Tutorial [HOW-TO] Have a homemade Streetpass Relay

[alpha_noj]

You would need an additional Wifi adapter or card

Well that kinda sucks. Guess I'm out of luck on cycling automatically then.

Chaldron's MAC Cycler v2​

For Windows-based HomePass networks​

snip
-Considering allowing custom time (change every x minutes) DONE

Hi, firstly thanks for this useful cycler/macro...
If it's not too much hassle is it possible for you to add in this command after it has changed MAC addresses...

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

This is for just us with the Atheros Wifi Adapter chip on our machines, whenever you perform the MAC change, it disables the hosted network...

If it's ok can you make a version of your script with said functionality? Much appreciated and thank you for all the help.

Chaldron Can I use your script with connectify?

My phone is a LG Optimus L5, so it's not on the list. aside from the decide profile, my configuration is exactly like yours.
Still can't get it to work with the Generic ICS/JB configuration.

I suppose you could mess around with the profile settings first, try different ones. If that doesn't work, you could try using some other settings. I'm using slightly older Android firmware (4.0.4), so maybe you need that no-tether interface option checked if you have 4.2 or higher.

I can't find the option to change the MAC address on my phone, the 3DS doesn't even recognizeit as a NZone spot when its called attwifi. Help?

Phone; HTC Sensation on Jelly Bean 4.2.2

Idk how to or where the options for editing Mac is, but it isn't in the inbuilt tether app...

You'll have to root your phone and change system files. Or use that wifi Tether app.

I forgot to mention, it has CyanogenMod 10.2 so it is rooted. And what WiFi tether app? There's 100's. Is there a specific one that will give me the option go change/spoof MAC address?


EDIT: the 3DSs said an Nzone is here but it couldn't connect to it....

 

[RedHero]

Yes the 3ds need to be in sleepmode for it to work!

False, it doesn't need to be in sleep mode at all. In fact, if you don't use it in sleep mode, it'll search for a Nintendo Network every 30 seconds, maybe even less. If you have it closed it's more like 5 minutes (unless you restart the 3DS and close it). Downside is that the green streetpass light only burns for a few seconds and you might miss it (but you can check messages to see if you got any). I've done this before, which is why I know it works.

This one, needs a manual install:

Sorry for the double post.

Hello. First of all, I would like to congratulate everyone that has contributed to this topic. You guys don’t know how nice is to finally have a chance to eventually enjoy the Mii Plaza. Here in Brazil it’s not only really hard to get StreetPasses, but there’s also no plan for relay points and Nintendo Zones anytime soon. Sadly, I’ve not been able to make it work yet.

I'm using a Windows 7 with a wired connection and an unused wireless network named Wi-Fi, which I've configured with the MAC address as oriented. Using the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter, I created the attwifi network, connected my 3DS to it and now I can access both the internet and the Nintendo Zone page, but I've not yet been able to StreetPass anyone. In fact, the 3DS, when closed, only rarely communicate with the attwifi, which might be related to the problem.

Either way, that’s why I came asking for advice. Anyone has any idea how I should proceed? I’ve updated a photo of my “Network Connections” page just in case I messed up somewhere. It’s in Portuguese: http://i.imgur.com/kI58g9G.jpg . By the way, I don’t know why there are two Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapters, but only the later has been used until now. It might be related. Or not.

Funny. It looks exactly like mine.

Hi there,

I have set it up this morning, and the Nintendo Zone Icon appears on my 3DS XL. However, is this trick region specific? Seeing as I am in South Africa, I selected: NintendoSpotpass1. When I open the Nintendo Zone app, it gives me an error message: 013-8805 - Could not find page.

Is this because I would have to be located in the EU region in order for this to work? Please help.

 

[Brodius]

You're probably cloning the wrong MAC. It needs to be the a wireless LAN MAC specifically. This is the most common reason.

And I don't have the ability to do this... From what I can tell.

