Yeah, this kinda crossed my mind while hanging around a fellow site off of this Forum Engine...

I know that this Forum will record IP Addresses (Mods and Admins will need them for quick referance to Users), but does it record the MAC Addresses?

If it isn't, it would really be useful, since IP Addresses are really easy to configure and spoof, while the MAC Addresses are a lot harder.

If the PSP can spoof Mac addresses, I highly doubt it's more difficult to spoof a computer's. I don't even know if you can get the user's MAC address (tl;dg).

Lo.

Its quite easy to spoof a mac address. Regardless if i am correct PHP can't read a Mac address.
