Guide: Change serial number and MAC address

Recommended Posts

Hi Alligator,

 

this tool would be awesome easy to modify the vender file, but I couldn't get it to run.

 

Inspired by your topic.

The program opens, I select the vender file and then the message below pops up. To translate: security configuration of the computer doesn't allow the access of a source in another domain. (line 365, row 9) and the script stops.

 

Do you have any idea? how I can solve this?

I couldn't run it as administrator (at least I don't know how).

 

If you want to add the "Run as administrator" item to the

context menu for HTA files or scripts you can do that by hacking the

registry. Here is a reg script that does it for HTA files:

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htafile\shell\runas]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htafile\shell\runas\command]

@="C:\\Windows\\system32\\mshta.exe \"%1\" %*"

"IsolatedCommand"="C:\\Windows\\system32\\mshta.exe \"%1\" %*"

Hello Community,

 

The checksum for the MACs are calculated (with the formula). there is no Problem for me, but my main question:

how i can calculate the checksum for the serial number?

 

can anyone help me?

 

many grets

 

iceget

 

sure, adding all the ASCII (hexadecimal values) of the serial number string

 

http://www.asciitable.com

 

A = 0x41

B = 0x42

C = 0x43

0 = 0x30

1 = 0x31

....

 

the LSB of the sum is the checksum

 

e.g. the SN = "ABC0000001" <= 10 characters string

 

summation = 0x41 + 0x42 + 0x43 + 0x30 + 0x30 ...... + 0x31 = 0x217

 

checksum = LSB = 17

Hello

 

Sorry to have a noob question, i am under Proxmox and when i am connected to the Syno via winscp,

and i dont have any /volumeUSB1/usbshare

So i don't know where i can find vender file.

 

If someone can help me, it would be glad.

 

Thx

 

Batgod

 

Sorry but I never ever use Proxmox. I think volume name just as same or maybe named with different suffix number (eg. /volumeUSB2/ or /volumeUSB3/...)

 

Well, if you use proxmox, you probably don't mount the img as a usbkey but rather as an IDE drive and get your data drive as SATA drive.

I'll try to check this tomorrow as I also run proxmox kvm for testing xpenology.

Dear Community,

 

thanks for this great project. i have coded a new program (vender file patcher).

with this windows software you can patch the vender file within seconds.

created for DSM 4.2 (based on the viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1353).

 

you can download it from http://www.raving.at/.

 

many greets, iceget

 

Thank you!

 

And for convenience can make individual buttons "Rendomize" seriynika and for each MAC address?

it is a very useful handy utility, may I suggested that it can read the vender file content first at the 1st time of loading, or has a read button.

 

thanks and regards

Hi Alligator,

 

thanks for your tipps, but as I didn't have time the last days and iceget brought out his tool, I'll go his way. This tool works like a charm for me.

 

I couldn't run it as administrator (at least I don't know how).

 

If you want to add the "Run as administrator" item to the

context menu for HTA files or scripts you can do that by hacking the

registry. Here is a reg script that does it for HTA files:

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htafile\shell\runas]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htafile\shell\runas\command]

@="C:\\Windows\\system32\\mshta.exe \"%1\" %*"

"IsolatedCommand"="C:\\Windows\\system32\\mshta.exe \"%1\" %*"

 

 

But I have another problem where I would need help.

 

I'm running XPenology on VMWare VM (VMWare Workstation 10), but I couldn't find the vender file in WinSCP. It seems, that the Boot-HDD doesn't get mounted. I only see my volume 1 (which is the data-HDD). Does anybody have an idea ho wto access it?

 

Here some screenshots:

I tried to change the vender file of my image.

I am running DSM 4.3 on Proxmox

 

The strange thing is that xpenology doesn't seem to care what mac address is configured in the Proxmox VM settings.

Even if there is a mismatch it will show the original pre-configured mac address of my boot image in the ARP table.

When i change the vender file, my network activity of xpenology is completely gone.

 

I did that by mounting the boot image on xpenology and copied the vender file to my desktop (linux)

I changed the values with wxHexEditor and copied the file back to my xpenology boot image.

Then i did a reboot of the VM.

 

Is there anyone having the same problems with a virtual xpenology?
