maybe he was correct in that you can only grab from dhcp.
i wouldnt be so quick to call someone dumb
