Hybrid Networks Cuts
Its MMDS Signal (March 29, 2002)
http://www.broadbandweek.com/newsdirect/0203/direct020329.htm#2
The San Jose, Calif.-based fixed broadband wireless systems provider
announced today it is folding up after failing to find a buyout partner. It
will cut about 33 its remaining 41 employees as it closes out accounts.
Hybrid Networks offered systems for two-way high-speed data and voice
services using fixed wireless technologies. But MMDS technology went into an
economic tailspin in 2001, particularly after Sprint Corp. - which owned
30 percent of Hybrid - announced it was shelving its broadband fixed
wireless plans. Hybrid tried to refocus its attention on the international
marketplace, but that market did not provide any economic shelter.

Hybrid to Integrate Conexant's Modems and ICs Into Wireless System
Hybrid Networks announced that it plans to integrate
Conexant's
InfoSurge single chip broadband modem ICs into the wireless broadband
routers that are a part of its two way fixed broadband wireless
access system. The routers convert PC data into signals that can be
transmitted over radio frequencies, and with the new modems and ICs,
Hybrid's solution is expected to support non-line-of-sight connectivity and
reduced multipath interference. The vendor expects the integrated
solution to be available early next year.

working together to deploy cable modem systems in Asia-Pacific, Europe, and
the United States.
Hybrid Networks
pioneered the asymmetric network architecture used in HAS 2000 and hold
patents on technology for upstream data transmission over the telephone
system. Asymmetric architecture allows cable operators who have not yet
installed two-way data links immediate market entry using telephone for
upstream data transmission from the user to the cable headend.
Hybrid is backed by
venture capital investments from Sequoia Capital, Accel Partners, OSCCO
Ventures, Lauder Partners, and AT&T Ventures. The company is
participating in a wide variety of technical and market trials in North
America and internationally, including large trials with National
Digital Networks, Comcast and Viacom Cable. For more

San Jose, Calif.-based
Hybrid builds network systems used for high-speed Internet access via
broadband. The $ 2.5 million market cap company has more than $ 5 million in
long-term debt due April 30. Also, the wee company saw several executives
jump ship recently, including Hybrid Chief Financial Officer Scott
McDonald.
Hybrid CEO Michael
Greenbaum said the company has been exploring strategic alternatives for
"quite some time," but he did not want to specify how long, for fear of
scaring away potential buyers.
For the fourth quarter,
Hybrid lost nearly $ 350,000 on revenue of $ 7.6 million, compared with a
year-earlier loss of $ 5.6 million on revenue of $ 13 million.
Fixed wireless' Hybrid
faces foggy future (January 18, 2002)

Its equipment has been
deployed in 77 markets worldwide. The company's revenue grew from $13
million in 1999 to $22.8 million in 2000. The company expects to earn
slightly more than that when it unveils its 2001 results sometime in
February.
Hybrid has survived
other challenges. The company's stock was delisted from the Nasdaq
exchange for much of 1998-2000 due to financial reporting questions from
regulators and the company has faced some shareholder lawsuits. Mr.
Greenbaum says that today Hybrid's "lawsuit and regulatory slate are clean."

Security Flaw: (October
08, 1999)
http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/vulninfo/vuln.aspx?id=2048
The Hybrid cable modem
may allow an attacker to anonymously reconfigure the modem. The attacker
exploits a design flaw in the HSMP configuration protocol. There is
no authentication requirement when making configuration requests through the
HSMP protocol. The UDP-based protocol is easily spoofed which allows
an attacker to easily make configuration changes anonymously.
Advisories #012: Hybrid
Network's Cable Modems (Fri, 8 Oct 1999)
http://archive.cert.uni-stuttgart.de/archive/bugtraq/1999/10/msg00122.html
Other cable ISPs, such as ones which I have worked for in the past, brought the problem to Hybrid's attention almost TWO YEARS ago.
Hybrid gear is heavily insecure both in the field (their modems) and in the
headend (their headend hardware is EXTREMELY insecure and susceptible to hacks, using r* commands all over the place to communicate back and forth among the boxen).
There are exploit possibilities with Hybrid gear which allow you to reprogram your UUID in your modem to be the same as someone else's. If you contact the cable provider and social engineer them into deactivating and reactivating the
UUID (a common solution employed for solving connectivity issues with Hybrid gear), then your modem will accept the NOS download as well as all of the victim's configuration settings, allowing the altered modem to completely impersonate the victim's modem. At that point, they will be completely identical.
As I said, this was brought to their attention two years ago, give or take, and Hybrid claimed that such a scenario "would never happen". They made no effort to secure the modems, and a minimal effort to secure the boxes. (Attempts to convert the r* commands to at least use s* commands failed miserably, and Hybrid insisted that 'using r* was absolutely necessary for their architecture').
Cable Modem Technology: An Emerging Giant For Local Loop Access (1998)