It won't let me grant Superuser, it Denies it straight away. It works with errors and failed with MAC changing....

 

[DSoryu]

Tried both W8 and Linux methods, the Windows method gives me the error "hosted netwok can't be started" when I change my wireless adapter MAC adress, but once i restore it to it's default the hosted network works again, and the Linux Method shows the comand properly, but my 3DS doesn't detect the spoofed NZone...

It's not region locked.

Check your Superuser app.

 

[plasma]

Check your Superuser app.

For what? I tried to allow permissions but Idk how for one as there is no list of apps that you can change the permissions for.

Check it's settings. You may have auto deny enabled.

This is for routers with DD-WRT firmware.

Well, lets move on to the title-based StreetPass!
MAC generated in a following way:
the first three octets are ASCII codes for "NSP" (4E:53:50)
the last three octets are CTR title code (i.e. CTR-XXX.-...)

Here you can find a list of game CTR codes: StreetPass CTR

For automatic MAC rotation just create a string from CTR-codes without any separators and add it to the following scripts just after [email protected] (you can choose to remove [email protected] as well if you do not want to use a common StreetPass MACs)

Insert script in Administration - Commands

echo -e "#!/bin/sh\nTITLES=OO@OOAOOBOOCOODOOEOOFOOGOOHOOIOOJOOKOOLOOMOONOOO\nBASE=NSP\nRANDOM=\$(head -c 2 /dev/urandom | hexdump -e '1/2 \"%u\"')\nCTR=\$((\$RANDOM%\$((\$(expr length \$TITLES)/3))))\nMAC=\$(echo \$BASE\$TITLES | cut -c 1-3,\$((\$CTR*3+4))-\$((\$CTR*3+6)) | hexdump -e '6/1 \"%02X:\"' | head -c 17)\nWLINT=\$(nvram get wl0_ifname)\nAPDCNF=/tmp/\${WLINT}_hostap.conf\nAPDPID=/var/run/\${WLINT}_hostapd.pid\nif [ -e \$APDCNF ]; then\nkill \$(cat \$APDPID)\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 Run Commands, insert again, hit Save Startup

Spoiler: /tmp/nzone source for advanced users

#!/bin/sh
TITLES=OO@OOAOOBOOCOODOOEOOFOOGOOHOOIOOJOOKOOLOOMOONOOO
BASE=NSP
RANDOM=$(head -c 2 /dev/urandom | hexdump -e '1/2 "%u"')
CTR=$(($RANDOM%$(($(expr length $TITLES)/3))))
MAC=$(echo $BASE$TITLES | cut -c 1-3,$(($CTR*3+4))-$(($CTR*3+6)) | hexdump -e '6/1 "%02X:"' | head -c 17)
WLINT=$(nvram get wl0_ifname)
APDCNF=/tmp/${WLINT}_hostap.conf
APDPID=/var/run/${WLINT}_hostapd.pid
if [ -e $APDCNF ]; then
kill $(cat $APDPID)
sed -ri s/bssid=.*/bssid=$MAC/ $APDCNF
hostapd -B -P $APDPID $APDCNF
else
ifconfig $WLINT down
ifconfig $WLINT hw ether $MAC
ifconfig $WLINT up
fi

In Administration - Management - Cron insert:

*/10 1-7 * * * root /tmp/nzone

and 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

Do not set cron to run more often than once per 10 minutes.
Thoug this script was tested on DD-WRT v24 Pre SP2, it may not run properly on your device because of the hardware and specifiv DD-WRT build differences. 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

nvram get wl0_ifname
ifconfig
iwconfig
ps

Spoiler: To do list

- support multi-ssid configuration
- check script with Realtek-baset routers

Thanks for all your efforts, I followed your instructions to the letter, but still nothing here... Weird, I am starting to think the micro build has some things removed involving the rotating scripts.

Idek where that is. Everything gets granted except the Setting Mac address and softap

The Mac address I'm ttyna use is 4e:53:50:4f:4f:46
