Tmobile hotspot info

[blackglasspirate]

So, I was sitting in starbucks and realized that I couldn't see any other hosts on the lan, no ping replies from anything. So I turned on another laptop so I could test things out on it, without touching anyone else's computer.

I tried different types of hping configurations and nmap scans against my other computer and nothing seemed to get any sort of response. The only way I could see the other computer was firing up kismet and looking at the clients.

Does anyone have any idea on how to get around this and what they are doing to keep hosts from seeing each other? I just want to know how it's all set up.
I have no intention to do anything illegal, I'm just curious.

Thanks.

I think the nearest you are going to get to an answer, because of the obvious, is this.

The reason is a setting called client isolation.

And that is where I will leave it.

Nice link.

Sums it up very simply and clearly.

Yeah, thanks for the link.

I wonder if there's any way around it.
I just flashed my router with DD-wrt, which has that feature on it, so I may be able to fool around with it a bit.

Why would you want to get around it? Since getting around it in a TMobile hotspot would be illegal.

It is entirely possible to accomplish that which you wish here. However, I do not believe that programs currently available have the capability to do it easily.

I have produced a Flash Video of very recent work in this area which details success in the direct communication between one station and another without association or authentication with the Wireless Access Point. The video is currently being peer reviewed by colleagues in the USA and the UK. It utilises a program which I wrote named 'Canopy' using python and this is being extended and tested.

I am also writing a paper to disclose this work which will be available for review shortly.

thats awesome. i was just getting ready to read up on how to do that. if i read correctly you mean your program can connect to another laptop through mac address? and without using ad-hoc? awesome work.

Well from one Seattleite to another, I would be very interested to see your work... (especially since it uses python). I'm going to focus my security studies here in the future with python, since it f*****g rocks!
