Intercepting the Packets

There’s a few ways in which you can intercept the communication between the rabbit and the server:

1. Define a proxy in the rabbit’s wireless setup screen, to point at your packet-intercepter
2. Spoof the response to the DNS request that the rabbit makes when trying to light the third green LED on bootup
3. Use a firewall which redirects requests to the Violet server, so you can grab the packets and fake a response

Of these ways, I’m using the first one. It’s simple, doesn’t involve fooling any piece of hardware (much), and I already have a machine running 24/7 in my house. You can read more about how I’ve done it at the My Proxy page.
