Superhub : Selling Superhub on Ebay extra stupid.

This person is selling a Superhub on Ebay and they helpfully posted a picture of the MAC address which one of my ex colleagues posted this link on Facebook and still works for the company in the relevant department, so will be reporting this device as it fully traceable back to the seller.

Not quite a Darwin award but quite stupid.

Not necessarily back to the seller, but at least to the customer who had it sent to them in the first place. The two may not be the same.

The seller could have been given it, got it from a house clearance or many other alternative sources if they were not the original customer.

For someone who wanted a wireless router for a home network setup, and wasn't worried about performance, would this not be a cheap option?

It can be lost all it wants, if the system does not allow it to be used then it does not take the brains of a arch bishop to realise its worthless, please lets not have another of you bloody rants about clones its getting BORING.

There are better things we could be debating or do you not read or watch the news ?

The superhub was cracked a while back I thought, to the point they had full root access and could change mac addresses and stuff.

$ md5 *.bin
MD5 (Bootloader.bin) = cd7508c75654cb0b89351997dbd569d6
MD5 (Dynamic.bin) = 18a8bfaf1f020100e2859dc876bc7965
MD5 (Image1.bin) = 4ea12f34807671a5e1e103362b1c8ea5
MD5 (Image2.bin) = c8c16d696654f4f11c83b2ad73dbdff7
MD5 (Perm.bin) = 1572d197ac4e0a7c33351f49d0fff837

you are right about performance

I can find much better routers on ebay than one of these and at least they will give a better signal than this .

And you think i believe you.

As for cost lets see. I wonder what the REAL cost of one of these routers is to VM, then how much to recover a router, clean and screen it, box it and deliver it out to the warehouse again. I wonder which is more ?

It will be deleted and will never go online and as being used as a router the is no Ethernet Wan port skills again useless.

One of the guys involved with the security side found it so looking for any other device has little or no interest to me and if you 're selling Virgin Media equipment then you are conning people out of good money.

Never happened and unlikely ever to happen.

We already know it can't go online in its current state. Are you saying it can't be used offline just as a switch/wireless network?

Don't know enough about how it all works but as it is possible to modify any of the software and options on the SH, such as the mac, then is it not possible for someone with physical access to another superhub to extract things like certificates and the extra security stuff and port it across to another?
