During lockdown 1.0 in the UK I wanted to get tv news from NL so as to get a second view. I’m from the UK but speak Dutch as a second language.

Anyway, I wrote a C++ (boost) command line tool to brute force MAC addresses to a popular illegal IPTV service out of Russia. The server had > 9000 channels available though I was only interested in the Dutch ones.

I’d feed the MAC address into Kodi’s Stalker Client.
