Tutorial [HOW-TO] Have a homemade Streetpass Relay

Walkin · Aug 14, 2013

I just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone again. I'm currently using the Windows 7 setup with the cycler, but have the Ubuntu setup working as well so I can actually connect to the Nintendo Zone. Sure beats driving to Best Buy.

Here's my solution for Windows 7/8 (also Windows Server 2008, I'm using it on that OS) that let do everything without the need of other programs:

First file, this is the one that need to be started in an elevated privileges command prompt

Code:

for /f "delims=" %%x in (C:\mac.txt) do call C:\NintendoZone.bat %%x

NintendoZone.bat:

Code:

set macaddr=%1
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\XXXX /v NetworkAddress /t REG_SZ /d %macaddr% /f
netsh interface set interface name="Wi-Fi" admin=disabled
netsh interface set interface name="Wi-Fi" admin=enabled
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow
netsh wlan set hostednetwork ssid=attwifi key=PASSWORD_WIFI keyUsage=persistent
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
timeout 1800
netsh wlan stop hostednetwork
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\XXXX /v NetworkAddress /f

You have to find out the ID of the wifi card: open the properties of the card, Details tab, in the drop down menù you can find it under the voice above ConfigFlags, in italian is "Chiave Driver", I don't know the english name.
The last four numbers have to substitute the four X in the code.
You have also to check what the name of the wireless connection is: in my case it is Wi-Fi, you have to check it and rename it properly.
Finally, choose a password for the wifi network.

The last file is the mac address list, I called it mac.txt in the script. The following mac address are only an example, you have to write them one for each line:

Code:

4E53504F4F40
4E53504F4F41
4E53504F4F42
4E53504F4F43
4E53504F4F44

When you will have start the hosted network remember to share the connection from the physical network interface to the one that popped out when you start the hotspot.
Remember that you have to create the connection in the 3DS and, to be sure, cancel any other connection profile that let you connect to your home wifi ssid.

People, any help? Successfuly changed my MAC with MACShift and starter a wireless network using

Code:

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

and my 3DS connected to the network and have internet, can navigate normally and stuff, it recognices the Nintendo Zone but when I open the app it says it cannot connect, also not getting any street pass

alpha_noj · Aug 14, 2013

Going to play around with it on my own, but asking anyway in case someone already did this already--does the old Wi-Fi Max work with this? As in the original that was used with Xlink Kai to tunnel the PSP? Shows up as Atheros AR5007UG in network connections, but I don't see it on the list of supported devices for virtual router manager.

I've got the same problem. I've tried the Virtual Router Manager, the automatic script Chaldron created and posted and the Connec8 method which is pretty much Virtual Router Manager but in cmd, but no dice.

I am trying with two wireless network adapters, one built in and one plugged into my laptop in the USB slot, so that could be it. Can't imagine why, but I'll try a wired connection tomorrow, but I'm not holding out much hope at the moment!

I believe the set-up is correct, unless I've misinterpreted some instructions somewhere.

shadowdogg · Aug 14, 2013

I am a bit confused by that dd-wrt script, it seems a bit overly complicated, I was trying to see if I could do anything, but it didn't seem to work for me.

It seems i have no iwconfig? My router whr-g300v2, 4D is default

root@Nintendo-ROUTER:~# ifconfig ath0 hwaddr=4E:53:50:4F:4F:40
root@Nintendo-ROUTER:~# ifconfig ath0 up

As it seemed to be part of your code, it didn't do anything. I will continue playing about with it.

Also this:

root@Nintendo-ROUTER:~# stopservice lan
root@Nintendo-ROUTER:~# nvram set ath0_hwaddr=4E:53:50:4F:4F:40
root@Nintendo-ROUTER:~# nvram commit
root@Nintendo-ROUTER:~# startservice lan

ath9k deconfigure_single: phy0 ath0
ath9k configure_single: phy0 ath0
549:ath0
setup ath0 4E:53:50:4F:4F:4D
lo: File exists

It does work however if I change the mac address for wifi in the dd-wrt webgui and then do stopservice lan and startservice lan on telnet.. gah!!

Hello.

I am using a rooted Motorola Atrix 2.

Have the 3.3 beta wifi tether program installed, as well as busybox and terminal emulator to test if it works.

Inputted the MAC address and the SSID, checked the settings I needed to enable and picked my own phone for "Change Device-Profile" (it says "device changed to "edison"" if that means anything). Even went through the trouble of disabling the entitlement check.

Still not really having any luck, however. I changed the device to "Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)" and "Generic ICS/JB (wlan1)" and "Auto" too, still not working.

When I had it set to (wlan0) I also input "busybox iplink show wlan0" and I'm getting "iplink: can't find device 'wlan0'", so no luck. Are there any other effective ways to really test if it works?

