Suchy Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Many scripts relly on IP address of a computer to restrict the user from doing some things (ex. voting multiple times in a poll, baning users....) The problem is that IP's change. Is it possible to use MAC address of a computer which never changes insed of IP ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 read this -> http://forums.devarticles.com/general-programming-help-4/how-can-i-find-out-the-user-mac-address-1846.html and look at the reply by nicat23 in particular. There are other responses with scripts that may or may not be useful, but I suspect it'll be reliable only across a LAN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 MAC addresses are as little reliable as IP addresses are. They can be spoofed as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