Understanding Cable Internet, part 2 (February 18, 1994)
http://oldeee.see.ed.ac.uk/online/internaut/internaut-01/cable2.html
Cable Internet requires
a specialized settop box, which Hybrid calls a "Remote Link Adapter."
This is basically a router, but it is much easier to set up than the average
router, since all you have to do is plug the cable hookup and the modem
cable into one end, and connect your Ethernet Thin-net cable to the
other end. You also have connect the modem cable to your modem, and plug it
into a phone line, but you won't need to figure out the modem
initialization string, since Hybrid can download this into the Remote
Link Adapter remotely. Downloading this string into your adapter, as
well as the rest of the adapter configuration, is accomplished without any
intervention on your part, using a cable channel reserved for this
purpose. It is also possible for the service provider to diagnose
problems remotely; about the only time you would have to bring the
adapter in for service is if it was not tuned correctly. Of course, you will
still have to setup your TCP/IP software, and your local area network, and
perhaps a BBS add-in package such as BBSnet, and as we all know, this is not
always a piece of cake.
Hybrid's Remote Link
Adapter utilizes DES encryption.
Hybrid Networks charges
approximately $100/month for their IN channel service, which includes a
dedicated dialin port for the modem. The $100/month price applies only to
users requiring a single IP address, although Hybrid also offers connections
for networks, so that you can hook up an office or an entire laboratory at a
school. In addition to the monthly fee, you will also need to purchase a
Remote Link Adapter (RLA), which costs $1495. The model 100 RLA connects to
your computer via an Ethernet port, and there is also a model 200,
which plugs into an S-Bus slot on a Sun workstation.
For further information

Hybrid Networks, Inc.: An Independent Assessment (1993)
http://cookreport.com/hybrid.shtml
Hybrid Network HAS PoP via Cupertino Cable channel 63. When you tune a TV to that channel you see
the same kind of "snow" as the digital audio channels that are transmitted
on some cable channels. A Motorola V.FAST modem was used for the return channel, so that is a bit of cheating if you expect to use a more
ubiquitous V.32bis modem.
Is Hybrid Networks a hardware
manufacturer? An Internet service provider? An information service bureau?
Or some mix of all of the above? Their current thoughts are to install and
run the Hybrid Access System PoPs in most regions of the country. They will
deliver the high bandwidth Cable TV leg and work with existing Internet
providers who will supply the return channels. Hybrid Networks is also
considering running a service bureau at their PoPs where information
providers can co-locate servers to offer value added Internet services and
content.
Instead, Hybrid
Networks should sell turnkey HAS PoP packages to Cable TV systems and
Internet Providers who will handle the local setup, sales, maintenance and
support. Hybrid Networks should also focus on manufacturing the RLAs and
distributing them through Internet Providers and retail outlets. They should
license the technology to other manufacturers so that they do not get stuck
in a proprietary ghetto.
HAS Service

(Hybrid) will announce the immediate availability of the Hybrid Access
System (HAS) at the Interop trade show being held August 25-27 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA. Using a cable feed provided by San
Francisco's Viacom Cable, Hybrid will be demonstrating the HAS, the first
affordable networking system capable of delivering a broad range of high
speed services to homes, offices, or schools using the existing
communications infrastructure.
Working with TCI Cablevision in San Jose and
