With GNU/Linux iptables it's just one rule in the "mangle" table with TTL target.
On *BSD with pf "packet normalization" can be done with pf's "scrub" directive with min-ttl option.
Unfortunately, I've never used iOS and/or OS X/Darwin, so I don't know what are possibilities are there. But I believe there should be some.
- metageek 16y agoIt can't be set to 256 because it's only 8 bits. (Edit: on reflection, if you know enough to know about the forwarding chains, I'm sure you know that TTL is 8 bits. Sorry.)
- drdaeman 16y agoMy bad, I probably didn't explain myself correctly. I was talking about modifying TTL of the forwarded packets on the phone, to make the packets look like they were originated from the phone itself.
- metageek 16y agoOK, yeah. I don't know how MyWi works; if it forwards everything by hand, then it can definitely do that. If not, yeah, it's dependent on what the kernel can do.
