What is a cable modem uncapper and how does a hacker use it?

Cable Modem Uncapper

Uncapping cable modem tips:
A cable modem uncapper is a program floating around the Internet that uncaps the bandwidth limits either included in your cable modem or programmed in by your cable Internet provider. It's available in a Zip file, but be advised that using this program to uncap cable modem equipment will at the very least get your ISP service terminated. Thanks to Docsis and to the cable company monitoring users' modems for bandwidth hogging, using the cable modem uncapper program is in the category of “use at your own risk,” much like an uncapping machine.

There are also other uncapping programs users have offered in internet forums, including links to sites devoted to cable modem hacks. Again, this is murky territory.
