hacking BSNL internet connection

Well, the username password are binded alright, buts its really easy to know the customer account no., atleast for mtnl.You just take ip address of the user, login into the router using the ip address of the user, see the page with username password and check the html source code and there you have it, the CA no. of the user along with its phone number.You can't use the username password to surf the internet but you can do shenanigans with it, say change tariff plan etc.
 
Your connection is bound to your modem's MAC ID. ie, if someone use your log in credentials, it will show their modem's MAC ID and you can prove it easily.

BSNL, MTNL, Airtel all have port binding enabled for a majority of of users, but its not Modem MAC-id, if it was then u wouldnt be able to replace ur modem and use a new one if the old one went bad.
 
If caught, you will have to pay a good amount. May be much more than you have used. If th neighbour complained of huge bills, they will check the MAC ID of the connection and will find that it is from your modem. It will be considered as hacking and you will have to pay dearly. If they forwarded it to police, they may charge your for hacking. From what you posted, you have already given your MAC ID records in concurrence with your connection.
 
sry if this thread is too old, but i just came here to confirm:THIS PORT BINDING STUFF IS BULLSHIT. Dont believe? I was also told by the exchange operator that i dont really need to change my password, as it is "port binded".Today, i found a new unsecured wifi network in my building, so most probably it is a new installation in some home. Of course i connected to router page with "admin" "admin" login, and the page opened up!! a confirmed NOOB lol. i went to his pppoe setup, clicked edit, and copied his username. most bsnl passwords are "password" (even mine), so i just put those login stuff on my router, and it just CONNECTED FINE. AND im getting 2MBPS speed, instead of the crappy 512kbps limit of my 750 plan. i guess that wifi user has 250 plan? im typing this using his account and planning to download some really big blu ray quality movies at 2mbps :)dont u believe what the bsnl ppl say.
 
Didn't know someone could stoop to such low heights, most connections have port binding (I've tested it here), maybe you just got lucky. And seriously if you do download blu ray rips using his account, ever thought of the trouble it could cause the other person.
 
i do not know abt bsnl but on mtnl even when u do that the bill will still be on ur line.in any case it will take them less than a min to figure out its u. if they get a complaint all they have to do is match the mac id of the router with the person to whom it is issued.
 
and you're planning to download BRrips with 2mbps connection :/

Ask us less fortunate souls, will you? :P
