phpQuestioner Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 the reason redarrow, is because you can block them from accessing pages you did not want them to view, otherwise all they have to do is switch browsers. i know i can be done, because I have seen it done before; that is what the hell for. teng84 - that just gets the browser's IP Address; I know how to do that, but thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/57516-how-to-detect-computers-ip-address-not-browsers-ip-address/#findComment-284603 Share on other sites More sharing options...
redarrow Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 php can not on it own get the user's computer information and in essance most user's use a router and a firewall so the chance to get the user's nic address is slim hope you no that. ok how it done in the world of hacking well your need to understand the msdos prompt and send a request via the exec() php function and then get that information and post it in the database. but like i say it a slim chance to get the nic card name or users set ip address. it can be done but not somethink worth getting into ok.

phpQuestioner Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 The thing is that I know someone got the IP Address of my router this way and now I am trying to figure out how to cloak my router's static IP Address; without having to buy software. Even if I get software; I do not know if it would effectively hide or cloak my router's static IP Address. PS: I also want to know how they did it.

redarrow Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 dosent matter who got your static ip address as you set the ip address via your router, the router will asign services and ports to services that you the router owner owns. know if someone hacks your router then there add services to point to dynamic domains but to prevent this you set the username and password to a very good strict assignment. use letters and numbers ok. within the router your get a log file you can get php to do a cron to print the logout nightly.