And granted my phone isn't as recent as a Samsung Galaxy, am I out of luck? I also checked WiFi-driver reload and reload 2 and it still didn't work.

lpchaim · Aug 14, 2013

Whew, I finally got it working! As I only have access to a wireless connection, it was quite a pain to get it done... Tried messing with windows hosted networks, but they wouldn't reflect mac changes at all.
So, what I did in the end was reverse tether my android like this and manually change its mac address like this (lasts until reboot, but necessary since the wif itether app would spew errors if spoofing was enabled) and enable the wifi tether app. Maybe this app will work for mac changing as well? Havent tested. I might make a script for the android side to simplify things on the future.
Thank you very, very much everyone who mobilized and researched this. Now I can finally complete the puzzles and beat find mii properly!

ANDROID

WARNING: Note all guides work for all devices, I and the tutorial maker are not responsible for any bricks or ponys coming out from your device! Do at your own risk.
If some guide works and it isn't listed please say so I can add it to the list

Before beggining some important things:
You only streetpass with the same relay once every 8 hours, however you can change your mac at any time to one of those in the list.
Please try to use the mac's on the spreadsheet.
Don't cycle through all the macs in just 10 min, leave 30 min between mac changing so the next person who connects to you doesnt always get your mii.
Try to enable streetpass on all the games you have to get the best experience.
Also it has been confirmed that the ssid DOES mater so use attwifi ALWAYS.

[h2]Guide 1[/h2]
Confirmed working on:

Galaxy S (Gt-I9000) with 2.3.6

~~S2 (GT-I9100) with 4.1.2~~

What do you need:
I. Root
II. Mobile Internet Connection
III. Android Wifi Tether
You can find it here: https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

1. Install: wifi_tether_v3_3-beta2.apk
2. start the app
3. Go to Settings and
3.a) change Device Profile to: Auto
3.b) change Setup-Method to: Auto
3.c) change SSID to: attwifi
3.d) check on Mac Address Spoof
3.e) Change Mac address to one of the list found here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0AvvH5W4E2lIwdEFCUkxrM085ZGp0UkZlenp6SkJablE&toomany=true
3.f) check Wifi-driver reload and Wifi-driver reload 2
4. Go back, tab on the Wifi. Now you have Streetpass relay.

Confirmed working on S2 (GT-I9100) with 4.1.2, working with both wifitether 3.3 and 3.4.

EDIT: Enabling data enhances the download speed, whereas leaving the data off makes the download speed deathly slow..

MalpercioGoC · Aug 14, 2013

Followed the Android guide, but seem to be having issues on my Galaxy Nexus. Have root access, everything, and the 3DS detects the Nintendo Zone.

Any ideas?

Copy and paste what it appears on the console to here please

It seemed to work when I copied it from what you had written instead of writing it out myself, though there was nothing different with either.

However for some reason I can't do the iwconfig so I can't find what my internet is on.

Chaldron · Aug 14, 2013

Okay so I'm currently working on these things for the MAC Cycler:

- A "Max" version which cycles through all 100 MACs possible for the last octet.

and

-A graphical UI.

The max version will probably be done tonight or tommorow morning while the GUI might take a bit

I don't know why it wasn't working before put in eth0 before but whatever, now its working and I got the connection up.

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

Code:

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 -e \$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

Code:

#!/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 -e $BASE$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:

Code:

*/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

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: Depending on router model it can tike upto two minutes for Access Point to restart with new MAC
A2: Though this script was tested on DD-WRT v24 preSP2 (Build 21061), 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

Code:

cat /proc/cpuinfo nvram get wl0_ifname ifconfig iwconfig ps

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

I've been trying to make this work for a while now, doing restarts of the router, making sure I'm on build 21061 like you, changing the cron job even to execute every 5 minutes with no required time frame, but the MAC for Wireless never updates. I've already gotten a few Streetpasses to work manually, but this rotation is going no where. I don't get any output when I run the command you posted in the Webgui, either. Router is Linksys e1200.

Sure do - I'm able to access Nintendo Zone assets, like the news items and such, via attwifi, broadcast from my phone. Tried a few other methods around here, none have worked so far... :/

Chaldron · Aug 14, 2013

MAC Cycle updated to version 4! Max version available for download, which cycles 100 MACs!

Thought I'd reiterate the features here until I create my own thread for this

-Cycles 100 MACs

-Works for atheros and broadcom

-Allows set time between cycling

Maverynthia · Aug 14, 2013

Two questions:
1. Can this be done on Windows XP for those out there that have a wired connection and a dongle, but don't have a 500 core computer with 200 terabytes of memory to run Windows 7/8? (Basically people with no money/want to upgrade)
2. If we have an android connection is it possible/how can we share our address to basically have an auto 8 hour street pass for those that don't want to keep manually adding MAC ids to Wifi_Tether? (Sleepy people, people on vacation, etc.)
2b, that being said IS there a way to have a MAC list in Wifi tether and just select then start from it?

Might be an issue with the MAC address that you used, have you tried others?
