Tutorial [HOW-TO] Have a homemade Streetpass Relay

[turok4n64]

sigh...

My Mii WiiDSmoker has been street passing people 24/7 to help others complete all puzzle pieces for almost two weeks now and all I ask is that someone help me get the remaining last 9 USA regions that I need.

Montana
Wyoming
North Dakota
South Dakota
Nebraska
Oklahoma
Louisiana
Vermont
Puerto Rico

It's really easy to do. Go to Settings, change your Region to one of the following and then we StreetPass and change the region again, repeat. I am using the DD WRT cron job so my MAC Address changes every 2 minutes so it's very fast.

I would love to help you complete all your regions in your country as well. Would truly appreciate it!

Someone help.....

Can anyone tell me how to change your wireless MAC automatically using a DD-WRT router?
(How to cycle basically)

 

[fenor]

I didn't use a USB dongle, my laptop has wifi and ethernet in the same network adapter, try unpluging your dongle (assuming you have a laptop/pc with wireless and cable connection) and run commands these in order
1) sudo chmod +x ./home_zone
2) sudo ./home_zone spoof1 wlan0 eth0
If that doens't work I'm out of ideas

home_zone is already executable (look the output of the ls -la | grep home_zone) and the sudo command is the one i give. with wlan1 since that's the name of the interface of the dongle.

Once you have DD-WRT and your SSID set to "attwifi"; go to the Cron Job..I think it's under Administration and simply copy/paste this.

0-59/4 * * * * root ifconfig eth1 down && ifconfig eth1 hw ether 40:53:50:4F:4F:`/bin/cat /proc/interrupts | /usr/bin/md5sum | /usr/bin/cut -b 1``/bin/cat /proc/interrupts | /usr/bin/md5sum | /usr/bin/cut -b 1` && ifconfig eth1 up

Damn...I just checked my settings. Looks like it has to be someone in the western world. Anyone here able to help? :/

I use the Android method with the Streetpass Riilay app.

My 3DS successfully find a Nintendo Zone but I never have any Mii or other streetpass data. If I open the Nintendo Zone app it's showing a message "coming soon" and my 3DS is updated to the most recent firmware.
What must you do to get streetpass data? I use as SSID attwifi and as MAC 4E:53:50:4F:4F:46

This is for routers with DD-WRT firmware, micro build is not supported yet
The v3.3 script is the main now!

This script also can be used with ASUS WL-5xx and RT-N1x custom firmware

Insert script in Administration - Commands (for WL500G custom firmware just use Telnet/SSH client or use three commands one-by-one in System Setup - System Command ):

wget -O /tmp/nzone.sh http://duke-srg.dyndns.org/3ds/nzone/nzone.sh; chmod +x /tmp/nzone.sh; /tmp/nzone.sh

and push hit Apply Settings. This script will install the MAC changing script to your router, set up cron to run the script and reboot router to apply changes. After reboot you can change the MAC lists to get and time period to run the MAC change, just go to Administration - Management - Cron and edit the line. You can change the second asterisk with the working hours of the script, e.x. "* 1-7 * * *..." will run MAC change from 1:00 to 07:59 (am). Do not change the first asterisk, this script designed to run every minute and calculate if it is time to change MAC based on the MAC quantity and cooldown time. The script parameter (by default 49,BASE16,GBATEMP) is a comma-separated address-list identifiers. This script will connect to my server and get your selected lists. For now only these lists are available:
BASE1 - the common prime "@SPOOF" address
BASE16 - the common prime 16 addresses range
BASE256 - the prime 256 addresses range
1 to 3 digit number - the Country Code for Nintendo Zone official hot spot MACS. For now only "49" for USA is available.
3 character game CTR code - to have a desired game title streetpass data. See example below or use my compilation of StreetPass CTR codes. Use only CTR codes for the games you have enabled streetpass!
GBATEMP - custom addresses from GBATEMP users static MAC adresses.
This script will cycle randomly through all MACs in list, one time per each MAC, and try to update list from the server.

Spoiler: CTR code on a gamecard example

StarWars III have a CRT code "ALG", it is displayed on a sticker in the middle of a character string below, and printed at the beggining of the string at the back of a gamecard:

Spoiler: v2 script

Insert script in Administration - Commands

echo -e "#!/bin/sh\nMACS=/tmp/nzone.macs\n[ -f \$MACS ] || wget -q -O \$MACS \"http://duke-srg.dyndns.org/3ds/nzone?\$1\"\nMACNUM=\$(cat \$MACS | wc -l)\n[ \$MACNUM != 0 ] || exit\nRANDOM=\$(head /dev/urandom | hexdump -d | head -n 1 | cut -c 11-15)\nMACNUM=\$((\$RANDOM%\${MACNUM}+1))\nMAC=\$(head -n \$MACNUM \$MACS | tail -n 1)\nWLINT=\$(nvram get wl0_ifname)\nAPDCNF=/tmp/\${WLINT}_hostap.conf\nAPDPID=/var/run/\${WLINT}_hostapd.pid\nif [ -e \$APDCNF ]; then\nkill \$(cat \$APDPID)\nsleep 3\nsed -ri s/bssid=.*/bssid=\$MAC/ \$APDCNF\nhostapd -B -P \$APDPID \$APDCNF\nelse\nifconfig \$WLINT down\nifconfig \$WLINT hw ether \$MAC\nifconfig \$WLINT up\nfi" >/tmp/nzone; chmod 555 /tmp/nzone

hit Save Startup

[ $MACNUM != 0 ] || exit
RANDOM=$(head /dev/urandom | hexdump -d | head -n 1 | cut -c 11-15)

hostapd -B -P $APDPID $APDCNF
else
ifconfig $WLINT down
ifconfig $WLINT hw ether $MAC
ifconfig $WLINT up
fi

