Guys,

Lets say i am a web programmer and i want to use strong sessions.

Is it possible for the web server to determine the MAC of clients browsing
the application.

If yes, I can programatically use this MAC address in sessions to prevent
lot of session related attacks.

For right now, say I can implement the web application in any language i
want.

Thanks
