Preventing your MAC from being hijacked

#21
is the serial number only be numbers or is combine number and letters, getting serial information not valid using 13 numbers,

--

Ans: Serial number can be alphanumeric, and the recommended length is 13 characters. Some have found using numbers only does not work. - dara

Hi Guys,

Try this one. It made life easier for me to get access again on IPTV Stalker.
It work like charm for me.
If I can do it, you can do it.

Since everybody knows how to get to the settings of IPTV Stalker by clicking "Configure"
Click on "Send Serial Number"
Do not click on the "Custom Serial"
Just click on "OK"
Close IPTV

Go back to "Kodi" main page.
Not sure if we are still require to do this next step, but I still went on to do it co'z it might help.
Highlight "Program"
Click "Maintenance tool"
Click on "General Maintenance"
Click "Clear Cache"
When done click "Ok"
Then reboot your Android Box.
Go back to Kodi
Click on IPTV Stalker.

DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

This thread is on how to prevent hijackers in hijacking your MAC. These instructions will send serial numbers based on your MAC so anyone that has your MAC and enables just the send serial number can still use your MAC. You have to use the custom serial number and fill in the fields as in the OP to secure your MAC and prevent hijacking of your MAC.

I am deleting posts that do not follow the suggested approach as posted by Alucard. If you found another way, feel free to post it in another thread, as they do not prevent your MAC from being hijacked.

Does the Device # and serial #'s have to be the same? Do they need to contain letters and numbers? I have changed the MAC at least 10 times and I'm still getting an authorization failed

Token, leave blank.
Serial Number: Random Alphanumeric. Min 4 characters
Device ID 1: Random Alphanumeric. Min 4 characters
Device ID 2: Random Alphanumeric. Min 4 characters
Signature: Random Alphanumeric. Min 4 characters

I am using a windows pc and kodi 15.1 Git. I made up my own serial number of 13 figures, 5 lower case letters, and 8 random numbers, is this correct? I also have custom serial checked. What do I put in these blocks - Device ID 1 & 2, and the Signature.

thanks!

Your serial sounds fine. Alucard answered your other question in the prior post.

--------
Device ID 1: Random Alphanumeric. Min 4 characters
Device ID 2: Random Alphanumeric. Min 4 characters
Signature: Random Alphanumeric. Min 4 characters
---------

Thus, something like

ID 1: 8345C
ID 2: 4903B
Sig: yuck13

Here's a prototype...don't use exactly...make your own...but this is the idea...

Make sure IPTV Stalker and any PVR's are disabled. Use a fresh MAC and configure.

Serial: 1760631B40872
ID 1: 8345C
ID 2: 4903B
Sig: yuck1357

Im having issues configuring my IPTV Stalker. I verified my MAC, Serial #, Device ids' & signature multiple time, but I still getting the same error message when I try to run the IPTV Stalker Add on am getting the following is the error message "IPTV Stalker Authorization Failed". At this point IDK what I'm doing wrong.

BTW did a test enabling the Kodi Stalker Client (TVONLIVE),in there everything works well, I got all the video feed without any issues.

Well, if you are using the same mac between the TVOnline client, and IPTV Stalker, its probably not going to work. The server will retain the information sent over by the first client that connects with that MAC, so unless all that info is identical between TVOnline and IPTV Stalker, you will only connect with one, or neither of them.

If you want to use both IPTV Stalker and TVOnline, you do have to use different MACs... change it using the donation checker. You can retain the settings on IPTV Stalker if you wish if you switch over to TVOnline (which uses the built-in MAC). I suggest trying to use the last 6 digits for the MACs, using the 00:1A:79 prefix for the TVOnline, and 00:1A:78 for IPTV Stalker.

So once we made the

Serial:
ID 1:
ID 2:
Sig:

and submitted it.

We can't change it anymore with the Mac we are currently using ?
We have to use the same each time we use our Mac linked domation number for any device we want to use ?
Unless we use a different Mac to link to our donation number ?

Thanks

If you want to use the same MAC across devices, yes, you'd need to use the same serial, id's and sig on each device.

In terms of changing the serial, etc. associated with the MAC: You could (but I'm not sure why you'd want to), but in a round about fashion. You would change the MAC associated with the donation. This would wipe out all data associated with the old MAC. You could then change back to the old MAC, assuming no one had adopted it. You would then configure the MAC with a new serial etc.