In Administration - Management - Cron insert:

*/15 * * * * root /tmp/nzone 49,BASE16

and change script parameter. The script parameter (in example above is 49,BASE16) is a comma-separated address-list identifiers. This script will connect to my server and get your selected lists. For now only these lists are available:
BASE1 - the common prime "@SPOOF" address
BASE16 - the common prime 16 addresses range
BASE256 - the prime 256 addresses range
1 to 3 digit number - the Country Code for Nintendo Zone official hot spot MACS. For now only "49" for USA is available.
3 character game CTR code - to have a desired game title streetpass data. See example below or use my compilation of StreetPass CTR codes. Use only CTR codes for the games you have enabled streetpass!
GBATEMP - custom addresses from GBATEMP users static MAC adresses.
hit Apply Settings. Now your router will change to a random MAC from a selected list every 10 minutes starting from 1:00 to 7:50

Spoiler: FAQ

Q: Why do we need a title-specific MACS? I feel comfortable with common 16 MACS
A: There are over 130 StreetPass-enabled games now. If you're using less common games, you may pass hundreds of streetpasses to get a StreetPass data for them. The dedicated MAC for a title will guarantee you will get data for that title, as soon as somebody else is using it.

Q: Why not to use a siple cycle through all common MACs
A: In case it is not randomized, you have a big probability to get a StreetPass data from the same partner several times in a row

Q: Can a change MAC more often to get more streetpasses?
A: Since you can only get one StreetPass from a unique MAC per 8 hours, switching MAC too often will at least do nothing for you and at worst spam all used MACs with your data. I suggest you shold change MAC not more than (Number_of_MACS / 8)*2 times per hour

Q: Your script is not working as it should
A1: You should not check for a MAC change at the DD-WRT interface, here only the permanent MAC used at the router startup is displayed. You can check your mac have changed like this

ifconfig $(nvram get wl0_ifname)

A2: If you have a DD-WRT micro build, it is not supported, at least yet.
A3: You should try to manually run script

/tmp/nzone

If MAC is not changed please PM me the output, if any.
If MAC is changed, try to restart cron daemon

stopservice cron; startservice cron

as it seems to be a bug with cron deamon goes to sleep and prevent running scheduled jobs at several DD-WRT builds
A4: Though this script was tested on DD-WRT v24 preSP2 (Build 21061) and WL500gP (1.9.2.7-d-r2624), it may not run properly on your device because of the DD-WRT build differences for a variety of hardware. If this is the case, please make sure you have the latest DD-WRT available for your router and PM me output for this commands

cat /proc/cpuinfo
nvram get wl0_ifname
ifconfig
iwconfig
ps

Spoiler: To do list

- support multi-ssid configuration
- check script with Realtek-baset routers
- DD-WRT micro support

Can anyone please explain to me how to use this script? I used the code to put in administration commanes. However I don't understabd what to put in cron...

 

[turok4n64]

Doesn't work.

Try changing eth1 to wan0

[gamefan5]

Forget that, I'm following the script shown for v3. Yours just made me freeze my router numerous times.

 

[gamefan5]

Sorry for double posting, but where do we use the CTR or MAC address for a certain game in the script? Or rather, how do we use it please?

 

[Koldur]

I am trying to get Streetpasses at work using the repeater function, but then eth1 does not work as my virtual wlan has a different mac address and has to be commanded differently than eth1 in the script, I already tried wl0.1 (that is the name of the virtual network and the default name of the "master network" is wl0) with no change in mac address, also tried eth1.1 without luck as well, anyone that can help me out with this?

 

[bastalle]

does anyone who has the win xp method working know whats going wrong with mine?
i have followed the guide but when i setup the 3ds connection it fails to connect to the access point.

Save it in Startup, reboot your router and wait a minute. Check it back and the Cron part will be filled.

Already did it so thx. But how do we use the streetpass CTR and MACs?

 

[Kitsunegi]

You're on Windows? Try an RTL8192CU. They don't work that well for actual internet using (I was getting like 100 KB/s downstream max) but they do work well under windows for this. As has been mentioned though, you'll be restricted to MACs starting with a certain octet (like 4e:, 02 link. Or you could go with the slightly cheaper RTL8188CUS: link
here's a link to the driver for both of them, though you'll need to copy/paste it into your address bar since Userass linking doesn't work here: ftp://WebUser:[email protected]/cn/wlan/RTL819xCU_AutoInstallPackage.zip

Just to be clear...is this for the virtual router network method? I don't want to spend my money and then have no idea what I'm doing :x

 

[gamefan5]

Is is possible to erase the command in administrator? If so, how? Plz reply, it's quite urgent.

 

[Xellos Metallium]

admin cmd doesn't saves*, only the "startup area"

*reboot your router to clear admin cmds
