Twister1004 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Hello everyone. I was wondering if it is possible in PHP to find a MAC Address on the computer that has submitted information. Is it at all possible? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/138104-solved-is-it-possiable-to-find-a-mac-address/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Highly unlikely. Requests come through multiple router before getting to your server, even if you could get at this information all you would get is the address of the last node.

MadTechie Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 No.. thats infomation isn't passed and if it was it could be spoofed you could try a something like pinging his IP (not really a PHP function) ie shell 'ping $ip && arp -a | grep $ip' but still pointless Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/138104-solved-is-it-possiable-to-find-a-mac-address/#findComment-721947 Share on other sites More sharing options...
