#gPWN: #Wiretapping #Fiber #ISP Deployments From the Comfort of Your Home
source: gpwn.io
GPON is the fiber-to-home protocol that carries traffic for hundreds of millions of subscribers worldwide (and climbing). It operates on a threat model that makes several assumptions that break in the real world.
We'll chat about how it's possible to become a modern day fiber optic voyeur with hardware that costs about $100 and watch your neighbor's DNS, SIP calls and most-
-excitingly, GTP-tunneled 4G/5G traffic from the cellular towers that you share a fiber line with.

FYI: Hughes files Chapter 11 as Starlink cuts its subscribers to 641,000: Satellite ISP owed $1.5bn on notes that matured August 1 with $61.2m cash left. Rural households and in-store network contracts now ride on an enterprise pivot. https://ppc.land/hughes-files-chapter-11-as-starlink-cuts-its-subscribers-to-641-000/ #Hughes #Starlink #Chapter11 #SatelliteInternet #ISP

Today, I discovered by accident that my #ISP that is exclusively active in #Germany doesn't have a direct peering link to #DTAG. While #BGPTools aggregation graph can be trusted, I tracerouted a few connections to some known DTAG services. My packets always route over #Zayo.
For me, it was a surprise to discover that my ISP with over 300
/24IPv4 networks, doesn't have a direct peering agreement with the largest German network. -

More random 1990s ephemera. Mindspring was my first ISP. I appreciated their code of ethics a lot. Then they were bought by Earthlink and all that went right out the window.

In their defense, Charter sent me a new modem shortly before they became Spectrum. Despite many frustrating hours stuck talking with idiots in tech support, it never worked. Not even once. They were going to send me a box to return it, since they closed all their local offices. that never happened either. It sat unused in a closet. The old modem continued to work well enough for my purposes.

I've been with Spectrum (formerly Charter) internet for decades, and it has ALWAYS been horrible. They "upgraded" our town's internet hookup over the weekend ("Fiber Powered" or "Fiber Flavored" or some marketing BS. Local phone and internet were out for more than a day off and on, and now my modem won't stay connected and needs frequent resets. The modem is ANCIENT, but it's the one provided...

The internet monopolist in our area just raised the price from US$90 to US$100. An 11% price increase without any notice because "fuck you, we can, customer".
This is for a meager 500 down/20 up connection; internet only, nothing else. One hundred bloody bucks.
But yeah, "I'd rather have a private plan", capitalism, free markets, murrica, yada-yada... tough luck when there's no competition.

Inspired by Proton's post, I decided to get a new router instead of using just my modem/router combo. The primary driver was that while my #cable modem's modem functionality is fine for my service, the features on the router/wifi side were lacking, so it's not like I haven't been thinking about this for a while. The idea that my #ISP could be using my router's wifi antennas to spy on me was what got me going.
Routers aren't that expensive. I got my Cudy for just $40. It did take a few hours to get switched over, mainly because I like to go through every setting before I consider the installation complete.
Basically the steps are to go through the modem/router's UI and copy down anything you want to carry forward. Then you switch it to bridge mode, swap in the new router, and reboot the lot. Then it's just going through the router's UI to set everything up.
There were lots of improvements. The big one was getting #WiFi7 and #WPA3, which has Perfect Forward Secrecy. That means that even your encrypted data can only be decrypted for a certain time before it becomes worthless. This is important when you realize that in the near future with quantum computing and such, everyone's encrypted data captured now will be trivial to crack.
Another big improvement was the ability to force everyone to use DNS-over-HTTPS (#DoH). Not using DoH means your ISP can see every domain that you visit or even think about visiting. I went with Quad9, which is a Swiss DNS host, which focuses on privacy (duh, it's Swiss).
The third big improvement was #mesh support. I was able to connect it with my access point via CAT7/8 cables and a switch for backbone. So now as I walk around the house, my devices move between the two access points.
Don't forget to turn off #TR069 or your ISP will still have control over your router. I'm still working on how to get WiFi into my backyard.

I was in the middle of buying fire-sale items (stocks in the red) when—wham—the internet went out. Had to quickly tether my phone to check the status of my trades.

Called my ISP to remove CGNAT and they said „no problem we will call you tomorrow to update you“. If I had known earlier that it would be that easy I would have done that in the first place and wouldn’t have bothered with IPv6. Well at least I learned a bit about IPv6.

Your ISP Is Watching, and Your Router Is Its Eyes, even detecting your person and your location in your home and office, coming now or very soon. #surveillance #router #isp

I'm completely done with Eir now, I think. First it took them over a week to get a broken connection fixed.
Now they have a new "joke": they send their TR-69 (or whatever they are using) almost every day during working hours and the ISP-issues router reboots, often when I'm having a call.
(And I'm using that ISP-issues router because they effectively require it and don't support bringing your own device).
And that's a f-cking business subscription!
