Is there a way to identify MAC address from web

Hello,

Is there any way to get visitors Mac addresses not only IPs ?

If not, is there any other way to identify visitors but not by IP.

 

My son son says activeX or a java applet (not javascript) can do it.

ActiveX will trigger a warning in most browsers and I don't know if applet will or not.

 

Yes, a Java Applet will do the trick. Here is an example... http://techdetails.agwego.com/2008/02/11/37/

 

See this following php based method to obtain the mac address.

How to get MAC Address using php

 

NeoCambell, I think he want's to get the MAC address from the client side, PHP is a server side language.

 

Hi SpawnONE,
Of cause, It is about taking the MAC address of the client by matching remote address with arp table. There are certain things needed on Apache server to do this as stated in comments.

Neo

 

NeoCambell, agreed! I tested the script and it works fine. Congrats!
