Comcast MAC address spoofing...a potential problem for data caps

Update: For all the people who have asked.
1. No I did NOT take this from theory to practice. That would probably be illegal without Comcast/Xfinity's permission.
2. No I will NOT provide you with more detail. If you are asking you probably are hacking and not fixing.
3. MAC addresses are notoriously easy to grab over the air.
4. In all fairness to Comcast they state that they expire your MAC based auth every 24 hours. I will leave it up to someone else to comment on whether that is short enough, secure enough, and/or it actually happens.

Below the var model = ProductOverviewModel{...
section add model.CustomProperties.Add("stockQuantity", product.StockQuantity);

This will add a custom property to the ProductOverviewModel and since you are already looping through the products returned there won't be a significant performance hit.

Then find the \Nop.Web\Views\Shared\_ProductBox.cshtml ...or other equivalent file if you have already modify this one and swapped it out.

...add below code to the Product Box view where you want it to show up.
@if (Model.CustomProperties.ContainsKey("stockQuantity"))
{

Qty:
@Model.CustomProperties["stockQuantity"]

}

Then recompile the Nop.Web project and move the Nop.Web.dll to the bin folder for test or pr…
